Zusammenfassung:Systems for cooling turbine components via fluid filled conduits are disclosed. Various embodiments include a system having: a set of fan systems for cooling a set of conduits, the set of conduits fluidly connected with a turbine component; a temperature sensor operably connected to the turbine component, the temperature sensor for obtaining a temperature indicator of the turbine component; and a control system operably connected to the set of fan systems and the temperature sensor, the control system for modifying a speed of at least one fan system in the set of fan systems across a range of speeds in response to determining the temperature indicator deviates from a predetermined range of temperature values.
