Abstract

An apparatus for the generation of energy by means of a fluid-flow machine is described, for the drive of which a compressor arrangement for compressing a compressible medium, preferably air, is provided, which medium, via a feed-line system, can be fed to the fluid-flow machine directly or after the interposition of a combustion chamber, in which the compressed medium can be ignited with the addition of fuel. The invention is distinguished by the fact that the compressor arrangement provides at least one compressor stage, in which the medium can be compressed isothermally.
