ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cooling components of an airplane engine at least partially operated by a cryogenically stored propellant via cooling air includes an air supply line for supplying the cooling air from an outside environment. A heat exchanger exchanges the cooling air with the propellant to precool the cooling air and includes a condenser having an in-flow and an out-flow side connected to the air supply line for precooling the cooling air. A pump is coupled to a cooling air line for conveying the precooled air in a liquid or vapor state to the components to be cooled wherein the cryogenically stored propellant acts upon the condenser. A propellant tank is connected to the in-flow side of the condenser and stores the cryogenically stored propellant, wherein the out-flow side of the condenser is connected to at least one combustion system of the airplane engine.
