Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a main compressor section having a high pressure compressor with a downstream discharge, and more upstream locations. A turbine section has a high pressure turbine. A tap taps air from at least one of the more upstream locations in the compressor section, passes the tapped air through a heat exchanger and then to a cooling compressor. The cooling compressor compresses air downstream of the heat exchanger, and delivers air into the high pressure turbine. A core housing has an outer peripheral surface and a fan housing defining an inner peripheral surface. At least one bifurcation duct extends between the outer peripheral surface to the inner peripheral surface. The heat exchanger is received within the at least one bifurcation duct.

Abstract: A thermal system for a gas turbine engine includes a bypass flow duct and a compressor flow duct which meets with the bypass flow duct at an intersection. A valve is located within the intersection and is movable between a first position and a second position. First position is operable to selectively communicate fan bypass flow from the bypass flow duct and block the compressor flow duct. The second position is operable to selectively block the bypass flow duct and communicate bleed flow through the compressor flow duct.

Abstract: A disclosed bleed air system utilizes high pressure air from a high pressure compressor to drive the turbo compressor to increase a pressure of bleed air drawn from the low pressure compressor. Air drawn from the low pressure compressor is at a lower temperature and pressure than that encountered from the high pressure compressor. The turbo compressor increases the pressure of airflow and provides that airflow into the main bleed air passage to be communicated to systems utilizing the bleed air.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a plurality of rotating components housed within a compressor section and a turbine section. A first tap is connected to the compressor section and configured to deliver air at a first pressure. A heat exchanger is connected downstream of the first tap. A flowpath is defined between a rotating surface and a non-rotating surface. The flowpath is connected downstream of the heat exchanger and is configured to deliver air to at least one of the plurality of rotating components. At least a portion of the non-rotating surface and the rotating surface includes a base metal. An insulation material is disposed on a surface along the flowpath.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a compressor section with 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 is driven by a driveshaft which is driven by the turbine section. A boost turbine selectively drives the boost compressor.
