摘要:
A combustor dome assembly for a gas turbine engine having a longitudinal centerline axis extending therethrough includes: an annular dome plate having an inner portion, an outer portion, a forward surface, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced openings formed therein, wherein a radial section defined between each of the openings includes a cooling trough formed therein; and, a free floating swirler located upstream of the dome plate in substantial alignment with each of the openings in the dome plate, the swirler including a forward portion and an aft portion. The aft portion of each swirler is configured so as to permit air flow to the cooling trough during operation of the gas turbine engine. In particular, the swirler aft portion includes a substantially annular flange extending adjacent to the forward surface of the dome plate, wherein opposing portions of a circumference for the flange adjacent the radial sections of the dome plate are substantially linear.

A combustor dome assembly for a gas turbine engine having a longitudinal centerline axis extending therethrough, including: an annular dome plate having an inner portion, an outer portion, a forward surface and a plurality of circumferentially spaced openings formed therein, wherein a radial section is defined between adjacent openings; an annular outer cowl connected to the outer portion of the dome plate; an annular inner cowl connected to the inner portion of the dome plate; and, a swirler located between the forward surface of the dome plate and the inner and outer cowls in substantial alignment with each of the openings in the dome plate. Each swirler further includes a forward portion and an aft portion and is retained by at least one tab member located upstream thereof so as to be movable in a radial and axial direction.
