KOMPRESSORGEHAEUSE MIT REGELBAREM INNENDURCHMESSER FUER EINE TURBOMASCHINE.

摘要

A compressor casing in a gas turbine engine includes an inner jacket formed by two half-shells connected by coupling flanges having cylindrical bellows fitted therebetween and arranged to expand and contract to control the inner diameter of the casing depending on the pressure within the bellows as provided by a supply of air taken from the downstream end of the compressor. The two half-shells are also interconnected by an additional flexible connection.
