Abstract
An assembly for a turbine engine includes a combustor bulkhead, a swirler and a mounting strap. The swirler includes a mounting lug and a tubular swirler body that extends along an axis. The mounting lug projects radially out from the swirler body. The mounting strap is attached to the combustor bulkhead. The mounting lug is axially restrained between the combustor bulkhead and the mounting strap.
Claims19
An assembly for a turbine engine, comprising:
- a combustor bulkhead;
- a swirler including a mounting lug and a tubular swirler body extending along an axis, the mounting lug projecting radially out from the swirler body;
- and
- a mounting strap attached to the combustor bulkhead, wherein the mounting lug is axially restrained between the combustor bulkhead and the mounting strap;
- wherein the mounting strap fixedly secures the swirler to the combustor bulkhead such that the tubular swirler body does not move in any direction relative to the combustor bulkhead.
