Abstract
A heating or cooling apparatus for a turbo-machine housing collar that adjusts the diameter of the housing using chambers that are arcs of a circle through which gas is blown onto the ribs of the housing. The gas circulates in a counterflow direction or in alternate directions for adjacent chambers in order to equalize the blowing conditions at every paint of the ribs.
