ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a system for cooling a component in a gas turbine engine, and, in particular, for cooling an engine electronic control thereof. The cooling system includes a housing for mounting the control having a plurality of heat transfer fins extending outwardly therefrom. The housing is mounted in the engine upstream of a compressor and to a front frame having an aperture through which the fins extend. The front frame defines a flowpath to the compressor and the fins extend into the flowpath without adversely affecting the aerodynamic airflow pattern thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the fins extend substantially only to an inner surface of the front frame, and the housing includes temperature and pressure sensors disposed below root sections of the fins.
