  • Patent number: 8122726
    Abstract: A combustion chamber of a combustion system has a combustion space, a support structure, a support element, and a heat shield. The heat shield has at least two segments, and each segment includes a liner element facing the combustion space and has an edge region, a gap communicating with the combustion space being formed between edge regions of adjacent segments, and a retaining device. The retaining device fixes the respective liner element on the support structure via the support element and forms a flange region that fits over the edge region of the respective liner element. The retaining device forms a first cooling passage with the support element and has at least one through-opening in the flange region. A cooling gas flows through the through.opening from the first cooling passage to the edge region.

  • Patent number: 8006498
    Abstract: A combustion chamber of a combustion system comprises a combustion space, a support structure, a heat shield, and at least one through-opening. The heat shield has at least two segments, and each segment has an edge region, a gap communicating with the combustion space being formed between edge regions of adjacent segments, and a retaining device. The adjacent segments include a support element disposed in a bottom region of the gap. The retaining device fixes the respective liner element on the support structure via the respective support element. The at least one through-opening communicates with the gap so as to enable a cooling gas to flow through the through-opening. The at least one through-opening is disposed in at least one of the respective edge region and the support element at the bottom region of the gap.
