Abstract
An apparatus for providing improved cooling to a combustion liner of a gas turbine combustor is provided. A plurality of flow deflectors is secured to a flow sleeve in order to improve the flow of impingement air from a flow sleeve to the combustion liner outer surface, such that the amount of impingement air being swept away by a cross flow of cooling air is reduced.
