    摘要: The gas turbine engine (1) comprises a compressor (2), a combustor plenum (3) housing at least one combustion chamber (4), at least one turbine (5) having at least a first stage (16). The turbine (5) comprises an outer housing (7) and a turbine vane carrier (12). A cooling plenum (13) for air is defined between the outer housing (7) and the turbine vane carrier (12). The gas turbine engine (1) comprises an annular element (15, 19) upstream of a vane (10A) of the first stage with respect to the hot gas direction (G), and a heat exchanger (6) is connected between the combustor plenum (3) and the cooling plenum (13). The method for cooling the gas turbine engine involves cooling the compressed air in said heat exchanger (6).

    摘要: A gas turbine engine (100) has a fan rotor (87) delivering air into a bypass duct defined between an outer fan case (94) and an outer interior housing. The fan rotor (87) also delivers air into a compressor section (77,79), a combustor (106), a turbine section (108H,108L). A chamber (97) is defined between the outer interior housing and an inner housing (113). The inner housing (113) contains the compressor section (77,79), the combustor (106) and the turbine section (108H,108L). A first conduit (110) taps hot compressed air to be cooled and passes the air to at least one heat exchanger (102). The air is cooled in the heat exchanger (102) and returned to a return conduit (112). The return conduit (112) passes the cooled air to at least one of the turbine section (108H,108L) and the compressor section (77,79). The heat exchanger (102) has a core exhaust plane (86). The turbine section (108H,108L) has at least a first and a downstream second rotor blade row (80,82), with the core exhaust plane (86) located downstream of a center plane (88) of the second blade row (82).
