Abstract
Improved performance in a hot gas generator 10 is achieved by providing a pair of hemispherical liners 22 and 24 loosely positioned within an interior wall 14 of a vessel 12 so as to be disposed above a combustion chamber 20 therein. The hemispherical liners 22 and 24 normally have a groove 26 at an interface therebetween and are formed of a material adapted to thermally expand under heat. Specifically, the hemispherical liners 22 and 24 expand to close the groove 26 at the interface in a manner producing relatively little stress thereon.
