A diffuser for a gas turbine including a support structure and a liner connected by holders. The liner includes a plurality of adjacent segments with overlapping borders. The overlapping borders are clamped to one another and slidingly rest one above the other.

Diffuser for a gas turbine

An exhaust gas liner for a gas turbine includes an annular inner shell and an annular outer shell, which are arranged concentrically around a machine axis of the gas turbine to define an annular exhaust gas channel in between. The inner shell and/or said outer shell are composed of a plurality of liner segments, which are attached to a support structure. To compensate thermal expansion and achieving resistance against dynamic loads, the liner segments are fixed to the support structure at certain fixation spots, which are distributed over the area of said liner segments, such that said liner segments are clamped to said support structure through a whole engine thermal cycle without hindering thermal expansion.
