Abstract
In a gas turbine combustion chamber with an annular flame tube, the latter is essentially composed of wall pieces (18) which overlap in the circumferential direction. The wall pieces (18) are elements, curved in the turbine axial direction, the cooling air being directed in a circumferential direction along the external sides thereof facing towards the collector volume (6). The cooling air flowing out of the overlap gaps (22) is deflected in a cascade (29) before entry into the combustion volume (15).
