    Abstract: A system includes an annular track that surrounds the turbomachine. The annular track includes an upper rail portion and a lower rail portion removably coupled to one another. The system further includes a drive assembly operably coupled to the annular track. The drive assembly includes a drive chain that extends along the annular track. The system further includes a plurality of carts rotatably coupled to the annular track and connected to the drive chain such that operation of the drive assembly alters a circumferential position of the plurality of carts with respect to an axial centerline of the turbomachine. The system further includes a plurality of combustion can cradle assemblies each coupled to a respective cart of the plurality of carts. Each combustion can cradle assembly of the plurality of combustion can cradle assemblies is configured to removably couple to a combustion can of the one or more combustion cans.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for preheating fuel in a gas turbine engine are provided. In one embodiment, a system may include a gas turbine engine, a fuel line in fluid communication with the gas turbine engine, a gas turbine compartment disposed about the gas turbine engine, and a first conduit in fluid communication with the gas turbine compartment. The first conduit may include ventilation discharge air from the gas turbine compartment. The system also may include a first heat exchanger in communication with the fuel line and the first conduit. The first heat exchanger may be configured to exchange heat between the fuel and the ventilation discharge air from the gas turbine compartment.
