Abstract
A system includes a gas turbine engine, including a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. The system includes an intercooler configured to receive a discharge air from the compressor and to cool the discharge air. The system includes a first conduit to divert a portion of the cooled discharge air from the intercooler or a location downstream of the intercooler to a bearing located within the turbine to pressurize the bearing to block leakage of fluid from the bearing.
