Abstract:
1. A gas turbine comprising: a turbine section; an annular combustor disposed upstream of the turbine section and configured to discharge a hot gas flow on an outlet side to the turbine section; an outer shell delimiting the combustor and splittable at a parting plane; a plenum enclosing the outer shell; a rotor; a turbine vane carrier encompassing the rotor; a plurality of stator vanes disposed on the vane carrier, and at least two sealing segments forming a ring, each of the at least two sealing segments having an inner edge and a head and a foot section and being movably mounted on the inner edge by the foot section to the outer shell and by the head section to the turbine vane carrier so as to mechanically connect the combustor to the turbine vane carrier, wherein the at least two sealing segments are mounted such that the combustor chamber or the outer shell have room for expansion relative to the turbine vane carrier independently of each other in an axial direction and in a radial direction, wherein the foot section includes a plurality of cooling slots disposed next to one another in a circumferential direction in the foot section, and each cooling slot extends from an upper surface of the foot section, to a front surface of the foot section, and from the front surface of the foot section to a bottom surface of the foot section.
