Gas Turbine Engine With Intercooled Cooling Air and Controlled Boost Compressor

A gas turbine engine comprises a compressor section having a downstream most end and a cooling air tap at a location spaced upstream from the downstream most end. The cooling air tap is passed through at least one boost compressor and at least one heat exchanger, and then passed to a turbine section...

Zusammenfassung:A gas turbine engine comprises a compressor section having a downstream most end and a cooling air tap at a location spaced upstream from the downstream most end. The cooling air tap is passed through at least one boost compressor and at least one heat exchanger, and then passed to a turbine section to cool the turbine section, the boost compressor being controlled to provide a desired pressure to the turbine section.
