A combustion section for a gas turbine engine including an inner casing comprising a first material defining an inner diameter of a pressure vessel and a first heat transfer coefficient. A second material is extended at least partially over an outer diameter of the first material. The second material is disposed radially between the first material and a combustor liner. The second material defines a second heat transfer coefficient less than the first heat transfer coefficient.

Deflection mitigation structure for combustion system

A clearance control apparatus for a gas turbine engine including an annular turbine case having opposed inner and outer surfaces; an annular manifold surrounding a portion of the turbine case, the manifold including: an inlet port in fluid communication with the manifold and the outer surface of the turbine case, and an exit port; and a bypass pipe having an upstream end coupled to the exit port, a downstream end coupled to a low-pressure sink, and a valve disposed between upstream and downstream ends, the valve selectively moveable between a first position which blocks flow between the upstream and downstream ends, and a second position which permits flow between the upstream and downstream ends.
