Cross fire tube retention system for a gas turbine engine

摘要

A cross fire retention system (26) for a gas turbine engine includes a retention system housing (28) operably coupled to a radially outer surface (24) of a flow sleeve (14) surrounding a combustion chamber, wherein the retention system housing includes a central aperture (32) relatively aligned with a flow sleeve channel (20) and is configured to receive a cross fire tube (22). Also included is a locking element (36) extending through a side aperture (38) of the retention system housing and having a first end (40) configured to fittingly engage a first portion (42) of an outer surface (44) of the cross fire tube. Further included is a resilient member (52) disposed within the retention system housing and configured to engage a second portion (54) of the outer surface of the cross fire tube.
