Abstract
A gas turbine engine component includes a heat exchange structure having an upstream end and a downstream end. A diffusing duct is associated with the upstream end. A throttle member controls air flow through the heat exchange structure, wherein the throttle member: (a) has a non-circular cross section; and (b) is mounted to the downstream end of the heat exchange structure or is mounted between the upstream end and the diffusing duct.
