using stator or rotor components with predetermined thermal response, e.g. selective insulation, thermal inertia, differential expansion

Full Title

Preventing or minimising internal leakage of working fluid, e.g. between stages > for sealing space between rotor blade tips and stator > Adjusting or regulating tip-clearance, i.e. distance between rotor-blade tips and stator casing > by self-adjusting means > using stator or rotor components with predetermined thermal response, e.g. selective insulation, thermal inertia, differential expansion
