Abstract: An adaptive thermal management system for a gas turbine engine includes a heat exchanger transferring heat into a coolant, a temperature sensor measuring a temperature of the coolant, and a sensor assembly that measures a parameter of the coolant during operation of the gas turbine engine. The parameter measured by the sensor assembly is indicative of a capacity of the coolant to accept heat from the hot flow. A control valve governs a flow of coolant into the heat exchanger. A controller adjusts the control valve to communicate coolant to the heat exchanger based on a determined capacity of the coolant to accept heat in view of the measured temperature of the coolant and that the measured parameter of the coolant is within a predefined range.

Abstract: A fuel-based thermal management system may comprise a heat exchanger configured to thermally couple a fluid and a fuel. A controller may be configured to modulate a flow of the fluid to the heat exchanger. A tangible, non-transitory memory may be configured to communicate with the controller. The controller may determine a temperature of the fluid, estimate a dissolved oxygen concentration in the fuel using a first fuel temperature, a flight cycle time, and at least one of an altitude measurement or a ambient pressure measurement, and modulate the flow of the fluid to the heat exchanger based on the dissolved oxygen concentration.

Abstract: A heat exchanger for a gas turbine engine includes a first plate for a coolant medium, and the first plate includes a first cool portion, a second cool portion, a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet. The coolant inlet and the coolant outlet are disposed on a common side and the first cool portion includes more passages than the second cool portion. A second plate is in thermal communication with the first plate. The second plate includes a first hot portion including a first inlet and a first outlet and a second hot portion includes a second inlet and a second outlet. The first cool portion is in thermal communication with the first hot portion and the second cool portion is in thermal communication with the second hot portion.

Abstract: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a turbomachine cooling system includes a first low pressure port disposed in a low pressure portion of a turbomachine and a first high pressure port disposed in a high pressure portion of the turbomachine and in selective fluid communication with the first low pressure port via a cooling channel. The high pressure portion of the turbomachine is configured for a higher compression than the low pressure portion of the turbomachine where the first low pressure port is disposed. The cooling system can include a heat exchanger system disposed in the cooling channel such that a flow traveling from the first high pressure port to the first low pressure port is cooled by the heat exchanger system before traveling through the first low pressure port into the low pressure portion of the turbomachine.
