Abstract:
A sleeve assembly for a combustion system includes a first duct including a first circumferential surface and a second duct including a second circumferential surface. The first circumferential surface radially overlaps the second circumferential surface such that the first duct and the second duct collectively define a continuous combustion chamber therein. The continuous combustion chamber is configured to receive high temperature gases flowing therethrough. The sleeve assembly further includes a wear insert removably coupled to the first circumferential surface and extending radially therefrom to engage the second circumferential surface.
Abstract:
A repair patch for use with a turbine seal includes a shim having a first side and an opposite second side and a cloth seal having a first section and a second section. The cloth seal is coupled to the shim, such that the cloth seal is folded over a radial edge of the shim such that the first section substantially covers the first side and the second section substantially covers the second side. The second section includes an extension section that extends from the second side such that at least a portion of the cloth seal overlaps at least a portion of the turbine seal when coupled thereto.
Abstract:
A system, including a combustor cap assembly, including a first plate configured to divide a combustion chamber from a head end chamber of a combustor, a first sleeve disposed about the first plate, and a first stiffening rib coupled to the combustor cap assembly, wherein the combustor cap assembly is configured to mount in a combustor, and the first stiffening rib is configured to damp vibration caused by combustion dynamics in the combustor.
Abstract:
An interface assembly for a combustor includes an interface housing having a channel defined by a forward wall and at least one aft wall segment, the aft wall segment operatively coupled to an aft flange of a flow sleeve. Also included is a piston ring fittingly disposed in the channel.
Abstract:
The present application provides a combustor for use with a gas turbine engine. The combustor may include a liner and a flow sleeve surrounding the liner with the liner and the flow sleeve defining a flow path therebetween. A liner retaining feature extends into the flow path to retain the liner within the flow sleeve. The liner retaining feature may include a bolt therein.
Abstract:
An aspect of the invention provides for a wear pad system for a turbine combustion system including a transition piece (TP) forward ring, an impingement sleeve substantially surrounding the TP forward ring, and a gap between the TP forward ring and the impingement sleeve, the wear pad system comprising: a wear pad extending through a hole in the impingement sleeve and through the gap to contact the TP forward ring, the wear pad having a radially outer portion and a radially inner portion, the radially outer portion in contact with a radially outer surface of the impingement sleeve and the radially inner portion in contact with a radially outer surface of the TP forward ring.
