ABSTRACT:
A cooling system for a turbine includes a blower configured to generate a cooling gas flow to be passed through a rotor cavity of the turbine; piping configured to deliver the cooling gas flow to the turbine; and at least one valve configured to control the cooling gas flow. The piping is operatively connected to the rotor of the turbine. A method of cooling a turbine includes generating a cooling gas flow with a blower to be passed through a rotor cavity of the turbine; and delivering the cooling gas flow to the turbine.
