Abstract
In a gas-turbine installation according to the invention there is provided, in order to increase the compressor mass flow, a separate turbo-compressor which is connected in parallel to the compressor of the gas turbine and which is preferably operated by means of an electric motor. By this means, the gas turbine is, at a current ambient temperature, operated with increased power output appropriate to a lower ambient temperature.
