A gas turbine includes an exhaust cylinder comprising an inner circumferential slot, a diffuser shell disposed at least substantially concentrically within the exhaust cylinder and one or more baffle plates extending between the exhaust cylinder and the diffuser shell, a proximal end of each of the one or more baffle plates being fixed to the diffuser shell by one or more holding rings and a distal end of each of the one or more baffle plates being slidingly received within the inner circumferential slot of the exhaust cylinder. The one or more holding rings are secured to the diffuser shell, at one or more holding segments disposed along an inner diameter of the diffuser shell, via a plurality of radially inserted fastening members.

1. A method of replacing a baffle plate extending in a radial direction between an exhaust cylinder and a diffuser shell of a gas turbine, the gas turbine having a turbine cylinder attached to the exhaust cylinder, the method comprising the acts of: unfastening and removing baffle-plate-holding-ring fastening members from one or more baffle-plate holding rings attached to the diffuser shell via the baffle-plate-holding-ring fastening members, the unfastening occurring in the radial direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the gas turbine;removing the one or more baffle-plate holding rings corresponding to the removed baffle-plate-holding-ring fastening members; andremoving the baffle plate corresponding to the one or more removed baffle-plate holding rings, the act of removing the baffle plate comprising disengaging a distal end of the baffle plate from an inner circumferential slot of the exhaust cylinder by pulling the baffle plate radially inwardly from within the diffuser shell,wherein the acts of unfastening and each of the acts of removing are performed while the exhaust cylinder is attached to the turbine cylinder. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the acts of: inserting a replacement baffle plate corresponding to the removed baffle plate;inserting the one or more baffle-plate holding rings corresponding to the removed one or more baffle-plate holding rings;inserting the baffle-plate-holding-ring fastening members, in the radial direction, into the one or more baffle-plate holding rings to attach the one or more baffle-plate holding rings to the diffuser shell; andfastening the baffle-plate-holding-ring fastening members to secure in place the one or more baffle-plate holding rings and the replacement baffle plate,wherein each of the acts of inserting and the act of fastening, are performed while the exhaust cylinder is attached to the turbine cylinder. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the entire method is performed by one person or by a two-person crew. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the entire method is performed in a period of less than 6 hours. 5. The method of claim 2, wherein the entire method is performed in a period of less than 6 hours. 6. The method of claim 2, wherein the entire method is performed by one person. 7. A method of replacing a baffle plate extending in a radial direction between an exhaust cylinder and a diffuser shell of a gas turbine, the gas turbine having a turbine cylinder attached to the exhaust cylinder, the method comprising the acts of: unfastening and removing fastening members from a holding ring attached to the diffuser shell via the fastening members, the unfastening occurring in the radial direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the gas turbine, the holding ring being directly attached to the baffle plate;removing the holding ring and the baffle plate simultaneously, the act of removing the holding ring and the baffle plate simultaneously comprising disengaging a distal end of the baffle plate from an inner circumferential slot of the exhaust cylinder by pulling the baffle plate radially inwardly from within the diffuser shell,wherein the acts of unfastening and each of the acts of removing are performed while the exhaust cylinder is attached to the turbine cylinder. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the entire method is performed by one person or by a two-person crew. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the entire method is performed in a period of less than 6 hours. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein the entire method is performed in a period of less than 6 hours. 11. A method of replacing a baffle plate extending in a radial direction between an exhaust cylinder and a diffuser shell of an industrial gas turbine, the industrial gas turbine having a turbine cylinder attached to the exhaust cylinder, the method comprising the acts of: unfastening and removing fastening members from a holding ring attached to the diffuser shell via the fastening members, the unfastening occurring in the radial direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the industrial gas turbine;removing the holding ring; andremoving the baffle plate, the act of removing the baffle plate comprising disengaging a distal end of the baffle plate from an inner circumferential slot of the exhaust cylinder of the industrial gas turbine by pulling the baffle plate radially inwardly from within the diffuser shell of the industrial gas turbine,wherein the acts of unfastening and each of the acts of removing are performed while the exhaust cylinder of the industrial gas turbine is attached to the turbine cylinder of the industrial gas turbine. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising the acts of: a replacement baffle plate corresponding to the removed baffle plate;inserting the removed holding ring;inserting the removed fastening members, in the radial direction, into the holding ring to attach the holding ring to the diffuser shell; andfastening the fastening members to secure in place the holding ring and the replacement baffle plate,wherein each of the acts of inserting and the act of fastening, are performed while the exhaust cylinder of the industrial gas turbine is attached to the turbine cylinder of the industrial gas turbine. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the entire method is performed by one person or by a two-person crew. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the entire method is performed in a period of less than 6 hours. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the holding ring is directly attached to the baffle plate so that the removing of the holding ring and the removing of the baffle plate are performed simultaneously. 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the industrial gas turbine is a 501F class gas turbine.
