A method for flushing a section of a fuel system of a burner of a gas turbine is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a feed line for feeding fuel from a fuel source to the burner, providing a first feed point close to the burner and a second feed point remote from the burner in the feed line in each case for feeding a medium into the feed line, feeding the medium via the first feed point, and discharging, via the burner, the fuel which is in the feed line between the first feed point and the burner, and also feeding the medium via the second feed point, and discharging, via the first feed point, the fuel which is in the feed line between the second feed point and the first feed point.

A quick acting control valve for a steam turbine is provided. The quick acting control valve includes a valve box and a control valve cone which is arranged in the valve box so as to be displaceable along its center axis, whereby the control valve cone may be brought into an open position in which the control valve cone, with its control valve cone surface is lifted off the valve box and into a closed position in which the control valve cone rests against the valve box with its control valve cone surface, and a quick acting valve piston which is arranged in the valve box so as to face the back of the control valve cone facing away from the control valve cone surface, the quick acting control valve piston, on its outer peripheral edge, always resting on the valve box in a steam-tight manner.
