Zusammenfassung:A gas turbine engine cooling system (400,500,600) includes a gas turbine engine (100). The gas turbine engine includes a core engine (102), a cold sink (602,202,316,302,702), a core undercowl space (131), and a core cowl (130) at least partially surrounding the core engine and defining a radially outer wall of the core undercowl space. The gas turbine engine cooling system includes an undercowl component (402) positioned in the core undercowl space. The gas turbine engine cooling system also includes a heat pipe (414) including a first end (416), a second end (418), and a conduit (420) extending therebetween. The first end is thermally coupled to the undercowl component, and the second end is thermally coupled to the cold sink. The heat pipe facilitates transfer of a quantity of heat from the undercowl component to the cold sink.
