Zusammenfassung:A cooling system (100) for a gas turbine engine (10) control system (99) is provided. The cooling system (100) includes an inlet portion (117) coupled in fluid communication with a source of cooling fluid, the inlet portion configured t o channel cooling fluid from the cooling fluid source to the control system to facilitate cooling the control system, and an outlet portion (119) configured to channel coolin g fluid from the control system to one of the cooling fluid source and a reservoir, and a differential pressure sensor (152) in flow communication with the inlet portion and the outlet portion, the differential pressure sensor configured to sense whether a pressure difference exists within the inlet and outlet portions.
