Abstract

A sleeve assembly for a combustion system includes a first duct including a first circumferential surface and a second duct including a second circumferential surface. The first circumferential surface radially overlaps the second circumferential surface such that the first duct and the second duct collectively define a continuous combustion chamber therein. The continuous combustion chamber is configured to receive high temperature gases flowing therethrough. The sleeve assembly further includes a wear insert removably coupled to the first circumferential surface and extending radially therefrom to engage the second circumferential surface.
