КОМПРЕССОРНАЯ СИСТЕМА И СПОСОБЫ УМЕНЬШЕНИЯ ОХЛАЖДАЮЩЕГО ВОЗДУШНОГО ПОТОКА

摘要

A cooling airflow compressor system (50) and methods for reducing a cooling airflow are described. The cooling airflow compressor system (50) utilizes a primary high pressure compressor (52) in combination with a secondary high pressure compressor (54) to further compress a primary airflow. The secondary high pressure compressor (54) includes a rotor driven by a high pressure turbine connected by a high pressure turbine shaft to the primary high pressure compressor (52). A heat exchanger (76) is connected to the secondary high pressure compressor (54) to further cool the cooling airflow. The cooling airflow is utilized to cool the turbine and a high pressure turbine vane.
