1 . A combustion chamber of a gas turbine with a combustion chamber wall to which effusion tiles are fastened which adjoin one another while forming a rim gap, with a seal being arranged in the area of said rim gap, wherein the effusion tiles at their rim facing the combustion chamber wall are provided with a bevel in order to form a sealing space, that a seal having a V-shaped cross-section is placed inside the sealing space and that the combustion chamber wall is provided with at least one recess to supply cooling air through the combustion chamber wall to that side of the seal facing the combustion chamber wall. 2 . The combustion chamber in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the seal can be brought into sealing contact with the bevels. 3 . The combustion chamber in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the seal is formed from a sheet metal material. 4 . The combustion chamber in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the seal has lateral sections which are arranged between the rim of the effusion tile and the combustion chamber wall. 5 . The combustion chamber in accordance with claim 4 , wherein the side sections are provided with retaining areas intended for positive engagement with the rims of the effusion tiles.
