FUEL NOZZLE CARTRIDGE AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

A gas turbine system is provided. The gas turbine system includes a combustor assembly. At least one liquid fuel cartridge in the combustor assembly includes at least one flexible tube section coupled within a housing. An elongated inner tube section is coupled in fluid communication with the at least one flexible tube section and oriented within an elongated outer tube extending from the housing. At least one support member oriented within and coupled to an inner surface of the elongated outer tube substantially precludes transverse movement of the elongated inner tube section within the elongated outer tube.

1. A method for assembling a liquid fuel cartridge for use in a gas turbine engine, said method comprising:
orienting at least one flexible tube section within a housing; coupling the at least one flexible tube section to an elongated inner tube section oriented within an elongated outer tube extending from the housing; and supporting the elongated inner tube section by at least one support member oriented within and coupled to an inner surface of the elongated outer tube, such that the at least one support member substantially precludes transverse movement of the elongated inner tube section within the elongated outer tube, and such that the elongated inner tube section is axially movable relative to the at least one support member.
