Abstract: The disclosure concerns a heat exchange system or cooling system for a flow machine (10) having a cooling duct (30) with a coolant inlet opening (32) and a closure (34) for selectively opening the inlet opening (32). A component (38) is arranged to be fluid washed by flow along the cooling duct (30). A flow injector (40) is spaced from the closure (34) along the cooling duct (30) and oriented to inject flow into the cooling duct (30) in a direction that creates a negative fluid pressure downstream of the closure (34), wherein the closure (34) is openable in response to said negative pressure. The component may be a heat exchanger (38). The flow injector (40) may be fed by a compressor (14, 15) of the flow machine (10).
