Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a cooling air flow, in particular a gas turbine cooling air flow, is for the control, specific to requirement, of a cooling air flow using low-maintenance. A control fluid flow is introduced into the cooling air flow in the region of the flow duct with a flow component transverse to the flow direction of the cooling air flow through the flow duct. As such, the flow rate of the cooling air flow is adjustable as a function of control parameters of the control fluid flow and/or other parameters.

Abstract: The invention relates to a turbo-machine (1) comprising a rotor (25) that extends along a rotational axis (15). Said rotor (25) has a peripheral surface (31) which is defined by the outer radial delimitation surface of the rotor (25) and has a receiving structure (33) as well as a first moving blade (13A) and a second moving blade (13B). Each moving blade comprises a blade footing (43A, 43B) and a blade platform (17A, 17B). The blade platform (17A) of the first moving blade (13A) and the blade platform (17B) of the second moving blade (13B) border one another, and a gap (49) is formed between the blade platforms (17A, 17B) and the peripheral surface (31). A sealing system (51) is provided in the gap (49) on the peripheral surface (31).
