Abstract
A method for cooling a compressor section of a gas turbine engine includes sensing, via at least one first temperature sensor, a first temperature at the first location on a stationary assembly of the compressor section. The method also includes sensing, via at least one second temperature sensor, a second temperature at a second location on the stationary assembly of the compressor section. The second location is spaced apart from the first location. The method also includes determining, via a controller, a delta between the first temperature and the second temperature. Further, the method includes operating, via the controller, at least one cooling element when the delta exceeds a predetermined threshold, the at least one cooling element provided at the first location of the stationary assembly of the compressor section.
