Abstract:
A cooling architecture can include a longitudinally extending radially inner shaft, a radially outer support, and a bearing assembly. The longitudinally extending radially inner shaft can include an inner race. The inner race can define an inner circumferential chamber configured to carry an inner working fluid. The radially outer support can include an outer race. The bearing assembly can include a plurality of roller bearings disposed radially between the inner race and the outer race. The bearing assembly can be configured to radially align the inner shaft with respect to the outer support.
