Abstract
A fluid thermal control system for a gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine has a compressor section and an engine fluid source that produces a flow of engine fluid. The fluid thermal control system includes an airflow inlet, an airflow outlet, a heat exchanger, an airflow inlet valve, and a bleed air valve. The heat exchanger permits heat transfer between a heat exchanger airflow and the flow of engine fluid. The airflow inlet valve permits the airflow from the source of airflow to engage with the heat exchanger as at least part of the heat exchanger airflow. The bleed air valve is controllable between closed and open configurations. The bleed air valve is in communication with the compressor section and is configured to receive compressor bleed air. In the open configuration, the bleed air valve allows compressor bleed air to engage with the heat exchanger.
