Abstract
A system includes a diffuser section comprising an outer barrel, an inner barrel, a seal interface, and an aft plate, where the outer barrel and the inner barrel are disposed about a turbine axis, and the diffuser section is configured to receive an exhaust gas from a gas turbine. The seal interface is disposed at a downstream end of the inner barrel between the inner barrel and the aft plate. The seal interface includes a first circumferential groove configured to receive the aft plate, where the first circumferential groove opens in a first direction away from the turbine axis.
