CLEARANCE CONTROL BETWEEN ROTATING AND STATIONARY STRUCTURES

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a system of an engine, comprising: a clearance control thermal ring, and a seal ring, where a radial gap with respect to an axial centerline of the engine is formed between a radial end of the clearance control thermal ring and a facing radial surface of the...

Zusammenfassung:Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a system of an engine, comprising: a clearance control thermal ring, and a seal ring, where a radial gap with respect to an axial centerline of the engine is formed between a radial end of the clearance control thermal ring and a facing radial surface of the seal ring, where the clearance control thermal ring is made of a first material and the seal ring is made of a second material that is different from the first material, and where a first coefficient of thermal expansion of the first material is less than a second coefficient of thermal expansion of the second material.
