Abstract
A combustion chamber comprises an outer wall and an inner wall spaced from the outer wall. The outer wall has at least one mounting aperture extending there-through and the inner wall has threaded studs extending there-from. The threaded studs extend through the mounting apertures in the outer wall. Cooperating nuts locate on the studs and washers are positioned between the outer wall and the cooperating nuts. Each washer has a rim and a bore. The washers have one or more passages extending there-through from the rim to the bore of the washer to provide a flow of coolant through the passages in the washers, the mounting apertures in the outer wall and around the threaded studs to cool the threaded studs to increase the working life of the inner wall. Other cooling arrangements for the threaded studs are disclosed.
