  • Integrated turbine sealing air and active clearance control system and method
    Publication number: 20070110564
    Abstract: An active clearance control system is provided that uses compressor extraction air to manipulate blade tip clearance in an industrial gas turbine and compressor. A stream of air is taken from a cooling and sealing air circuit and redirected to be used for active clearance control. The spent clearance control air is re-introduced into the hot gas path of the gas turbine for cooling and sealing purposes.
