High-pressure compressor stator

摘要

A stator suitable for high-pressure compressors in gas turbine engines includes two points of ventilation at different temperatures. It is recommended that the upstream section of the stator be constructed with a casing and a shroud, both of which are unbroken around a circumference and made of a material with a low degree of thermal expansion. Downstream the shroud is, however, constructed using angular sectors in a material with a higher degree of thermal expansion.
