Zusammenfassung:Systems for cooling turbine components via fluid filled conduits 17 are disclosed. Various embodiments include a system having: a set of fan systems 6 for cooling a set of conduits 17, the set of conduits 17 fluidly connected with a turbine component 12; a temperature sensor 14 operably connected to the turbine component 12, the temperature sensor 14 for obtaining a temperature indicator of the turbine component 12; and a control system 16 operably connected to the set of fan systems 6 and the temperature sensor 14, the control system 16 for modifying a speed of at least one fan system 6 in the set of fan systems 6 across a range of speeds in response to determining the temperature indicator deviates from a predetermined range of temperature values.
