Abstract

In a process for operating a fluid flow engine, a conditioning medium is conducted through the rotor, which consists of several shaft parts (1, 2) welded together; this medium is capable of evening out the temperature difference established between the stator (3) and the rotor in the transient operating ranges, depending on whether heating or cooling of the rotor is suited to the characteristic curve of the stator temperature course.
