  • Fluid transfer assembly for rotational equipment
    Patent number: 11725529
    Abstract: An inner structure is within an outer structure. A shield mount of a shield is attached to the outer structure. A sleeve of the shield extends from the shield mount through an aperture in the outer structure to a distal end of the shield. The sleeve is mated with the port at the distal end through a slip joint interface where a cylindrical sleeve surface of the sleeve contacts a cylindrical port surface of a port of the inner structure. The fluid transfer tube extends from an inner tube end through a bore of the shield and at least into the port to an outer tube end. An inner coupling is disposed at the inner tube end and mated with the inner structure through a cone seal interface. An outer coupling is disposed at the outer tube end and attached to the outer structure.
