Abstract: A heat management system for turbomachinery is provided. The heat management system includes a thermal delivery system configured to providing heating, cooling, or a combination thereof, to a turbomachinery. The thermal delivery system includes a first heat transfer conduit and a second heat transfer conduit. The second heat transfer conduit is disposed on the turbomachinery adjacent to the first heat transfer conduit. The heat management system additionally includes a controller operatively coupled to the thermal delivery system and configured to control the heating, the cooling, or the combination thereof, of the turbomachinery via the thermal delivery system.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an alignment device may be configured to align a first turbine engine casing and a second turbine engine casing. The alignment device may include a fixed portion configured to be fixedly attached to the first turbine engine casing. The alignment device may also include a bridge portion configured to interface with the second turbine engine casing, wherein the bridge portion defines a first range of motion for the fixed portion along a first axis and a second range of motion for the fixed portion along a second axis when the alignment device is engaged with the first turbine engine casing and the second turbine engine casing, and wherein the alignment device is configured to facilitate movement of the first turbine engine casing relative to the second turbine engine casing within the range of motion and the second range of motion.
