Abstract:
The turbomachine includes a rotatable member defining an axis of rotation and an inner annular casing extending circumferentially over at least a portion of the rotatable member. The inner annular casing includes a radially outer surface. The turbomachine further includes an outer annular casing extending over at least a portion of the inner annular casing. The inner annular casing and the outer annular casing define a plurality of cavities therebetween. The clearance control system includes a manifold system including a plurality of conduits extending circumferentially about the inner annular casing and disposed within the cavities. The clearance control system also includes an impingement system extending circumferentially about the inner annular casing and disposed within the cavities. The conduits are configured to channel a flow of cooling fluid to the impingement system which is configured to channel the cooling fluid to the radially outer surface of the inner annular casing.
