Patent ID: 7360987

Claim:
A method of assembling sectored elements of an annular stator of a high-pressure of a turbomachine about a longitudinal axis of said turbine, the stator comprising: an annular casing disposed about the longitudinal axis of the high-pressure turbine; a plurality of spacers that are sectored and mounted on the casing and onto which a plurality of ring sectors are secured, said ring sectors being disposed circumferentially about the longitudinal axis of the turbine so as to form a continuous circular surface encompassing the rotor blades of a turbine rotor; and a plurality of angular air flow duct sectors disposed circumferentially around the casing, and designed to discharge air onto the casing in order to enable clearance at the tips of the turbine rotor blades to be tuned; said method consisting in: defining an angular distribution pattern for distributing elements of the stator over a predetermined angular sector, said pattern being defined so as to prevent the inter-spacer zones defined between two adjacent spacers being in radial alignment with the duct inter-sector zones defined between two adjacent duct sectors; and in: repeating said distribution pattern around the entire circumference of the stator.
