Slot cooled combustor liner
First Claim
1. A gas turbine combustor liner comprising:
- a first annular panel section having a forward end and an aft end;
a second annular panel section having a forward end and an aft end, said second panel section being joined at its forward end to said aft end of said first panel section;
a group of dilution holes located in said first panel section, at least one of said dilution holes having a larger diameter than other ones of said dilution holes, wherein each one of said dilution holes defines an aftmost edge and all of said aftmost edges are axially aligned;
a third annular panel section having a forward end and an aft end, said third panel section being joined at its forward end to said aft end of said second panel section; and
a second group of dilution holes located in said second panel section, at least one of said second dilution holes having a larger diameter than other ones of said second dilution holes, wherein each one of said second dilution holes defines an aftmost edge and all of said aftmost edges of said second dilution holes are axially aligned.

Abstract
A combustor liner for use in a gas turbine engine includes a first annular panel section having a forward end, an aft end and a first cooling nugget located at the forward end thereof, and a second annular panel section having a forward end, an aft end and a second cooling nugget located at the forward end thereof. The second panel section is joined at its forward end to the aft end of the first panel section. A first row of cooling holes is located in the first cooling nugget, and a second row of cooling holes is located in the second cooling nugget. A group of dilution holes is located in the first panel section. The dilution holes are located at the aft end of the first panel section, immediately upstream of the second cooling nugget. Furthermore, each one of the dilution holes defines an aftmost edge, and all of the aftmost edges are axially aligned, even if the dilution holes have different hole diameters.
