SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING A TURBINE SHROUD

摘要

In one aspect the present subject matter is directed to a system for supporting a turbine shroud. The system includes a shroud support at least partially defining a first piston sleeve and a piston assembly having a first piston head disposed within the first piston sleeve and a second piston head coupled to the first piston head. The first piston head is slideably engaged with an inner surface of the first piston sleeve. The second piston head is slideably engaged with an inner surface of a second piston sleeve. The system also includes a turbine shroud that is fixedly connected to the piston assembly and that extends radially inwardly from the shroud support. The piston assembly provides for radially inward and radially outward movement of the turbine shroud in response to a change in a radial force applied to a hot side surface of the turbine shroud.

1. A system for supporting a turbine shroud, the system comprising:
a shroud support, the shroud support at least partially defining a first piston sleeve therein; a piston assembly having a first piston head disposed within the first piston sleeve and a second piston head coupled to the first piston head, wherein the first piston head is slideably engaged with an inner surface of the first piston sleeve, wherein the second piston head is slideably engaged with an inner surface of a second piston sleeve; and a turbine shroud fixedly connected to the piston assembly and extending radially inwardly from the shroud support, wherein the piston assembly provides for radially inward and radially outward movement of the turbine shroud in response to a radially outward force applied to a hot side surface of the turbine shroud.
