Abstract:
A combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a combustor shell, a TOBI, a case, and a joint for securing the combustor shell, TOBI and case together. The joint has a combustor flange integral to the combustor shell. A TOBI flange is integral to the TOBI and a case flange is integral to the case. The combustor flange, the TOBI flange and the case flange are secured together.
Abstract:
A combustor liner grommet is disclosed. The grommet may include a peripheral wall defining a hole in a combustor liner and further including at least one cooling air flow channel. The cooling air flow channel in the grommet wall may be a slot or a hole. The channel may increase cooling flow to the grommet and the combustor liner around the grommet to prevent cracking from heat stress.
