摘要: A gas turbine engine has a compressor section and a turbine section. A secondary cooling air includes a first fluid connection to tap cooling air and pass the cooling air through a plurality of tubes, and a second fluid connection for returning air from the tubes back to at least one of the compressor and turbine for cooling. A sensor senses a condition of the cooling air downstream of the tubes and a control compares the sensed condition of the cooling air to an expected condition, and to identify a potential concern in the cooling air system should the sensed condition differ from the expected condition by more than a predetermined amount.

摘要: A gas turbine engine assembly including a tap that is at a location up stream of the combustor section for drawing a bleed airflow. An exhaust heat exchanger is configured to transfer thermal energy from the exhaust gas flow into the bleed airflow and communicate the heated bleed airflow into the turbine section where it is expanded to drive the turbine section.

摘要: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a core engine that includes a core flow path where a core flow is compressed in a compressor section, communicated to a combustor section, mixed with a hydrogen-based fuel and ignited to generate a gas flow that is expanded through a turbine section. A fuel system is configured to supply a hydrogen based fuel to the combustor through a fuel flow path. A condenser is arranged along the core flow path and configured to extract water from the gas flow. An intercooling system receives a portion of water from the condenser for cooling a portion of the core flow at a first location within the compressor section. Heated water from the intercooling system is exhausted to a second location within the core flow path downstream of the first location.
