Zusammenfassung:A thermal management system (62) for a gas turbine engine (20) includes a heat exchanger (78) including a first coolant passage (86) for a first coolant medium and a second coolant passage (88) for a second coolant medium that is different than the first coolant medium. A first hot flow passage (90) is in thermal communication with the first coolant passage (86). A second hot flow passage (92) is in thermal communication with the second coolant passage (88) all within a common housing (80). A first valve (108) controls a flow of a hot medium into at least one of the first hot flow passage (90) or the second hot flow passage (92). A controller (25) configured to operate the first valve (108) to direct the flow of hot medium into one of the first hot flow passage (90) and the second hot flow passage (92) for transferring thermal energy from the flow of hot medium into one of the first coolant medium and the second coolant medium.
