Heat shield for a fuel manifold and method

摘要

The manifold includes supports which slidably engage a heat shield to floatingly suspend it around the manifold. The manifold is part of a heat shield assembly inside a gas turbine engine. The assembly comprises a plurality of radially-extending supports extending from a casing of the engine to the manifold. A heat shield encloses the manifold. The heat shield has openings through which the supports pass to slidably engage the heat shield. The supports floatingly suspend the heat shield relative to the manifold.
