SLEEVE ASSEMBLY AND METHO OF ASSEMBLING THE SAME

A sleeve assembly (120) for a combustion system includes a first duct (148) including a first circumferential surface (168) and a second duct (146) including a second circumferential surface (163). The first circumferential surface (168) radially overlaps the second circumferential surface (163) such that the first duct (148) and the second duct (146) collectively define a continuous combustion chamber therein. The continuous combustion chamber is configured to receive high temperature gases flowing therethrough. The sleeve assembly (120) further includes a wear insert (166) removably coupled to the first circumferential surface (168) and extending radially therefrom to engage the second circumferential surface (163).
