Abstract
Abstract An exhaust pipe (A) of a turbine has a housing (1). The walls of the housing (1) define a flow duct (2) accommodating therein a baffle (5) whose housing baffle (5) has a side surface (6) which is the surface of a body of revolution about an axis coinciding with the axis (7) of the turbine. The surface (6) has an inlet portion (8) having to a radius shorter than the outer radius R of the blades (3) of the runner (4) of the turbine. Mounted within the flow duct (2) are guides (10) supporting the baffle (5) which is adjustable along the guides (10) relative to the housing (1) of the exhaust pipe (A) axially and/or transversely of the axis (7) of the turbine.
