Abstract
A stator temperature control system for a gas turbine engine is provided. The stator temperature control system includes a casing circumferentially surrounding a stator assembly, the casing having a top portion and a bottom portion; an air source having an inlet and an outlet; and a supply line in fluid communication with the outlet of the air source and the bottom portion of the casing, wherein the bottom portion of the casing receives a flow of air from the air source via the supply line to increase a temperature of the bottom portion of the casing.
