Abstract:
A wall assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This wall assembly includes a support shell with a contoured region; and a multiple of liner panels mounted to the support shell. At least one of the multiple of liner panels includes an end rail. The contoured region is deformable to selectively contact at least a portion of the end rail. A method of assembling a wall assembly within a gas turbine engine is also provided. This method includes locating a stud that extends from a cold side of a liner panel through a support shell; and attaching a fastener onto the stud to at least partially close a gap defined between the panel and shell.
Abstract:
A liner panel within a gas turbine engine includes a perimeter rail that defines a first height from a cold side. The liner panel also includes an intermediate rail that defines a second height from the cold side, where the second height is less than the first height.
Abstract:
A liner panel is provided for use in a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The liner panel includes a first liner panel side edge between a liner panel aft edge and a liner panel forward edge. The liner panel also includes a second liner panel side edge between the liner panel aft edge and the liner panel forward edge. The first and the second liner panel side edges are non-perpendicular to the liner panel forward and aft edge edges.
Abstract:
A bulkhead assembly for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a bulkhead support shell with a multiple of swirler openings. Each of the multiple of swirler openings is surrounded by a first multiple of cooling impingement passages that define an angle α with respect to a hot side of the bulkhead support shell and a second multiple of cooling impingement passages that define an angle &bgr; with respect to the hot side of the bulkhead support shell. The angle α is different than the angle &bgr;.
