System and method of limiting axial movement between components in a turbine assembly
Abstract:
A system for use in limiting axial movement between a hanger and a fairing assembly within a turbine assembly is provided. The hanger includes an inner radial hanger bend portion that defines a hook channel therein. The fairing assembly includes an outer surface, a hook member extending from the outer surface to mate with the hook channel, and a circumferential groove defined in the outer surface such that at least a portion of the hanger bend portion is positioned between the circumferential groove and the hook member. The system includes a retention member sized for insertion into the circumferential groove, wherein the retention member is configured to extend from the circumferential groove and press against the hanger bend portion to facilitate maintaining the hook member within the hook channel.
