A gas turbine engine has a turbine (12) mounted downstream of a compressor (16) and a compressor turbine (18) mounted downstream of the turbine (12) for driving the compressor (16). The compressor turbine (18) has a rotor disk that is mechanically coupled to the compressor (16) and rotates in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the turbine rotor disk (10). A heat exchanger (22) has a first circuit (24) connected to the compressor turbine (18) and a second circuit (25) connected between the compressor (16) and the turbine (12). An electric load (26) for taking off a fraction of power produced by the compressor turbine (18) includes an electric generator (28) that is mechanically coupled to the compressor turbine (18). An electric load controller (32) changes the fraction of power produced by the compressor (18) turbine based on readings from the temperature sensor located in the engine.
