Systems and methods for minimizing coking in gas turbine engines

Embodiments of the disclosure can provide systems (200) and methods (400) for minimizing coking in gas turbine engines. According to one embodiment, there is disclosed a system (200) for minimizing coking in a gas turbine engine. The system (400) may include a gas turbine compartment (202), a fuel component (206) disposed within the gas turbine compartment (202), and a thermoelectric element (208) disposed at least partially about the fuel component (206). The thermoelectric element (208) may be configured to exchange heat with the fuel component (206).
