ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a method of restoring exhaust gas temperature (EGT) margin in a gas turbine engine equipped with a modulating valve and other hardware for shrinking the turbine case relative to the turbine rotors. The method involves increasing the minimum flow area of the modulating valve at all engine operating conditions after the engine experiences some wear and operational deterioration, thereby providing additional cooling flow at take-off and climb conditions to restore both turbine efficiency and EGT margin.
