IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO GAS TURBINE ENGINES

摘要

A gas turbine engine includes a number of high-temperature modules, each of which includes a combustion unit and a transition duct. The modules are secured to the engine by means of a displacement mechanism, which enables rapid and easy access to the module and adjacent inner parts of the engine. The displacement mechanism is preferably a pivot arrangement, by means of which the module is rotatably attached to the engine frame. Preferably, the module also includes a stator blading, which is attached to the end of the transition
