Abstract
A combustor for a gas turbine includes a first combustor component and a second combustor component. The second combustor component is at least partially insertable into the first combustor component, and the first combustor component and second combustor component define a combustion fluid pathway. A combustor seal is located between the first combustor component and the second combustor component. The combustor seal defines at least one inner cooling pathway between the combustor seal and the second combustor component and at least one outer cooling pathway between the combustor seal and the first combustor component for cooling the first combustor component and second combustor component. A method for cooling a first combustor component and a second combustor component is also disclosed.
