Claims14
A method for cooling a turbo machine, wherein the turbo machine has an inlet and/or an outlet,
- fluidically connecting the outlet to an evacuation unit,
- wherein the inlet is fluidically connected to an air device for feeding in coolant,
- wherein the evacuation unit is embodied in such a way that the coolant flows at a coolant through flow rate through the turbo machine,
- determining permissible cooling rates of the turbo machine,
- detecting an actual cooling rate of the turbo machine,
- comparing the permissible cooling rate and the actual cooling rate with an automation system, and the through flow rate of coolant is controlled with the automation system.
