More Information
Summary:The gas turbine engine (1) comprises a compressor (2), a combustor plenum (3) housing at least one combustion chamber (4), at least one turbine (5) having at least a first stage (16). The turbine (5) comprises an outer housing (7) and a turbine vane carrier (12). A cooling plenum (13) for air is defined between the outer housing (7) and the turbine vane carrier (12). The gas turbine engine (1) comprises an annular element (15, 19) upstream of a vane (10A) of the first stage with respect to the hot gas direction (G), and a heat exchanger (6) is connected between the combustor plenum (3) and the cooling plenum (13). The method for cooling the gas turbine engine involves cooling the compressed air in said heat exchanger (6).
