A method for operating a gas turbine engine (10), including a first compress or (14), a second compressor (16), and a turbine (20), coupled together in serial flow arrangement. The method includes channeling compressed airflow (53) discharg ed from the first compressor through an intercooler (50) having a cooling mediu m flowing therethrough, operating the intercooler such that condensate is form ed in the intercooler from the compressed airflow, and channeling the condensate to an inlet (26,30) of the first or second compressor to facilitate reducing an operatin g temperature of the gas turbine engine. |
