Abstract
A gas turbine engine combustor conical-flat heat shield includes an annular conical section extending upstream from and being integral with a flat section with a flat downstream facing surface which may be generally perpendicular to or canted with respect to a centerline. The flat section includes radially outer and inner edges at least one of which is circular and circumscribed about a centerline and circumferentially spaced apart clockwise and counter-clockwise radial edges having an origin on the centerline. A gas turbine engine combustor includes conical-flat heat shields in one or more circular rows arranged in a non-symmetrical or asymmetrical pattern. Two or more groups (A, B, C) of the conical-flat heat shields in the circular rows may be mounted on a domeplate and one or more of the conical-flat heat shields is different in one or more of the groups (A, B, C).
