COMBUSTOR WITH DILUTION HOLES
A combustor of an aircraft engine comprises a liner defining a primary and a dilution zone having a hot surface exposed to a flow of combustion gases traveling from the primary zone downstream to the dilution zone and a cold surface. Dilution holes extending through the liner from the cold to the hot surface delimit the primary from the dilution zone. Effusion holes extending through the liner from the cold to the hot surface direct cooling air into the dilution zone. Two or more rows of effusion holes positioned within three dilution hole diameters downstream of the dilution holes are oriented relative to the liner to direct the cooling air in a cooling direction that is at least one of normal to the direction of the flow of gases passing adjacent the effusion holes, and against the direction of the flow of gases passing adjacent the effusion holes.
COOLING HOLE WITH SHAPED METER
A gas turbine engine component having a cooling passage includes a first wall defining an inlet of the cooling passage, a second wall generally opposite the first wall and defining an outlet of the cooling passage, a metering section extending downstream from the inlet, and a diffusing section extending from the metering section to the outlet. The metering section includes an upstream side and a downstream side generally opposite the upstream side. At least one of the upstream and downstream sides includes a first passage wall and a second passage wall where the first and second passage walls intersect to form a V-shape.
EXTENDED BULKHEAD PANEL
A combustor may comprise an outer combustor panel and an inner combustor panel radially inward of the outer combustor panel. A bulkhead panel may extend radially between the outer combustor panel and the inner combustor panel. An outer spacer may be located between an outer flange of the bulkhead panel and the outer combustor panel. An inner spacer may be located between an inner flange of the bulkhead panel and the inner combustor panel.
COMBUSTOR FUEL NOZZLE ASSEMBLY
A turbine engine can include a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement. A combustor in the combustion section can include a combustion chamber, a fuel supply fluidly coupled to the combustion chamber, and a fuel nozzle assembly. The fuel nozzle assembly can include an air flow passage and a fuel flow passage.
Combustor cooling panel stud
A combustor liner for a gas turbine engine, the combustor liner including a panel configured to at least partially define a combustion chamber. The combustor liner further includes a shell configured to mount to the panel and form a gap between the panel and the shell. The panel includes a stud and a plurality of a stand-off pins proximate to the stud defining a cavity therebetween. The shell includes a plurality of angled impingement holes located away from the cavity but extending through the shell at an orientation such that cooling air passing through the angled impingement holes is directed towards the cavity between adjacent stand-off pins and at an acute angle relative to the stud.
COMBUSTOR WITH DILUTION OPENINGS
A gas turbine engine including a compressor section and a combustion section in serial flow arrangement along an engine centerline, the combustion section having a combustor liner, a dome wall coupled to the combustor liner, and a dome inlet located in the dome wall, a fuel injector fluidly coupled to the dome inlet, a combustion chamber fluidly coupled to the fuel injector and defined at least in part by the combustor liner and the dome wall, and at least one set of dilution openings located in the dome wall and fluidly coupled to the combustion chamber.
Combustor, a tile holder and a tile
A combustor including a combustor lining, a tile including a recess at an end defining a receiving surface, and a tile holder. The tile holder includes an elongate retaining head having a combustor surface configured to face a combustion chamber of a combustor, and a securing portion extending from the head, the securing portion being configured to secure the head to a combustor lining. The retaining head extends laterally with respect to an elongate direction of the retaining head to define a retaining surface laterally adjacent to the securing portion; and the retaining surface cooperates with the receiving surface of the tile to retain the tile against the combustor lining. There is also disclosed a tile holder and a tile.
Extended bulkhead panel
A combustor may comprise an outer combustor panel and an inner combustor panel radially inward of the outer combustor panel. A bulkhead panel may extend radially between the outer combustor panel and the inner combustor panel. An outer spacer may be located between an outer flange of the bulkhead panel and the outer combustor panel. An inner spacer may be located between an inner flange of the bulkhead panel and the inner combustor panel.
Plug resistant effusion holes for gas turbine engine
A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a liner having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and defining a plurality of effusion cooling holes. At least one of the effusion cooling holes includes an inlet section and a converging section downstream of the inlet section. The at least one of the effusion cooling holes includes a metering section downstream of the converging section. The at least one of the effusion cooling holes includes an outlet section downstream of the metering section. The outlet section is proximate to the second surface. The inlet section, the converging section, the metering section and the outlet section extend along a longitudinal axis, with the inlet section asymmetrical relative to the longitudinal axis and the metering section symmetrical relative to the longitudinal axis.
COATING OCCLUSION RESISTANT EFFUSION COOLING HOLES FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE
A coating occlusion resistant effusion cooling hole to form a film of a cooling fluid on a surface of a wall. The cooling hole extends along a longitudinal axis. The cooling hole includes an inlet section defined so as to be spaced apart from the surface. The inlet section is to receive the cooling fluid. The cooling hole includes a metering section fluidly coupled downstream of the inlet section. The cooling hole includes an outlet section fluidly coupled downstream of the metering section. The outlet section includes an overhang portion, a recessed portion, a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first sidewall and the second sidewall interconnect the overhang portion with the recessed portion along a portion of the outlet section, and the first sidewall and the second sidewall converge and diverge in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis.
