A combined device is provided for positioning between the outlet of a gas turbine and a steam generator. The combined device acts as a sound-absorber and as a diffusor and is designated a gas turbine muffler. The gas turbine muffler has an inner zone which widens out in the flow direction S at a relatively large angle. Deflector elements arranged in this inner zone delineate diffusor channels, that are located between adjacent deflector elements. The diffusor channels widen out in each case at a significantly smaller acute angle of less than 7 DEG . In addition to decelerating the stream of gas and hence, in addition, increasing the pressure, the narrow diffusor channels also bring about sound-absorption by reducing the regions of turbulence, making the stream more uniform, and aligning the stream. As a result of the additional function of the gas turbine muffler as a diffusor, the separate diffusors, which were required previously and which claimed a large amount of construction space, can be dispensed with.
