Abstract:
A clearance control system for a gas turbine engine comprises a blade outer air seal mounted on a carrier. At least one blade is rotatable about an engine axis. The blade outer air seal is spaced radially outwardly from a tip of the blade by a clearance. A heat exchanger is configured to deliver air at a first temperature to the blade outer air seal at a first operating condition to allow the blade outer air seal to move in a first direction to maintain a desired clearance, and configured to deliver air at a second temperature to the blade outer air seal at a second operating condition to allow the blade outer air seal to move in a second direction to maintain a desired clearance, and wherein the second temperature is less than the first temperature. A gas turbine engine and a method of controlling tip clearance in a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.
