Abstract
A combustion chamber assembly includes a combustion chamber casing, a combustion chamber, a plurality of fuel injectors and respective seals. The axis of each fuel injector head is arranged at an angle to the axis of the combustion chamber casing and parallel to the center line of the combustion chamber. Each seal is positioned between a fuel injector head and an aperture in an upstream wall of the combustion chamber. Each seal has an aperture extending through the seal which is arranged parallel to the axis of the combustion chamber casing or the flange of the fuel injector. Each fuel injector head has a part spherical surface located in a seal. The assembly provides a clearance required to engage, or disengage, a fuel injector head while minimizing the amount of material removed from the between the apertures in the upstream wall of the combustion chamber.
