Abstract
A method of operating a gas turbine engine comprising: extracting a flow of air from a compressor section of the gas turbine engine into a first conduit; flowing the extracted flow of air through the first conduit to a first location at a turbine section of the turbine section, wherein a second conduit is in fluid communication with the turbine section at a second location; flowing a heat transfer fluid to a first heat exchanger positioned in thermal communication with the flow of air through the first conduit, the heat transfer fluid in thermal communication with the extracted flow of air through the first conduit via the first heat exchanger; and modulating, via a flow control device, a portion of the flow of air extracted from the first conduit to the second conduit downstream of the first heat exchanger.
