Claim:
1. A gas turbine comprising: a casing wall having a cylindrical shape centered at an axis and forming an outer shape of an exhaust chamber; a bearing case disposed inside the casing wall in a radial direction and supporting a bearing of a rotor; a plurality of struts installed on an outer circumferential surface of the bearing case at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction of the bearing case and connecting the casing wall to the bearing case; an outer diffuser installed along an inner circumferential surface of the casing wall; an inner diffuser installed along the outer circumferential surface of the bearing case; a strut cover connecting the outer diffuser to the inner diffuser and covering the strut from an outer circumference side of the strut; and a partition wall installed between the inner diffuser and the bearing case and covering the bearing case from an outer circumference side of the bearing case, wherein the gas turbine comprises: an inflow hole installed in the casing wall and taking cooling air into the casing wall from the outside, the inflow hole having a cover member which has a plurality of through holes capable of adjusting a flow passage area of the cooling air supplied according to opening areas of the through holes; a first flow passage formed between the casing wall and the outer diffuser and communicated with the inflow hole to allow the cooling air to flow therethrough; a second flow passage communicated with the first flow passage to allow the cooling air to flow therethrough, the second flow passage having a first flow rate adjustment device which is formed between the strut and the strut cover and which is installed so as to protrude from an inner circumferential surface of the strut cover, to be fixed to whole circumference of the strut cover, and to have a space between the strut and the first flow rate adjustment device; and a third flow passage communicated with the second flow passage at an upstream side in the flow direction of the cooling air, the third flow passage having an outflow hole which is formed between the inner diffuser and the partition wall and which is an opening portion installed at an inlet of the diffuser at a downstream side in a flow direction of the cooling air, wherein the plurality of through holes is arranged at predetermined intervals on a circumference having a constant radius from a center of the cover member.
