Abstract
A horizontally split flow machine housing, particularly for a radial compressor, has a top housing part and a bottom housing part and a top stator part which is received in the top housing part and is prevented from falling out in that the top stator part is supported from the top by stator stops on housing stops. At least one housing stop is fastened to the top housing part in such a way that it can be adjusted toward a stator stop during assembly and is supported at the top housing part below a point of contact between the stator stop and housing stop.

A flow machine housing configured as a horizontally split flow machine housing, comprising:
- a top housing part, the top housing part comprising at least two housing stops;
- a bottom housing part configured to mate with the top housing part;
- and
- a top stator part configured to be received in the top housing part, the top stator part comprising at least two stator stops configured to mate with respective housing stops to fix the top stator part to the top housing part
- wherein at least one of the two housing stops is adjustably fastened to the top housing part such that it is adjustable toward a respective stator stop and is supported at the top housing part below a point of contact between the stator stop and housing stop.
A method for assembling a flow machine housing comprising:
- receiving a top stator part having a stator stop in a top housing part, the top housing part having at least one adjustable housing stop;
- adjusting the at least one housing stop toward the stator stop;
- and
- connecting the top housing part and bottom housing part to one another.
