Abstract
A housing for an axial compressor is disclosed having an inner and outer wall surrounding the compressor rotor, the walls being joined by a number of flexible connecting rods, connecting lugs and a connecting block. An outer surface of the inner wall has circumferentially extending corrugation and the rods are attached thereto at peaks in the corrugation. The flexible connecting rods are located in alignment with a leading edge and a trailing edge of stator vanes which extend from an inner surface of the inner wall. The housing may be cast as an integral, one piece element and subsequently subdivided into arcuate segments to facilitate attachment to the compressor.
