Abstract
A gas turbine casing with an internal heat exchange system. The gas turbine extends between an inlet section and an exhaust section and defines a downstream direction from the inlet section to the exhaust section. The casing includes a forward end, an aft end downstream of the forward end, a first exterior surface facing radially outward, a second exterior surface facing radially inward, and an internal body at least partially defined between the first exterior surface and the second exterior surface. The heat exchange system includes an inlet and an outlet formed in an exterior surface of the casing proximate the aft end, a supply bore extending upstream from the inlet through the interior body of the casing, and a return bore extending downstream to the outlet through the interior body of the casing.
