Patent attributes
A fuel injection assembly includes a fuel injector having end walls spaced apart from one another and side walls extending between the end walls. The end walls and the side walls collectively define a first opening for passage of air. At least one fuel injection member is disposed within the first opening and extends axially between the end walls. The fuel injector terminates at a radially inner surface. A boss that is fixedly connected to the combustion liner and extends radially through the cooling flow annulus to a flange portion positioned at the outer sleeve. The boss defines a second opening that provides for fluid communication between the fuel injector and the second combustion zone. The radially inner surface of the fuel injector is sealingly connected to the flange portion of the boss such that the first opening aligns with the second opening.
