Transitional Region for a Combustion Chamber of a Gas Turbine

The turbine has a blade (2) arranged downstream to a combustion chamber (9). A mini-heat shield (13) is fastened to a turbine carrier (4) and arranged at an upstream extension (4') of the turbine carrier or over a turbine carrier element at the turbine carrier upstream to the blade. The shield is arranged adjacent to a vane platform (3) in a flow direction (10) of hot gas between a heat shield and the platform. The mini-heat shield forms a flow wall between the heat shield and the platform. An upstream small gap (17) is formed between the mini-heat shield and the heat shield.
