  • Combustor liner construction
    Patent number: 4414816
    Abstract: A combustor liner is fabricated from a plurality of individual segments each containing counter/parallel Finwall material and are arranged circumferentially and axially to define the combustion zone. Each segment is supported by a hook and ring construction to an opened lattice frame with sufficient tolerance between the hook and ring to permit thermal expansion with a minimal of induced stresses.

  • Combustor liner construction
    Patent number: 4361010
    Abstract: This invention relates to an improved Finwall combustor liner that includes fabricating the liner in axially spaced panels of Finwall material and introducing the cooling air in each of said panels at discrete locations intermediate the ends thereof so as to achieve a parallel and counter flow for attaining substantially reduced axial and radial temperature gradient over the panels, with an overall temperature reduction of the entire liner.
