Title:
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING GAS TURBINE ENGINE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007002839
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To reduce a thermal load of an existing cooling system or eliminate the use of an external cooling system by transmitting heat from a predetermined heat source and dissipating the same to the atmosphere.

In a gas turbine engine 10, a heat pipe 110 is connected to the gas turbine engine to keep a first blocked end part 114 of the heat pipe 110 under a condition thermally communicating with lubricating fluid and a second blocked end part 113 in an opposite side of the heat pipe is arranged under a condition thermally communicating with environment air 14 or other heat sink medium 112. The second blocked end part 113 of the heat pipe is extended to radial direction outside with penetrating through an outside casing to make the fluid flow from the first blocked end part of the heat pipe to the second blocked end part and flow in a reverse direction to the first blocked end part from the second blocked end part of the heat pipe through the heat pipe, even if quantity of fluid is small.
