ABSTRACT:
A cross-fire tube for connecting adjacent combustors in a gas turbine includes a hollow tubular body having couplings at opposite free ends thereof, the hollow tubular body having a substantially circular cross-sectional shape with a maximum diameter region about mid-way between the couplings, tapering in opposite directions to smaller diameters at the free ends. A plurality of purge holes are located in the maximum diameter region.
