Abstract

A burner for a gas turbine power plant is constructed by machining a louver configuration having a series of slots communicating with the surrounding cooling air into the combustion chamber for providing film cooling adjacent the downstream wall of the louver, a series of apertures for preventing recirculation of the hot combustion gases into the wakes formed when the cool air passes through the slots and another series of holes and variable wall thickness to control temperature gradient in the high thermal stress zones.
