Abstract
A thermally actuated assembly for a gas turbine assembly for a gas turbine system includes a heat transfer component having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is disposed within a first cavity having a first temperature and the second portion is disposed in a second cavity having a second temperature, wherein the heat transfer component extends through a cavity wall, wherein the first temperature is greater than the second temperature. Also included is a temperature sensitive element disposed within the second cavity and in operable communication with the heat transfer component. Further included is a flow manipulating device disposed within the second cavity and configured to displace in response to a temperature change in the first cavity.
