Abstract
A system includes an air cooling system having a heat exchanger, a fan, and a mount. The heat exchanger includes an inlet, an outlet, and a heat exchange conduit between the inlet and the outlet. The inlet is configured to couple to a bleed system of a gas turbine system to extract a bleed flow. The heat exchanger is configured to cool the bleed flow along the heat exchange conduit in a surrounding air to produce a cooled bleed flow. The outlet is configured to couple to a fuel purge system of the gas turbine system to supply the cooled bleed flow as a fuel purge flow. The fan is configured to force an airflow from the surrounding air through the heat exchanger. The mount is configured to mount the air cooling system outside of an enclosure surrounding the gas turbine system.
