Combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine

Abstract:

A combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a dome and a deflector positioned adjacent to the dome. One or both of the dome and the deflector define an opening, a component axis extending through the opening, and a radial direction relative to the component axis. The combustor assembly also includes a retainer having an outer member contacting the dome, the deflector or both. The outer member of the retainer defines at least in part a retainer cavity inward of the outer member along the radial direction. The dome, the deflector, or both define a plurality of cooling holes for providing a cooling airflow from the retainer cavity to the opening.
