This disclosure describes embodiments of a vane conditioning apparatus for use in power generating systems. These embodiments generate one or more fluid streams, which impinge on vane separators in the power generating system to change the temperature of the vane separators. In one embodiment, the vane conditioning apparatus comprises a vortex tube to convert pressurized supply air to a hot fluid stream and a cold fluid stream. A flow control device couples with the vortex tube to regulates flow of the hot fluid stream and the cold fluid stream to the vane separators. |
