Zusammenfassung:A method for assembling a rotary machine includes providing a first rotatable element. The method also includes coupling a second rotatable element to the first rotatable element. The first rotatable element and the second rotatable element at least partially define a cavity therein and at least one conduit extending substantially axially therebetween. Further, the method includes coupling a purge device including at least one radial channel defined therein and extending to the first rotatable element and to the second rotatable element such that the at least one radial channel is coupled in flow communication with the cavity and with the at least one axial conduit.
