Zusammenfassung:	Various embodiments include apparatuses and systems for controlling compressor clearances. In one case, an apparatus (6) includes: a material layer (14) sized to fit a case of a gas turbine (GT) compressor (4) in a GT system (3), the material layer (14) including a heating element (16) for applying heat to the case of the GT compressor (4); and a control system (24) coupled with the material layer (14), the control system (24) configured to: determine whether a shutdown sequence is occurring in the GT system (3); and actuate the heating element (16) to apply heat to the case of the GT compressor (4) in response to determining that the shutdown sequence is occurring.
