Zusammenfassung:A thermally actuated assembly (10) for a gas turbine assembly for a gas turbine system includes a heat transfer component (20) having a first portion (22) and a second portion (24), wherein the first portion (22) is disposed within a first cavity (14) having a first temperature and the second portion (24) is disposed in a second cavity (16) having a second temperature, wherein the heat transfer component (20) extends through a cavity wall, wherein the first temperature is greater than the second temperature. Also included is a temperature sensitive element (26) disposed within the second cavity (16) and in operable communication with the heat transfer component (20). Further included is a flow manipulating device (30,32) disposed within the second cavity (16) and configured to displace in response to a temperature change in the first cavity (14).
