Abstract
A cooling system for a gas turbine engine. The system includes a fuel air heat exchanger with a fuel passage that is in thermal contact with an engine cooling air passage. The system further includes a fuel deoxygenator located upstream of the fuel air heat exchanger and configured to deliver deoxygenated fuel to the fuel air heat exchanger fuel passage. The system also includes a valve configured to moderate engine cooling air flow to the engine cooling air passage.
