A turbofan engine has a primary duct, in which there flows a primary flow at a primary pressure and a secondary duct, which radially surrounds the primary duct and in which there flows a secondary flow at a secondary pressure. The primary duct includes at least one compressor configured to compress the primary flow, a turbine driving the compressor in rotation and a combustion chamber designed to receive, at an inlet, the primary air flow compressed by the compressor. The turbomachine further includes a cooling circuit extending between the compressor and the turbine. The cooling circuit has an air flow rate regulating device arranged upstream of the turbine and having at least one valve that is configured to move between an open position and a closed position, located between the compressor and the combustion chamber in the primary duct and the pressure (PS) in the secondary duct.
