    摘要: A method of operating a gas turbine engine having an engine core having a turbine, a compressor, a combustor to combust a fuel, and a core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor; a fan located upstream of the engine core; a fan shaft; a main gearbox receiving an input from the core shaft and outputting drive to the fan via the fan shaft; a primary oil loop system to supply oil to lubricate the main gearbox; and a heat exchange system arranged to transfer heat between the oil and the fuel, the oil having an average temperature of at least 180° C. on entry to the heat exchange system at cruise conditions. The method includes transferring 200 to 600 KJ/m3 of heat from the oil to the fuel, using the heat exchange system, at cruise conditions, which may facilitate control of the oil temperature on entry to the main gearbox.
