Mounting an igniter in an augmenter

摘要

An augmenter includes at least one igniter (30) which provides a uniform ignition within the augmenter. The igniter is secured to an igniter housing (82) with a self-locking nut (54) and each igniter includes a biasing mechanism (60) which biases the igniter against the augmenter. Biasing the igniter against the augmenter ensures that each igniter tip (42) is maintained at a proper immersion depth within the augmenter during gas turbine engine operation. Additionally, the igniter includes an alignment support boss (70) to ensure that the igniter tip is properly aligned within the augmenter as the igniter is attached to the augmenter. <IMAGE>
