A gas turbine engine frame with an integral fluid reservoir and air/fluid heat exchanger

摘要

Disclosed is a structural frame (38) for a gas turbine (10) engine comprising an integral fluid reservoir (60) and air/fluid heat exchanger (68;168;268). A central hub (56) includes a reservoir (60) for storing a fluid and an outer rim (62) circumscribes the hub (56). A heat exchanger (68;168;268) is fluidly coupled to the reservoir (60) and is in simultaneous communication with the fluid and an air stream.
