Abstract
A gas turbine engine having an axial flow compressor, an annular combustion chamber, a turbine, and a diffuser. The diffuser includes a flow-dividing element formed by an inner deflecting flank and an outer deflecting flank that divides a compressed gas flow into two partial flows at a branching point. The two deflecting flanks define: an angle of less than 90° along at least a portion of the deflecting flanks, and an angle between 15° and 90° between the deflecting flank angle bisector and the turbine longitudinal axis. The deflector also includes a main deflecting region arranged upstream of the branching point and directed at an acute angle from the turbine longitudinal axis toward an inner combustion chamber shell.
