Abstract:
An ACC system and method of using such for changing a turbine blade to BOAS gap on an aircraft engine is disclosed. The ACC system may comprise a first ring, a first supply line and a first flow control assembly. The first ring may be configured to substantially encircle a portion of a case assembly that is disposed around an aircraft engine turbine. The first ring may include a plurality of segments that each define a chamber, an inlet port and a plurality of outlet ports. At least a portion of the outlet ports may be configured to be disposed adjacent to the case. The first supply line may be operatively connected to a first segment of the plurality of segments. The first flow control assembly may be operatively connected to the first supply line and configured to meter the flow of cool air into the first segment.
