  • SIDE SEAL SLOT FOR A COMBUSTION LINER
    Publication number: 20140260318
    Abstract: A side seal slot extends along a one side of an aft frame for a combustion liner of a gas turbine. The side seal slot is at least partially defined between a downstream wall and an upstream wall that extend outward from the first side of the aft frame. A first segment of the upstream wall extends from an inner portion of the aft frame towards an outer portion of the aft frame at a first outward distance from the first side. A second segment of the upstream wall extends from the first segment to the outer portion of the aft frame at a second outward distance from the first side. The second segment of the upstream wall at least partially defines a side seal guide feature to allow for axial insertion of a bottom portion of a side seal into the side seal slot.
