METHODS FOR POSITIONING NEIGHBORING NOZZLES OF A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

摘要

Methods for positioning neighboring nozzles 102 of a gas turbine engine 16 are provided. A method includes assembling a first nozzle assembly 200. The first nozzle assembly 200 includes a first nozzle 210 and a first nozzle support structure 220. The method further includes assembling a second nozzle assembly 202. The second nozzle assembly 202 includes a second nozzle 212 and a second nozzle support structure 222. The method further includes adjusting the first nozzle assembly 200 and the second nozzle assembly 202 such that an engineering dimension 240 between the first nozzle 210 and the second nozzle 212 is within a predetermined engineering tolerance, and joining the first nozzle support structure 220 and the second nozzle support structure 222 together.
