ABSTRACT:
The lower half of the turbomachine casing is mounted so as to retain the casing half in a set horizontal plane despite thermal expansions and contractions. To this end, the support arrangement at one end of the casing half includes vertically disposed rods which have a coefficient of thermal expansion less than that of the casing as well as covers which are secured to the casing and rest on the rods in order to transfer the weight of the casing to the rods. When heated, the rods expand upwardly while the covers expand downwardly. The two expansion effects cancel each other so that the plane of the lower casing half is maintained set.
