Abstract
An axial-flow compressor with variable stator vanes located at a single stage can be modified by adding variable stator vanes to the axial-flow compressor so that the variable stator vanes are located at a plurality of stages. The axial-flow compressor includes stator vane rows located at the plurality of stages and include the variable stator vanes extending in a radial direction of the axial-flow compressor and rotating around rotary shafts of the variable stator vanes so as to adjust angles of the variable stator vanes; a plurality of rings are connected to the stator vane rows and drive and rotate the variable stator vanes of the stator vane rows that correspond to respective rings; a plurality of levers that correspond to the plurality of rings; a rotary shaft that holds the plurality of levers so as to enable the levers to pivot.
