Abstract
A field of turbine engines, and more particularly to an engine including a compressor; a combustion chamber; a first turbine connected to the compressor by a first rotary shaft; an actuator device for actuating the first rotary shaft in order to keep the first turbine and the compressor in rotation while the combustion chamber is extinguished; and a lubrication circuit for lubricating the engine. The circuit passes through at least one heat source suitable for heating the lubricant in the lubrication circuit while the first turbine and the compressor are rotating with the combustion chamber extinguished.
