Zusammenfassung:A gas turbine includes at least one combustor and an exhaust frame; a compressor adapted to supply air to the combustor and to supply bleed air to the exhaust frame. A cooling air supply duct is arranged to supply ambient air to the exhaust frame and at least one ejector is. arranged to supply the bleed air to the cooling air supply duct upstream of the exhaust frame. A control valve is configured to control the supply of compressor bleed air to the cooling air supply duct and to the exhaust frame as a function of turbine exhaust temperature and/or turbine load conditions and cooling requirements at the various turbine load conditions.
