Nozzle for delivering fluid to a component

1. A system, comprising:

a support structure including a cavity surface, an aperture, and an annular channel, the cavity surface at least partially forming a boundary of a cavity, and the aperture extending partially into the support structure from the cavity surface; and

a nozzle including a mount, a neck and a head, the mount seated within the aperture, the neck connected to the mount and extending axially along a centerline away from the surface to the head, and the head configured to inject fluid out of the nozzle through a plurality of nozzle orifices in the head and into the cavity;

a first fluid passage extending within the support structure to the aperture;

a second fluid passage extending within the nozzle to the plurality of nozzle orifices, the second fluid passage fluidly coupled with the first fluid passage; and

a retainer configured to retain the mount within the aperture, the retainer projecting radially into the annular channel.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a seal element sealingly engaged with and disposed between the support structure and the mount.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an annular seal element sealingly engaged with and disposed axially between an annular surface of the support structure and an annular surface of the mount, wherein the annular surface of the support structure partially forms a boundary of the aperture.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a seal element sealingly disposed axially between an annular surface of the support structure and an annular surface of the mount, wherein the annular surface of the support structure partially forms a boundary of the aperture, and wherein the seal element radially engages the support structure and the nozzle.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the retainer

is a retainer ring; and

the retainer ring axially engages the mount.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein

the aperture includes a bore and a counterbore;

the mount includes a tubular coupler and an annular mounting flange;

the tubular coupler projects axially into the bore to a distal end of the nozzle; and

the annular mounting flange is seated within the counterbore.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the tubular coupler includes a conical surface that engages the support structure.

8. The system of claim 6 , further comprising a ring seal sealingly engaged and disposed axially between the annular mounting flange and the support structure, wherein the tubular coupler projects axially through the ring seal and into the bore.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein

the aperture further includes a slot; and

the mount further includes a tab that projects radially out from the annular mounting flange and is seated within the slot.

10. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a turbine engine component in the cavity, wherein the nozzle comprises a lubricant nozzle, and wherein the nozzle is configured to direct lubricant onto the turbine engine component.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein

the head is configured to direct a first portion of the fluid out of the nozzle through a first of the plurality of orifices in a first direction; and

the head is configured to direct a second portion of the fluid out of the nozzle through a second of the plurality of orifices in a second direction that is different from the first direction.

12. A system for a gas turbine engine, comprising:

a support structure including a first surface and an aperture, the aperture extending partially into the support structure from the first surface, and the aperture including a bore and a counterbore;

a nozzle including a tubular mount, a tubular neck and a head, the mount including a tubular coupler and an annular mounting flange, the tubular coupler projecting axially along a centerline into the bore to a distal end of the nozzle, the annular mounting flange seated within the counterbore, and the tubular neck connected axially between the annular mounting flange and the head;

a seal ring disposed axially between the annular mounting flange and an annular surface of the support structure; and

a retainer within the counterbore and configured to retain the mount within the aperture;

wherein a first fluid passage extends within the support structure to the aperture; and

wherein a second fluid passage extends within the nozzle to a plurality of nozzle orifices in the head, and is fluidly coupled with the first fluid passage.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein

the first surface at least partially forms a boundary of a cavity; and

the head is configured to inject lubricant out of the nozzle and into the cavity.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the retainer

is a retainer ring;

axially engages the annular mounting flange; and

is seated within an annular channel that extends radially into the support structure.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the tubular coupler includes a conical surface that engages the support structure.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein

the aperture further includes a slot; and

the mount further includes a tab that projects radially out from the annular mounting flange and is seated within the slot.
