    Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a fan and a compressor section with a first lower pressure location and a second higher pressure location. A heat exchanger and a higher pressure tap from the second higher pressure location pass through the heat exchanger. Air in the higher pressure tap is cooled by air from a lower pressure tap from the first lower pressure location. A valve controls flow to the heat exchanger from the lower pressure tap, the valve being controlled to limit flow from the lower pressure tap under certain conditions.
