ABSTRACT:
A system and method for providing clean cooling air to a hot portion of a gas turbine engine is disclosed, where the engine includes a compressor. The system includes a turbocompressor (66) having a compressor section and a turbine section, wherein the compressor and turbine sections each have an inlet and an outlet. The system further includes a heat exchanger (64) having a first inlet and a first outlet for a first fluid flow providing cooling to the heat exchanger, the first inlet being in fluid communication with a low temperature fluid. The heat exchanger (64) also has a second inlet and a second outlet for a second air flow receiving cooling from the heat exchanger, the second inlet being in fluid communication with high temperature air from the engine compressor and the second outlet being in fluid communication with the inlet of the compressor section of the turbocompressor. The outlet of the compressor section of the turbocompressor is in fluid communication with the filter inlet and the outlet of the filter (72) is in fluid communication with the engine hot portion so that clean cooling air is supplied to the engine hot portion.
