METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A TURBOMACHINE, AND TURBOMACHINE

A method for assembling a turbomachine, the turbomachine has an inner part for arranging in an outer case, which has a parting joint extending along an axis and is divisible into an outer-case upper part and an outer-case lower part. The inner part has rotor parts for rotating about the axis during operation and static components and has at least one seal extending in the circumferential direction for sealing a gap between the inner part and a sealing surface of the outer case. The method includes: providing the outer-case lower part, inserting the inner part into the outer-case lower part in a first axial position, joining the outer-case lower part and outer-case upper part, axially moving the inner part in the outer case in relation to the outer case from the first axial position into an axial end position such that the seal comes in contact with the sealing surface.
