Abstract
A turbine case cooling system and a method for supplying a cooling gas flow are provided. The cooling system has a turbine case and a turbine case cooling manifold. The cooling system also has a fluid or cooling conduit. The cooling conduit has an inlet in fluid communication with the bypass duct, and an outlet in fluid communication with the cooling manifold. The cooling conduit also has an ejector section which in use supplies a motive air flow radially into the cooling conduit to draw a bypass air flow from the bypass duct. The motive air flow mixes with the bypass air flow to form the cooling gas flow. The cooling conduit also has a diffuser section which in use conveys the cooling gas flow toward the outlet in a direction substantially perpendicular to the center axis of the gas turbine engine.
