Abstract

A gas turbine engine combustor dome assembly includes a dome having a dome eyelet, a mounting ring fixedly joined to the dome around the eyelet, a baffle fixedly joined to the mounting ring, and a carburetor fixedly joined to the mounting ring. The carburetor is joined to the mounting ring for providing a fuel/air mixture through the mounting ring with a predetermined relationship to the baffle for controlling pattern factor. The mounting ring allows for assembly with reduced stackup clearances, and easy disassembly for servicing.
