COMBUSTOR DEFLECTOR ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240247802 titled 'COMBUSTOR DEFLECTOR ASSEMBLY

The abstract describes a deflector assembly for a combustor that directs operational fluid flow. The assembly includes fastening mechanisms and cooling holes to direct cooling air around the fastening mechanisms.

• Deflector assembly for a combustor
• Designed to direct operational fluid flow
• Includes fastening mechanisms extending through the assembly
• Cooling holes extend from upstream to downstream surface
• Cooling holes located around fastening mechanisms
• Directs cooling air around fastening mechanisms at downstream surface
