ABSTRACT:
A gas separation assembly for a gas turbine engine combustion chamber is disclosed having spaced apart partition walls which extend through an end of the combustion chamber so as to define an oxidizer chamber which communicates with a source of oxidizer. Downstream ends of the spaced apart partition walls within the combustion chamber are interconnected to a plurality of generally "V" shaped spacers oriented such that the apex of the "V" configuration faces toward the end of the combustion chamber. Downstream edges of the partition walls are notched, also in a "V" shaped configuration such that the notches extend between opposite legs of the spacers. The spacers are circumferentially spaced apart so as to define passageways which communicate with the oxidizer chamber to enable oxidizer to pass through the gas separation assembly into the combustion chamber. The notches in the downstream edges of the partition walls form a series of generally radially extending flues to facilitate heat transfer between the combustion zones by convection. The design also eliminates the hot spots of the known prior art separation assemblies.
