Apparatus for flanging a separating crown between concentric rings of burners in a multiple combustor

A double annular combustor having concentrically disposed inner and outer annular combustors including an inner dome having an inner portion and an outer portion (28), an outer dome having an inner portion and an outer portion (25), wherein the outer dome inner portion (25) is connected to the inner dome outer portion (28), and a substantially annular centerbody (50) disposed between the inner dome and the outer dome. The centerbody includes a plurality of structurally independent arcuate segments (51), wherein each centerbody segment is retained in position via an interference fit between a first flange (59) of such centerbody extending downstream and a hook (58) in the inner dome outer portion and/or via a clamping fit of a second flange of the centerbody extending upstream to a flange of the inner dome outer portion.
