| Zusammenfassung: | The present application provides a compressor clearance control system for a gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine includes a turbine producing exhaust gases and a compressor with a casing and a number of rotor blades. The compressor clearance control system may include a casing heat exchanger positioned about the casing of the compressor and an extraction port for exhaust gases from the turbine. The extraction port is in communication with the casing heat exchanger so as to heat the casing of the compressor with the exhaust gases from the turbine. |
