  • TURBINE ENGINE AND METHOD OF COOLING THEREOF
    Publication number: 20210372327
    Abstract: A turbine engine including a core engine cowl including a compartment, and a cooling system positioned within the compartment. The cooling system includes a cooling fan configured to exhaust heat from the compartment, a temperature sensor configured to monitor a temperature within the compartment, and a controller coupled in communication with the cooling fan and the temperature sensor. The controller is configured to actuate the cooling fan when the temperature is greater than a threshold.
    Type: Application

  • Turbine engine and method of cooling thereof
    Patent number: 10371063
    Abstract: A turbine engine including a core engine cowl including a compartment, a cooling airflow source positioned within the compartment, and a full authority digital engine control (FADEC) system coupled in communication with the cooling airflow source. The FADEC system is configured to determine a flight status of the turbine engine, and actuate the cooling airflow source when the turbine engine is not in flight, and before the turbine engine has been shut down, such that heat is exhausted from the compartment.
    Type: Grant
