A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes an inner liner and an outer liner circumscribing the inner liner and forming a combustion chamber therewith. The outer liner is a dual walled liner with a first wall and a second wall. A fuel igniter includes a tip portion configured to ignite an air and fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. An igniter support assembly positions the fuel igniter relative to the combustion chamber. The igniter support assembly defines a plurality of holes configured to direct cooling air toward the tip portion of the fuel igniter. The igniter support assembly includes first and second floating seals that are configured to accommodate radial and axial relative movements.

Dual walled combustors with impingement cooled igniters

A combustor for a turbine engine is provided. The combustor includes a first liner and a second liner forming a combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is configured to receive an air-fuel mixture for combustion therein and having a longitudinal axis that defines axial and radial directions. The first liner is a first dual walled liner having a first hot wall facing the combustion chamber and a first cold wall that forms a first liner cavity with the first hot wall, the first liner cavity having first and second ends. A first liner seal is configured to seal the second end of the first liner cavity and to accommodate relative movement of the first hot wall and first cold wall generally in the axial and radial directions.
