  • Publication number: 20250102146
    Abstract: An assembly for a combustor for a gas turbine engine, including: a plurality of heat shield panels attached to at least one combustor liner, each one of the plurality of heat shield panels including a panel portion and a first forward rail and a second rearward rail each extending from an outer surface of the panel portion, the panel portion including an inner surface opposite of the outer surface, the panel portion also includes a forward end and a rearward end, the forward end of the panel portion is axially forward of the rearward end of an adjacent heat shield panel of the plurality of heat shield panels such that a gap is defined between the outer surface of the panel portion of one heat shield panel of the plurality of heat shield panels and an inner surface of the panel portion of an adjacent heat shield panel of the plurality of heat shield panels, the panel portion also includes a plurality of apertures extending from the outer surface to the inner surface; and a plurality of cooling pins extending u

  • Patent number: 12259133
    Abstract: A combustor wall includes a panel, a boss, a wall aperture and multiple cooling apertures. The panel extends axially along and circumferentially about an axial centerline. The panel extends radially between a first panel surface and a second panel surface. The first panel surface forms a peripheral boundary of a combustion chamber. The boss projects out from the second panel surface. The boss extends circumferentially around and forms an outer peripheral boundary of the wall aperture. The wall aperture extends along a wall aperture centerline through the combustor wall to the first panel surface. The cooling apertures are arranged circumferentially about the wall aperture. Each of the cooling apertures extends along a cooling aperture centerline through the panel and/or the boss to the wall aperture. The cooling aperture centerline of a first of the cooling apertures is angularly offset from the wall aperture centerline by a first acute angle.

  • Patent number: 12228076
    Abstract: A combustor panel is disclosed herein. The combustor panel includes a top side, a bottom side opposite the top side, a feature coupled to the top side and extending orthogonally away from the top side, the feature defining a first space on the bottom side beneath the feature, a first plurality of cooling holes extending in a first direction from the top side to the bottom side, a second plurality of cooling holes extending in a second direction from the top side to the bottom side, the second direction being rotated about 1° to about 60° counter-clockwise from the first direction, and a third plurality of cooling holes extending in a third direction from the top side to the bottom side, the third direction being about rotated 1° to about 60° clockwise from the first direction.
