Zusammenfassung:	A heat transfer system is provided for a turbine engine of the type including an annular inlet cowling (14). The heat transfer system includes at least one heat pipe (28) disposed in contact with an interior of the casing. The heat pipe is thermally coupled to a heat source, such that heat from the heat source can be transferred through the heat pipe (28) and into the inlet cowling (14).
