Abstract
A transition duct system () for delivering hot-temperature gases from a plurality of combustors in a combustion turbine engine is provided. The system includes an exit piece () for each combustor. The exit piece may include a straight path segment () and an arcuate connecting segment (). A respective straight metal liner () and an arcuate metal liner () may be each inwardly disposed onto a metal outer shell () along the straight path segment and the arcuate connecting segment () of the exit piece. Structural arrangements are provided to securely attach the respective liners in the presence of substantial flow path pressurization. Cost-effective serviceability of the transition duct systems is realizable since the liners can be readily removed and replaced as needed.
