Abstract
A gas turbine engine is provided that includes compressor and turbine sections, an engine compartment, an air turbine starter (ATS), and a buffer air augmentation system. The compressor and turbine sections are engaged by a shaft. The ATS is disposed to drive the compressor and turbine sections. The air turbine starter is configured to receive a flow of compressed air from a compressed air source. The air turbine starter has an exhaust port configured to pass a flow of ATS exhaust gas flow. The buffer air augmentation system includes flow ducting configured to selectively provide fluid communication of the flow of ATS exhaust gas between the exhaust port of the air turbine starter and the engine compartment. The system is configured to provide the flow of ATS exhaust gas to the engine compartment during a start-up segment of an engine operational cycle.
