INTERNALLY COOLED DILUTION HOLE BOSSES FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMBUSTORS

摘要

A cooling arrangement provides cooling around a dilution hole defined in a liner circumscribing a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine. The cooling arrangement comprises a hollow boss projecting from an outer surface of the liner about the dilution hole. The hollow boss defines an internal cavity extending circumferentially around the dilution hole. The internal cavity has an inlet in fluid flow communication with an air plenum surrounding the liner and an outlet in fluid flow communication with the combustion chamber.
