A method for forming a thermally isolating gas turbine housing from the significantly high temperatures associated with the combustion gases flowing through the housing. A floating liner is positioned within the turbine housing with an outer baffle arranged about the floating liner and an inner baffle arranged within the floating liner. The inner and outer baffles are welled or brazed to the floating liner assembly to form a unitary assembly creating a single, continuous cooling passageway within the housing for collecting heat from adjacent the surfaces of the floating liner and expelling the heat into the combustion exhaust stream.

Method of forming a thermally isolated gas turbine engine housing

An apparatus and system for thermally isolating a gas turbine housing from the significantly high temperatures associated with the combustion gases flowing through the housing. A floating liner is assembled within the housing with an outer baffle surrounding the floating liner and an inner baffle disposed within the floating liner. The floating liner creates a thermally isolated device to cover and protect the housing from high temperature. Openings formed in the outer baffle, floating liner and inner baffle create a single, continuous cooling passageway within the housing for collecting heat from adjacent the surfaces of the floating liner and expelling the heat into the combustion exhaust stream.
