BUFFER SYSTEM THAT COMMUNICATES BUFFER SUPPLY AIR TO A PORTION OF A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

摘要

A gas turbine engine includes a buffer system that communicates 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 a valve that selects between the first bleed air supply and the second bleed air supply to communicate the buffer supply air to the portion of the gas turbine engine.
