Abstract
There is provided a reheat assembly 300, 300A for a gas turbine engine 10. The reheat assembly 300, 300A comprises a support duct 340 and a flameholder 370. The flameholder 370 comprises a flange portion 32 defining an inlet aperture 374 to an interior of the flameholder 370 and a boss 36 extending away from the flange portion 32 into the interior of the flameholder 370. The flameholder 370 is mounted to the support duct 340 by a fastener 38 extending through the support duct 340 into a hole 37 defined by the boss 36. The flameholder 370 is configured to receive a flow of air via the inlet aperture 374 to cool the boss 36.
Claims11
A reheat assembly for a gas turbine engine, the reheat assembly comprising:
- a jetpipe casing comprising:
- a reheat core section configured to convey a core flow of air from a reheat core inlet to a reheat core outlet, and
- a reheat bypass section configured to convey a bypass flow of air from a reheat bypass inlet to a reheat bypass outlet radially outward of the core section, the reheat core section and the reheat bypass section being radially separated at the reheat core inlet and the reheat bypass inlet by a support duct;
- and
- a flameholder comprising:
- a flange portion defining an inlet aperture to an interior of the flameholder, and
- a boss extending away from the flange portion into the interior of the flameholder;
- wherein the flameholder is mounted to the support duct by a fastener extending through the support duct into a hole defined by the boss;
- and
- wherein the flameholder is configured to receive a flow of air from the reheat bypass section via the inlet aperture to cool the boss.
