Abstract
In one embodiment, a compressor clearance control system is provided. The compressor clearance control system includes a cooling air source, a compressor casing, and a cooling air flowpath defined through the compressor casing. The flowpath includes an inlet configured to receive cooling air from the cooling air source and an outlet configured to exhaust the cooling air to the cooling air source such that the flowpath defines a closed loop within the compressor.
