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 and configured to deliver air to an aircraft fuselage. A cooling compressor is connected downstream of the heat exchanger. A high pressure feed is configured to deliver air at a second pressure which is higher than the first pressure. The cooling compressor is configured to deliver air to at least one of the plurality of rotating components. A valve assembly that can select whether air from the first tap or air from the high pressure feed is delivered to the aircraft pneumatic system.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a fan rotor delivering air into a bypass duct defined between an outer fan case and an outer interior housing. The fan rotor also delivers air into a compressor section, a combustor, a turbine section. A chamber is defined between the outer interior housing and an inner housing. The inner housing contains the compressor section, the combustor and the turbine section. A first conduit taps hot compressed air to be cooled and passes the air to at least one heat exchanger. The air is cooled in the heat exchanger and returned to a return conduit. The return conduit passes the cooled air to at least one of the turbine section and the compressor section. The heat exchanger has a core exhaust plane. The turbine section has at least a first and a downstream second rotor blade row, with the core exhaust plane located downstream of a center plane of the second blade row.

Abstract: An intercooled cooling system for a gas turbine engine is provided. The intercooled cooling system includes a plurality of cooling stages in fluid communication with an air stream utilized for cooling. A first cooling stage of the plurality of cooling stages is fluidly coupled to a bleed port of a compressor of the gas turbine engine to receive and cool bleed air with the air stream to produce a cool bleed air. The intercooled cooling system also includes a pump fluidly coupled to the first cooling stage to receive the cool bleed air and increase a pressure of the cool bleed air to produce a pressurized cool bleed air. A second cooling stage of the plurality of cooling stages is fluidly coupled to the pump to receive and cool the pressurized cool bleed air to produce an intercooled cooling air, which is provided to the gas turbine engine.

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 includes a main compressor section having a high pressure compressor with a downstream discharge, and 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 main compressor section. The tap passes the tapped air through a heat exchanger and then to a cooling compressor compressing air downstream of the heat exchanger. The cooling compressor delivers compressed air into the turbine section. An accessory gear box drives the cooling compressor. An intercooling system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
