Turbomachine service assembly

Abstract

A system is provided that includes a turbo machine service assembly. The turbomachine service assembly includes a cover configured to couple with a port of a turbomachine. Additionally, the turbo machine includes a vane configured to guide a fluid flow along a fluid flow path in the turbomachine. A connection system connects the vane with the cover, and blocks movement of the vane relative to the cover in an axial direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction relative to a rotational axis of the turbomachine.
