Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a plurality of rotatable components housed within a main compressor section and a turbine section. A cooling system is connected to tap air from said main compressor section. A first tap is connected to a first heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger is connected to a cooling compressor for raising a pressure of the tapped air downstream of the first heat exchanger. A second heat exchanger is downstream of the cooling compressor, and a connection is downstream of the second heat exchanger for delivering air to a bearing compartment. A connection intermediate the cooling compressor and the second heat exchanger delivers cooling air to at least one of the rotatable components.
