  • Method and apparatus for enhancing heat transfer in a combustor liner for a gas turbine
    Patent number: 6546730
    Abstract: A combustor liner is provided on its backside cooling surface with a braze alloy coating and cooling enhancement material, preferably metallic particles to enhance the heat transfer between the liner and the cooling medium. The surface area of the backside coated area is increased substantially by the coating and particles in relation to the uncoated surface areas. Consequently, the life of the liner is extended.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 12, 2002
    Date of Patent: April 15, 2003
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Robert Alan Johnson, Anthony Joseph Loprinzo, Ching-Pang Lee, Nesim Abuaf, Wayne Charles Hasz, Harmon Lindsay Morton
