A mid-turbine frame (MTF) assembly having: an outer case circumferentially extending around a central axis; an outer ring secured to the outer case and disposed radially inwardly of the outer case relative to the central axis; an inner case structurally connected to the outer case and disposed radially inwardly of the outer ring relative to the central axis; a main plenum circumferentially extending around the central axis and located between the outer case and the outer ring, the main plenum having an inlet fluidly connectable to a source of cooling air, a first outlet fluidly connected to a secondary plenum between the main plenum and the inner case, a second outlet configured to be fluidly connected to a rotor cavity of the low-pressure turbine, and a third outlet configured to be fluidly connected to a plenum surrounding a containment ring of the low-pressure turbine.

Mid-turbine frame for gas turbine engine

Systems and methods for regulating oil flow to an engine are described herein. An oil pressure target for the engine is determined based on one or more engine operating parameters. Oil flow to the engine is controlled based on the oil pressure target. Closed-loop feedback of oil pressure of the engine is obtained from at least one sensor during the controlling of the oil flow to the engine. A pressure difference between the oil pressure target and the closed-loop feedback of the oil pressure of the engine is determined. The oil flow to the engine is adjusted based on the pressure difference.
