Abstract
A replaceable section () of force-cooling tubing assembly () for attachment to a transition piece () of a gas turbine is comprised of two ends () fashioned for attachment by removable unions () to adjoining parts of a force-cooling tubing assembly. When assembled thereto to complete the assembly, the replaceable sectionprovides for fluid communication between a manifold () and the transition piece () for either the supply or return of cooling fluid. A transition piece () in combination with two such assemblies, one a supply assembly (), the other a return assembly (), comprises a field-installable transition piece assembly () that provides for rapid and easy installation. The features of the replaceable section () include a relatively inflexible bracing zone such as a bracing member () having a support structure such as a lateral plate () that extends to the transition piece (), a formed tubing bend () typically forming a U-bend, and optionally a second flexible component comprised of an inline flexible coupling ().
