Abstract:
1. A turbomachine comprising: a compressor; a turbine; and a combustor operatively coupled to the compressor and the turbine, the combustor including a combustor casing having a flange, an outer surface and an inner surface that defines an internal passage, the flange extending radially outwardly from the outer surface of the casing, the combustor casing including an extruded fuel manifold mounted to the outer surface, the extruded fuel manifold including first and second walls integrally formed with a third, connecting, wall, the first wall including a first mounting element and the second wall including a second mounting element, the first mounting element extending axially along the combustor casing away from the first wall and the second mounting element extending axially along the combustor casing away from the second wall and the first mounting element, the extruded fuel manifold being joined to the outer surface of the combustor casing through the first and second mounting elements, the extruded fuel manifold defining a fluid plenum that extends radially about the combustor casing, wherein the extruded fuel manifold includes an anti-corrosive layer that is non-reactive with fuel.
