Abstract
A combustor assembly in a gas turbine engine includes a liner defining a combustion zone, at least one fuel injector for providing fuel, and a flow sleeve. An inner surface of the flow sleeve defines an outer boundary for an air flow passageway. Upon the air reaching a head end of the combustor assembly at an end of the air flow passageway the air turns 180 degrees to flow into the combustion zone where it is burned with the fuel. The combustor assembly further includes an inlet assembly positioned radially between the liner and the flow sleeve. The inlet assembly defines an inlet to the air flow passageway and includes a plurality of overlapping conduits that are arranged such that the air entering the air flow passageway passes through radial spaces between adjacent conduits.
