Abstract
A method in which an air mass flow supplied to a compressor in a power plant is divided in a flow divider into a small partial flow and into a larger partial flow. The smaller partial flow is supplied to an ejector via an air cooler and a booster. The larger partial flow is supplied to the suction line of said ejector. Both partial flows are combined in the ejector. The mass flow which is combined at the outlet of the ejector can be used as pressurized air in various components of a power plant.
