Abstract:
An induction heater is employed with a gas turbine engine in order to heat a static component of the gas turbine engine. The heating of the static component is performed prior to the ignition of the gas turbine engine and during transient conditions. This minimizes thermal differences between the components of the gas turbine engine during transient conditions to thereby increase the life span of the components.
