Abstract
A foundation temperature control system for use with a rotary machine is positioned between the rotary machine and a foundation. The foundation temperature control system includes a heat shield, an insulation pack positioned below the heat shield, and an air gap at least partially defined by the heat shield and the insulation pack. The heat shield, the insulation pack, and the air gap are oriented to facilitate maintaining a temperature of the foundation supporting the rotary machine below a maximum rated operating temperature of the foundation.
