Axial flow compressor case

摘要

The adjacent spacers that make up a compressor case for a multistage axial flow compressor carry a row of vanes at one end that are held in position during assembly of the compressor by a ring that is bolted to a flange at that end of the spacer and the spacer extends over the row of vanes of an adjacent spacer and is secured by a row of bolts to the adjacent spacer. This ring is T-shaped to pilot the ring on the spacer to which it is secured and also to pilot the opposite end flange of the adjacent spacer during assembly.
