In a gas turbine, the compressor load is reduced and the turbine load is increased for controlled bearing load reduction by forming a low-pressure chamber ( 8 ) that is shielded from the compressor air at the compressor ( 1 ) and a high-pressure chamber ( 9 ) that is supplied with compressor air at the turbine along the high-pressure shaft ( 2 ). The pressures can be controlled within specific limits. Controlled bearing load reduction allows high speeds and a long service life of the bearings.
