Abstract
A skid assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a first segment having a first engine support structure and a second segment having one or more second engine support structures. The first engine support structure configured to support a gas producer group of the gas turbine engine and the one or more second engine support structures configured to support a turbine power group of the gas turbine engine. A replaceable member removably attached to the first segment and the second segment.
Claims20
A skid assembly for a gas turbine engine including a gas producer group and a turbine power group, the skid assembly comprising:
- a first segment having a first frame and a first engine support structure including
- a base member fastened to the first frame, the base member being a plate, and
- a vertical member extending substantially perpendicular from the base member to support and contact the gas producer group of the gas turbine engine;
- a second segment having a second frame and a plurality of second engine support structures fastened to the second frame, the plurality of second engine support structures configured to support the turbine power group of the gas turbine engine, each support structure of the plurality of support structures including
- a vertical stanchion and a plurality of angled stanchions joined to a common junction provided on the vertical stanchion, the vertical stanchion including a cantilever bracket disposed substantially near the common junction to support and contact the turbine power group of the gas turbine engine;
- and
- a replaceable member removably attached to the first segment and the second segment.
