Abstract (en)
A mounting structure for mounting a combustor cap 110 in a combustor of a turbine engine includes support struts 160 that are connected between the combustor cap 110 and a concentric combustor cap barrel flange 150. The support struts 160 may have an airfoil shape to minimize wakes created in a flow of compressed air that is passing over the support struts. Also, the support struts 160 may have an interior passageway that allows a portion of the compressed air to flow though the support strut 160. The flow of air passing through the support struts 160 may also pass through corresponding vent apertures in the combustor cap barrel flange 150 so that the flow of air passing through the support struts 160 is delivered into a space between the exterior of the combustor cap barrel flange 150 and a forward casing of the combustor.
