ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling the clearance between the blade tips of a gas turbine engine turbine rotor and associated segmented shrouds comprises a control ring which is secured to the engine casing by a plurality of dowels. The control ring is supplied with cooling fluid to its hollow interior and is covered with a thermally insulating layer, whereby the rate of movement of the shroud segments can be maintained substantially equal to that of the adjacent turbine rotor.
