Abstract: A method of designing a buffer system for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, configuring a heat exchanger to define a first inlet and a first outlet fluidly coupled to each other and a second inlet and a second outlet fluidly coupled to each other, configuring the first inlet to receive air from first and second air sources that are selectively fluidly coupled to the first inlet, configuring the second inlet to receive air from a third air source fluidly that is coupled to the second inlet, and configuring the first outlet to provide cooled pressurized air to multiple fluid-supplied areas that are located remotely from one another and that are fluidly coupled to the first outlet, the multiple fluid-supplied areas including a bearing compartment of a gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a front center body case structure. A geared architecture is at least partially supported by the front center body case structure. A bearing structure is mounted to the front center body case structure to rotationally support a shaft driven by the geared architecture, the shaft drive a fan. A bearing compartment passage structure is in communication with the bearing structure through the front center body case structure. A method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fan, a low pressure compressor, and a high pressure compressor axially aft of the low pressure compressor. A first case structure defines a core flow path for core airflow into the low pressure compressor and has a forward end and an aft end. A second case structure defines a core flow path for core airflow into the high pressure compressor and is mounted to the aft end of the first case structure. A geared architecture is at least partially supported by the first case structure. A first bearing structure is mounted to the first case structure to rotationally support a fan shaft that connects with the geared architecture to drive the fan. A flex support provides a flexible attachment of the geared architecture within the first case structure. A fan drive turbine drives the geared architecture to drive the fan at a speed lower than a speed of the fan drive turbine.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a shaft, a first bearing structure and a second bearing structure that support the shaft. Each of the first bearing structure and the second bearing structure includes a bearing compartment that contains a lubricant and a seal that contains the lubricant within the bearing compartments. A buffer system is configured to pressurize the seals to prevent the lubricant from escaping the bearing compartments. The buffer system includes a first circuit configured to supply a first buffer supply air to the first bearing structure, a second circuit configured to supply a second buffer supply air to the second bearing structure, and a controller configured to select between at least two bleed air supplies to communicate the first buffer supply air and the second buffer supply air.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan, a compressor section, and a turbine section configured to drive the compressor section and the fan. A buffer system is configured to communicate a buffer supply air to a portion of the gas turbine engine. The buffer system includes a first bleed air supply having a first pressure, a second bleed air supply having a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure, and an ejector that selectively augments the first bleed air supply to prepare the buffer supply air for communication to the portion of the gas turbine engine. A method and a buffer system are also disclosed.
