Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling apparatus (101, 104, 1, 201, 271, 2, 301, 304) and a method for cooling a continuous strip (90, 9), wherein the cooling apparatus (101, 104, 1, 201, 271, 2, 301, 304) comprises a cooling drum (20, 2, 3) and a guiding device (151, 304, 343, 40, 4) for guiding the strip (9) in a plurality of windings around the cooling drum (20, 2, 3), wherein the guiding device (151, 304, 343, 40, 4) comprises first and second guiding elements (343, 41, 42), wherein each one of the first guiding elements (343, 41, 42) forms a set with one of the second guiding elements (343, 41, 42), wherein the first guiding element (304, 343, 41, 42, 51) of the set receives the strip (9) from a first winding (W1, W2) in a first winding (W1, W2) direction and directs the strip (9) in a first transition direction (B1, B2) towards the second guiding element (304, 343, 41, 42, 51) which receives the strip (9) in a second transition direction (B1, B2) and directs the strip (9) into a consecutive winding (W2) in a second winding (W1, W2) direction, wherein the first transition direction (B1, B2) is different from the first winding (W1, W2) direction and the second transition direction (B1, B2) is different from the second winding (W1, W2) direction.The invention relates to a cooling apparatus (101, 104, 1, 201, 271, 2, 301, 304) and a method for cooling a continuous strip (90, 9), wherein the cooling apparatus (101, 104, 1, 201, 271, 2, 301, 304) comprises a cooling drum (20, 2, 3) and a guiding device (151, 304, 343, 40, 4) for guiding the strip (9) in a plurality of windings around the cooling drum (20, 2, 3), wherein the guiding device (151, 304, 343, 40, 4) comprises first and second guiding elements (343, 41, 42), wherein each one of the first guiding elements (343, 41, 42) forms a set with one of the second guiding elements (343, 41, 42), wherein the first guiding element (304, 343, 41, 42, 51) of the set receives the strip (9) from a first winding (W1, W2) in a first winding (W1, W2) direction and directs the strip (9) in a first transition direction (B1, B2) towards the second guiding element (304, 343, 41, 42, 51) which receives the strip (9) in a second transition direction (B1, B2) and directs the strip (9) into a consecutive winding (W2) in a second winding (W1, W2) direction, wherein the first transition direction (B1, B2) is different from the first winding (W1, W2) direction and the second transition direction (B1, B2) is different from the second winding (W1, W2) direction. When the temperature of ambient air is relatively low, thermal output and thermal efficiency of a micro gas turbine (1) decrease. In order to compensate for the loss of thermal efficiency, the micro gas turbine (1) is equipped with a valve mechanism (13) by means of which the operation of the micro gas turbine (1) can be influenced and optimized, particularly by regulating a supply of hot gas from the cabinet (14) and/or the exhaust (8) of the micro gas turbine (1) to an inlet side of the compressor (2).
