Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section having a high pressure compressor and a core casing surrounding the compressor section and defining an inlet. The gas turbine engine also includes a cooling system for cooling air in or to the compressor section. The cooling system includes a fluid tank for storing a volume of cooling fluid and a fluid line assembly in fluid communication with the fluid tank. The fluid line assembly includes an outlet positioned upstream of the high pressure compressor and downstream of the inlet defined by the core casing for injecting cooling fluid into an airflow upstream of the high pressure compressor.
