Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0481149A1] A method for preventing rubbing between a gas turbine engine rotor and surrounding annular shroud during transient changes in engine power monitors high rotor speed for determining the existence of a thermal mismatch between the rotor and shroud supporting turbine case (9). The method directs the cooling flow modulating valve (44) to substantially shut off the flow of cooling air to the case (9) for a period of time sufficient to allow the thermal mismatch to pass. <IMAGE>
