ABSTRACT:
An annular combustor of a gas turbine engine comprising a front burner device located in the inlet section of the combustor and a flame tube, featuring a longitudinal split coinciding with that of the engine. The flame tube is formed by two concentric, outer and inner, shells with curvilinear surfaces. Each one of the shells is split longitudinally into sections, the places of the split being sealed with sealing members. In addition, the combustor is provided with at least two ring-shaped longitudinally-split load-bearing members for each one of the shells. The ring-shaped load-bearing member located in the zone of the combustor inlet section is capable of longitudinal and radial movements while the load-bearing member located in the zone of the combustor outlet section is capable of only radial movement. Each one of the shell sections is coupled with a respective ring-shaped load-bearing member, such that the middle portion of the section is rigidly attached to the ring-shaped member while the ends of said section are connected to the ring-shaped member with the provision for movement in the circumferential direction.
