Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan, a compressor section, a combustor, a fan drive gear system, and a turbine section coupled to drive the fan through the gear system. The combustor includes an annular outer shell and an annular inner shell that define an annular combustion chamber. There is a bulkhead in the annular combustion chamber, and an annular heat shield is mounted on the bulkhead. The annular heat shield includes a segment that has a forward face and an aft face, a circumferential outer side and a circumferential inner side, a central orifice between the forward face and the aft face, a lip projecting from the forward face around the central orifice, a rail projecting from the forward face, and a plurality of through-holes between the rail and the lip. The rail contacts the bulkhead to define a cavity bounded by the rail, the lip, and the bulkhead.

Abstract: A pre-diffuser and exit guide vane (EGV) system for a gas turbine engine includes an annular EGV assembly containing a number of guide vanes and having an annular opening bounded by a radially inner annular sealing surface at a first radius and a radially outer annular sealing surface at a second radius. First and second seals substantially matching the first and second radii respectively join the EGV assembly to an annular pre-diffuser having an annular opening bounded by radially inner and outer annular sealing surfaces at substantially the first and second radii. The seals seal the inner sealing surface of the EGV assembly to the inner sealing surface of the pre-diffuser and the second seal seals the outer sealing surface of the EGV assembly to the outer sealing surface of the pre-diffuser, such that the EGV assembly annular opening is in fluid communication with the annular opening of the pre-diffuser.
