TURBINE ENGINE COMBUSTOR HAVING A COMBUSTION CHAMBER HEAT SHIELD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17867726 titled 'TURBINE ENGINE COMBUSTOR HAVING A COMBUSTION CHAMBER HEAT SHIELD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a turbine engine with three main sections: compressor, combustion, and turbine.
- The combustion section of the engine has a combustor liner that defines a combustion chamber.
- Within the combustion chamber, there are at least one fuel nozzle and at least one heat shield.
- The heat shield includes an internal air flow passage and a pin bank.
- The purpose of the heat shield is to protect the surrounding components from the high temperatures generated during combustion.
- The internal air flow passage allows cool air to flow through the heat shield, helping to dissipate heat.
- The pin bank on the heat shield further enhances heat dissipation by increasing the surface area.
- This innovation improves the overall efficiency and safety of the turbine engine by effectively managing heat and protecting critical components.
Original Abstract Submitted
A turbine engine that includes a compressor section, combustion section, and turbine section. The combustion section includes a combustor liner defining a combustion chamber. At least one fuel nozzle and at least one heat shield are located in the combustion chamber. The at least one heat shield includes an internal air flow passage and a pin bank.
