Abstract
The present application and the resultant patent provide a combustor for mixing a flow of air and a flow of fuel. The combustor may include an air path for the flow of air, a number of fuel injectors positioned in the air path for the flow of fuel, and a crossfire tube positioned within the air path upstream of the fuel injectors. The crossfire tube may include a number of purge holes positioned on a downstream side thereof to reduce a wake in the flow of air caused by the crossfire tube in the air path.
