COMBUSTOR LINER CONCENTRIC SUPPORT AND METHOD

摘要

Systems and methods provide for reducing motion which causes wear in a combustor. The method includes attaching a first end of a combustor liner to a retainer which encircles the first end of the combustor liner; attaching the retainer to a combustor casing, where the retainer acts as a spring between the combustor liner and the combustor casing; reducing a relative motion between the combustor casing and the combustor liner along a longitudinal axis and a circumferential axis of the combustor liner by the retainer; and locating the combustor liner substantially concentrically within the combustor casing.
