Title: Gas turbine engine component cooling system

Abstract

In a gas turbine engine including a compressor supported in an annular frame, the frame having a front frame portion extending upstream of the compressor, the front frame having radially inner and outer surfaces, the inner surface defining a flowpath to the compressor, a system is described for cooling an engine component which consists of: the front frame including an aperture extending therethrough; a housing for mounting the engine component therein, including a plurality of heat transfer fins extending outwardly therefrom; and the housing being mounted to the radially outer surface of the front frame so that the heat transfer fins extend through the aperture and into the flowpath.
