Abstract
A gas turbine includes a compressor for compressing the combustion air, at least one combustion chamber, in which a fuel is burned while compressed combustion air is supplied, and at least one first turbine arranged downstream of the combustion chamber and in which the hot combustion gases from the combustion chamber are expanded to perform work. Part of the compressed combustion air is branched off, cooled in a cooling air cooler, brought to a lower cooling air pressure by a second turbine and supplied to the gas turbine for cooling purposes.
