Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas turbine according to the present invention includes: a strut which passes through an outer diffuser and an inner diffuser, and connects an exhaust chamber wall and a bearing housing; a strut cover which covers the strut along the extending direction of the strut; a partitioning wall which is arranged between the inside of the inner diffuser in the radial direction and the outside of the bearing housing in the radial direction, of which the upstream side portion is sealed between the bearing housing and the partitioning wall, of which the downstream side portion is sealed between the inner diffuser and the partitioning wall, and in which a strut through-hole through which the strut passes is formed; and a hole seal member which seals a gap between the strut through-hole and the strut.
