Combustor for gas turbine engine including plurality of projections extending toward a compressed air chamber

1. A combustor configured to be placed in a compressed air chamber of a gas turbine engine and formed around an axial line to define a combustion chamber for generating combusted gas therein, the combustor including a liner having a liner outer surface facing the compressed air chamber and a liner inner surface facing the combustion chamber,

wherein the liner is provided with a projection region provided with a plurality of projections each projecting toward the compressed air chamber from the liner outer surface and having a vertical wall portion extending substantially orthogonally to a flow direction of compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber, and a plurality of cooling holes passed through the liner from the liner outer surface to the liner inner surface such that an end of each cooling hole on a side of the compressed air chamber is more downstream than an end of each cooling hole on a side of the combustion chamber with respect to the flow direction of the compressed air in the compressed air chamber, at least a part of the plurality of cooling holes being formed in the projection region,

wherein each projection is provided with a parallel wall portion extending from the vertical wall portion to a downstream side with respect to the flow direction of the compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber in parallel with the liner outer surface, and an inclined wall portion extending from a downstream end of the parallel wall portion to the liner outer surface in an inclined direction with respect to the flow direction of the compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber,

wherein each cooling hole is inclined so as to approach the liner outer surface toward the downstream side with respect to the flow direction of the compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber, the end of each cooling hole on the side of the compressed air chamber opens at the inclined wall portion, and the end of each cooling hole on the side of the combustion chamber reaches more upstream than the vertical wall portion with respect to the flow direction of the compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber,

wherein each cooling hole follows a linear path from the end of the cooling hole on the side of the compressed air chamber to the end of the cooling hole on the side of the combustion chamber.

2. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein each projection is formed as a ridge extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the flow direction of the compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber.

3. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein each cooling hole extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to a surface of the inclined wall portion.

4. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein each cooling hole is formed so that an extension line thereof does not interfere with a projection adjacent on the downstream side with respect to the flow direction of the compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber.

5. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the projections is provided with a notch corresponding to an extension line of a cooling hole immediately upstream of the at least one projection with respect to the flow direction of the compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber.

6. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cooling holes is arranged so as to align in a circumferential direction of the liner.

7. The combustor according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of cooling holes is arranged so as to correspond to the plurality of projections.

8. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of projections is provided at a predetermined interval with respect to the flow direction of the compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber, and

the end of each cooling hole on the side of the combustion chamber terminates downstream, with respect to the flow direction of the compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber, of the inclined wall portion of an adjacent upstream projection with respect to the flow direction of the compressed air flowing in the compressed air chamber.
