Abstract:
An air-oil cooler (AOC) for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The AOC may comprise an oil inlet, an oil outlet, and heat exchange elements between the oil inlet and the oil outlet. The AOC may be longitudinally positioned between a fan and a V-groove of the engine and radially spaced between a low pressure compressor and a low pressure compressor panel. A gas turbine engine comprising an AOC is disclosed. The AOC of the engine may comprise an oil inlet, an oil outlet, and heat exchange elements between the oil inlet and the oil outlet. The AOC of the engine may be longitudinally positioned between a fan and a V-groove of the engine and radially spaced between a low pressure compressor and a low pressure compressor panel. A method of operating an AOC for use on a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An example turbomachine assembly includes, among other things, a nose cone of a turbomachine, and a pump at least partially within an interior of the nose cone. The pump is selectively rotated by a motor to communicate air to the interior.

Abstract:
A turbine engine system includes a first lubricant circuit, a second lubricant circuit, a plurality of engine stages and a shaft. The first lubricant circuit includes a first turbine engine component that is fluidly coupled with a first lubricant heat exchanger. The second lubricant circuit includes a second turbine engine component that is fluidly coupled with a second lubricant heat exchanger, wherein the second lubricant circuit is fluidly separate from the first lubricant circuit. The first turbine engine component includes a gear train, which connects a first of the engine stages to a second of the engine stages. The second turbine engine component includes a bearing. The shaft is supported by the bearing and connected to one of the engine stages.
