Abstract:
A method of reconditioning and fabricating turbine components is provided. In one embodiment, the method is performed on a fuel nozzle assembly of a gas turbine, and comprises providing a pre-assembled fuel nozzle assembly having a base, a body extending from the base to a fuel nozzle tip, an inner assembly, and an outer assembly. The method further comprises removing at least a portion of the fuel nozzle tip and the inner assembly, coupling and joining a replacement inner assembly to the base, and coupling and joining a replacement fuel nozzle tip to the replacement inner assembly and to the outer assembly to provide a reconditioned fuel nozzle.
Abstract:
A fuel nozzle assembly for a gas turbine and a method of reconditioning fuel nozzle assemblies is provided. The method is performed on a fuel nozzle assembly (100) of a gas turbine, and comprises providing a pre-assembled fuel nozzle assembly (100) having a base (102), a body (104) extending from the base (102) to a fuel nozzle tip (106), an inner assembly (110), and an outer assembly (112). The method further comprises removing at least a portion of the fuel nozzle tip (106) and the inner assembly (110), coupling and joining a replacement inner assembly (152) to the base (102), and coupling and joining a replacement fuel nozzle tip (154) to the replacement inner assembly (152) and to the outer assembly (112) to provide a reconditioned fuel nozzle.
