Abstract
An aircraft propulsion system is provided that includes a turbine engine and an intercooler (IC). The turbine engine includes a source of non-hydrocarbon fuel, and a low pressure compressor having an LPC air inlet and outlet, and a high pressure compressor having an HPC air inlet and outlet. The intercooler has an IC air inlet, an IC air outlet, a U-shaped air passage, and crossflow tubes. The IC air inlet is in fluid communication with the LPC air outlet. The IC air outlet is in fluid communication with the HPC air inlet. The U-shaped air passage is in fluid communication with the IC air inlet and outlet. The crossflow tubes extend through the U-shaped air passage. The crossflow tubes are in fluid communication with the source of non-hydrocarbon fuel, and are configured to contain a flow of the non-hydrocarbon fuel therethrough.
