Patent attributes
An impeller shroud assembly for a gas turbine engine includes an annular impeller shroud disposed about an axial centerline. The impeller shroud includes a shroud inducer portion and a shroud exducer portion disposed radially outward of the shroud inducer portion and extending to an outer radial end of the impeller shroud. The shroud inducer portion and the shroud exducer portion defining an impeller-facing surface of the impeller shroud. The impeller shroud has a pivot point defined between the shroud inducer portion and the shroud exducer portion. The impeller shroud assembly further includes a clearance control device connected to the shroud exducer portion of the impeller shroud proximate the outer radial end. The clearance control device is configured to pivot the shroud exducer portion of the impeller shroud about the pivot point between a first axial position and a second axial position.
