Summary: | A gas turbine engine includes a rotor having at least one rotor bore cavity and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is fluidically connected to a conditioning air source and to the rotor bore cavity for flowing air from the conditioning air source to the rotor bore cavity. The heat exchanger is also fluidically connected to a hot fluid source and a cool fluid source for selectively heating and cooling conditioning air flowing to the rotor bore cavity. |
