Abstract:
A system according to various embodiments includes: a cooling network within a turbine component, the cooling network including at least one passageway fluidly connected with a surface of the turbine component; a cooling fluid source for providing a cooling fluid to the cooling network; and a temperature-actuated flow modulating device fluidly connected with the cooling fluid source and the cooling network, the temperature-actuated flow modulating device configured to: detect an ambient air temperature proximate the turbine component; and control a flow of the cooling fluid to the cooling network based upon the detected ambient air temperature.
