Patent ID: 10539328

Abstract:
A nozzle guide support device, that supports a nozzle guide of a fuel nozzle on an open flange part encircling a fuel supply hole of a combustor of a gas turbine engine, is formed by fixing a cap that supports the nozzle guide in a floating state to the open flange part by means of a rivet. Rotation of the nozzle guide relative to the open flange part is restricted by engagement between a recess portion of the nozzle guide and a spacer fitted to the rivet. Accordingly, not only is it possible to cut production time and production cost compared with a case in which the nozzle guide support device is fixed by welding or brazing, but it is also possible to suppress unlimited rotation of the fuel nozzle guide while enabling the fuel nozzle guide to float in a radial direction and a axial direction.
