Abstract
In a power plant which essentially comprises a compressor (2), a combustion chamber (4) and a turbine (7), an injector system (30) is provided in the region of an outlet diffuser (3) of the compressor (2). This injector system (30) comprises a ring of individual injectors (31) which are arranged on the inner circumference of the outlet diffuser (3). The propulsion nozzles of these injectors (31) are loaded with steam (10) from a waste-heat steam generator (9). The throughflow cross section of the outlet diffuser (3) at the same time forms the combining nozzle of the injectors (31).
