ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine combustor structure having improved cooling effectiveness and increased life as well as a method for improving the cooling effectiveness is disclosed. The gas turbine combustor incorporates a unique flow sleeve configuration for directing air to more effectively cool a combustion liner. The flow sleeve geometry is configured to incorporate a conical aft portion having a plurality of air feed holes that reduce pressure loss to the incoming air and flow separation effects from the surrounding combustor hardware, thereby resulting in improved combustor performance.
