Abstract
The use of a pressure wave machine as energy exchanger (C) in a gas turbine plant makes it possible, owing to the self-cooling cellular wheel (22), to employ substantially higher temperatures. However, in order to be able to make full use of this advantage, steam cooling (13) is applied for the low-pressure gas outlet ducts (35, 37), while in addition means are provided for utilizing the heated cooling steam in a part of the gas turbine, for example in the combustion chamber (D) or in the turbine (B).
