More Information
Summary:A system for cooling multiple compartments of a turbomachine (100), wherein the compartments comprise at least a first compartment (105) and a second compartment (110). The cooling system comprises a cooling circuit which is in fluid communication with at least the first compartment (105) and the second compartment (110); wherein a first portion (165, 170) of the cooling circuit is located within the first compartment (105) and a second portion (185) of the cooling circuit is located within the second compartment (110). The system also includes at least one air circulation device (160) for moving a cooling fluid through the cooling circuit; wherein the cooling fluid comprises air which derives from ambient. Air enters the first compartment (105) at a first temperature range, exits the first compartment (105) at a second temperature range and then enters the second compartment (110) at the second temperature range and exits the second compartment (110) at a third temperature range.
