COMBUSTOR ASSEMBLY FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

Abstract: a combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a combustor shell extending along a shell axis. the combustor shell includes a shell wall extending around the shell axis and a meter panel connected to an upstream end of the shell wall. the shell wall and the meter panel together define a combustion space therebetween. the combustor assembly further includes: a tile disposed within the combustor shell and including a tile flange portion extending radially with respect to the shell axis; a heatshield connected to the meter panel and extending at least radially towards the tile; a fastener connecting the tile flange portion to the meter panel; and a compartment thermally shielded from the combustion space. either the heatshield and the tile together form the compartment or the tile alone forms the compartment. the fastener is spaced apart from the combustion space and at least partially disposed within the compartment.
