Abstract

The can combustion chamber includes a casing housing a plurality of cans. Each can includes a wall and a perforated cooling liner around the wall. Cooling liners of adjacent cans have staggered perforations.

Claims (6)

1. A can combustion chamber, comprising:

a casing housing a plurality of can combustors, each can combustor including:

a combustor wall; and

a cooling liner around the combustor wall, the cooling liner having a wall including a plurality of perforations, the cooling liner wall facing a wall of a cooling liner of an adjacent can combustor of the plurality of can combustors, the plurality of perforations of the cooling liners of different can combustors of the plurality of can combustors have equal patterns and being axially and perimetrally staggered so that none of the plurality of perforations are aligned with any of a plurality of perforations of the wall of the cooling liner of the adjacent can combustor wherein each can combustor includes a longitudinal axis and a longitudinal plane passing through the longitudinal axis, wherein the plurality of perforations of each can combustor are non-symmetric with respect to the respective longitudinal plane and the casing has a longitudinal axis, wherein the longitudinal plane of each can combustor passes through the longitudinal axis of the casing and the perforations of each liner project on the liners of adjacent can combustors perpendicularly to a plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the casing and between the two adjacent can combustors.

2. The can combustion chamber of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of perforations of the adjacent can combustors are staggered over a whole length of the adjacent can combustors.

3. The can combustion chamber of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of perforations are arranged on each can combustor proximal an outlet of the can combustors.
