  • Publication number: 20240084731
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine assembly includes a core engine that includes a core flow path where a core airflow is compressed in a compressor section, communicated to a combustor section, mixed with fuel and ignited to generate an exhaust gas flow that is expanded through a turbine section. The turbine section is coupled to drive the compressor section through an engine drive shaft. A tap is at a location up stream of the combustor section for drawing a bleed airflow. A bleed air heat exchanger places the bleed airflow in thermal communication with an auxiliary flow for heating the bleed airflow. An exhaust heat exchanger is configured to transfer thermal energy from the exhaust gas flow into the bleed airflow.
