Slip joint clamps are installed against guide ears of diffusers at jet pump slip joints. Clamps may prevent vibration and/or movement in the slip joint while not being rigidly attached to the diffuser. Clamps include a compression flipper pressing against a guide ear of the diffuser in a substantially radial direction, a biasing member between the compression member and guide ear that presses the flipper against the guide ear, and supporting structures that hold the flipper and biasing member to the inlet mixer about the guide ear. Systems of slip joint clamps are installed against several guide ears of a single diffuser. Each clamp may radially stabilize the diffuser and inlet mixer while permitting upward relative movement of the inlet mixer. Placement and tensioning of clamps in such systems may be varied so as to prevent or reduce vibrations and/or oscillations between an inlet mixer and diffuser. |
