ABSTRACT:
A method for assembling a gas turbine engine assembly that includes mounting a gas turbine engine including an inlet and an exhaust within a module that includes an inlet area, an exhaust area, and an engine area extending therebetween, such that the gas turbine engine is housed within the module, coupling a first deflector within the module engine area such that when cooling air is channeled past the deflector, the deflector induces a substantially helically-shaped cooling air flowpath around a periphery of the gas turbine engine, and coupling an exhaust duct to an outlet of the module exhaust area.
