Abstract

The invention relates to an exhaust gas turbine, comprising a turbine rotor ( 12 ) having a plurality of turbine rotor blades ( 2 ) with a turbine rotor blade height H. The exhaust gas turbine further comprises a diffuser arrangement ( 20 ) having a transverse diffuser ( 1 ) and an exhaust gas collection chamber ( 9 ). The transverse diffuser ( 1 ) is arranged downstream of the turbine rotor blades ( 2 ). The transverse diffuser ( 1 ) has a curved diffuser channel ( 13 ) which opens into the exhaust gas collection chamber ( 9 ) at a diffuser channel outlet ( 17 ). A M/H ratio between an axial extension M of the exhaust gas collection chamber ( 9 ) and the turbine rotor blade height H has a value of 1.0≤M/H≤4.6 and a P/H ratio between a radial extension P of the diffuser arrangement ( 20 ) and the turbine rotor blade height H has a value of 2.7≤P/H≤4.9. A D/H ratio between a radial expansion D of the diffuser channel section ( 13 ) and the turbine rotor blade height H has a value of 2.5≤D/H≤3.0 and a R/H ratio between a turbine hub radius R and the turbine rotor blade height H has a value of 1.1≤R/H≤1.5.
