Zusammenfassung:An arcuate panel for a thermal control assembly includes an arcuate panel base, at least one axially extending panel header sealingly attached to a radially outwardly facing surface of the panel base, a plenum therebetween, one or more spray tubes or channels depending radially inwardly from the panel base and in fluid communication with the plenum, and radially outwardly biasing spring means mounted on or attached to the radially inwardly facing surface of the panel base. The panel may include at least one set of clockwise and counter-clockwise hinge wings attached to clockwise and counter-clockwise ends of the panel base, axial positioning means, and circumferential positioning means. The axial positioning means may include a circular row of spring clips mounted on the panel base. A hoop of arcuate panels pivotably attached by hinges may encircle a portion of a casing compressing leaf springs against rings of the casing.
