A system for supplying a working fluid to a combustor includes a fuel nozzle, a combustion chamber disposed downstream from the fuel nozzle, an inner flow sleeve that circumferentially surrounds the combustion chamber and a plurality of injectors circumferentially arranged around the inner flow sleeve. The plurality of injectors provide for fluid communication through the inner flow sleeve and into the combustion chamber downstream from the fuel nozzle. The system further includes an outer air shield that defines an injection air plenum that surrounds the plurality of injectors. An inlet passage extends through the outer air shield to define a flow path into the injection air plenum. An outer sleeve is slidingly engaged with the outer air shield. The outer sleeve has a first position that restricts flow through the inlet passage and a second position that increases flow through the inlet passage.

The system as in claim 8, further comprising a plurality of holes that extend through the outer sleeve, the holes being arranged to at least partially align with the plurality of inlet passages as the outer sleeve slides between the first position and the second position. 14. The system as in claim 13, wherein at least some of the plurality of holes has a non-circular shape. 15. A gas turbine, comprising: a. a compressor, a combustor disposed downstream from the compressor and a turbine disposed downstream from the combustor, the combustor comprising: i. a fuel nozzle;ii. a liner defining a combustion chamber downstream from the fuel nozzle;iii. an inner flow sleeve that circumferentially surrounds the liner, wherein the inner flow sleeve is radially spaced from the liner and forms a cooling flow passage therebetween;iv. a plurality of injectors circumferentially arranged around the inner flow sleeve, wherein the plurality of injectors provide fluid communication through the inner flow sleeve and into the combustion chamber;v. an outer air shield that at least partially surrounds the inner flow sleeve;vi. an injection air plenum defined between the inner flow sleeve and the outer air shield, wherein the plurality of injectors are in fluid communication with the injection air plenum;vii. a plurality of inlet passages that extends through the outer air shield to define a plurality of flow paths into the injection air plenum; andviii. an outer sleeve slideably engaged with the outer air shield, wherein the outer sleeve has a first position that restricts flow through at least some of the inlet passages and a second position that increases flow through at least some of the inlet passages. 16. The gas turbine as in claim 15, wherein the outer sleeve slides axially across the outer air shield with respect to an axial centerline of the combustor. 17. The gas turbine as in claim 15, wherein the outer sleeve slides circumferentially around the outer air shield with respect to an axial centerline of the combustor. 18. The gas turbine as in claim 15, further comprising a plurality of holes that extend through the outer sleeve, the holes being arranged to at least partially align with at least a portion of the plurality of inlet passages as the outer sleeve slides between the first position and the second position. 19. The gas turbine as in claim 18, wherein at least some of the holes have a non-circular shape. 20. The gas turbine as in claim 15, further comprising an actuating mechanism and a controller, wherein the outer sleeve is coupled to the actuating mechanism and the actuating mechanism is coupled to the controller.
