Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a combustion chamber and in particular to a gas turbine engine combustion chamber.
  • One known type of combustion chamber comprises one or more walls each of which comprises a double, or dual, wall structure.
  • a dual wall structure comprises an annular outer wall and an annular inner wall spaced radially from the annular outer wall by rails to define a chamber.
  • the annular outer wall has a plurality of impingement apertures to supply coolant into the chamber and the annular inner wall has a plurality of effusion apertures to supply coolant from the chamber over an inner surface of the annular inner wall to provide a film of coolant on the inner surface of the annular inner wall.
  • the annular inner wall comprises a plurality of rows of circumferentially arranged tiles. These rows of tiles produce a discontinuity, or a number of discontinuities, in the inner surface of the annular inner wall that has a detrimental effect on the film of coolant on the inner surface of the annular inner wall.
  • the downstream ends of the tiles have lips which extend axially towards but are spaced from the upstream ends of the adjacent row of tiles and the annular outer wall has one or more rows of apertures to direct coolant onto the lips and then to assist in reforming a film of coolant over the inner surface of the upstream ends of the adjacent row of tiles.
  • the row or rows of apertures in the annular outer wall which direct coolant onto the lips of the tiles reduce the strength of the annular outer wall and it is possible for cracks to initiate and propagate circumferentially around the annular outer wall.
  • the problem is exacerbated by the rails at the downstream ends of the tiles which are positioned close to the row of rows of apertures in the annular outer wall because the rails conduct heat from the tiles to the annular outer wall.
  • the clamping loads due to the fasteners produces perfect conduction of heat from the tiles through the rails to the annular outer wall and hence increasing the stress in the annular outer wall adjacent the row or rows of apertures in the annular outer wall which direct coolant onto the lips of the tiles.
  • the annular outer wall may have a bend and the bend may be subject to significant thermal and vibrational stresses. If the bend is positioned close to the row or rows of apertures in the annular outer wall then this may further increase the stress in the annular outer wall adjacent the row or rows of apertures in the annular outer wall which direct coolant onto the lips of the tiles.
