CLEARANCE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR GAS TURBINE
In a clearance control system for a gas turbine, a control device operates an adjustment device such that a first flow rate is greater than a second flow rate when a load stable state is entered in which a fluctuation range of a load shifts within a preset range, and operates the adjustment device such that the second flow rate is greater than the first flow rate when a load fluctuation state is entered in which the load falls outside the range.

Mission adaptive clearance control system and method of operation
A compressor case for a gas turbine engine includes an annular body that extends circumferentially around a center axis and extends axially along the center axis. A first bleed manifold is formed on an outer surface of the annular body and encloses a first plenum. A second bleed manifold is formed on the outer surface of the annular body and is axially aft of the first bleed manifold. The second bleed manifold encloses a second plenum. A bleed inlet extends through the annular body and into the first bleed manifold. Cooling passages are formed in the annular body, and each of the cooling passages extends from the first plenum to the second plenum and fluidically connects the first plenum to the second plenum.
