Patent attributes
An annular heat shield arrangement for a combustor liner comprises annular heat shield assemblies. The annular heat shield assemblies include heat shield segments circumferentially distributed around an axis of the annular heat shield assembly. The heat shield segments extend from a first lateral edge face to a second lateral edge face, a first overlap joint portion being defined at the first lateral edge face, a second overlap joint portion being defined at the second lateral edge face. The first overlap joint portion and the second overlap joint portion are complementary to form an overlap joint when pairs of the heat shield segments are side by side in any one of the heat shield assemblies. An adjacent pair of the annular heat shield assemblies are connected to one another at an overlap between the pair, and wherein the overlap joints from a first of the annular heat shield assemblies of the pair are circumferentially offset from a second of the annular heat shield assemblies of the pair.
