The present invention relates to an exhaust collector conversion system and a method thereof. The system comprises an exhaust collector tunnel (32) configured to be mounted inside an exhaust collector (30) of a gas turbine (12). The exhaust collector tunnel (32) has a tunnel wall (33) configured to extend around turbine shafts (17, 19) of the gas turbine (12). The tunnel wall (33) has a variable diameter (98) along at least a portion of a length of the exhaust collector tunnel (32). 시스템은 가스 터빈(12)의 배기 수집기(30) 내측에 장착되도록 구성된 배기 수집기 터널(32)을 포함한다. 배기 수집기 터널(32)은 가스 터빈(12)의 터빈 샤프트(17, 19) 둘레로 연장되도록 구성된 터널 벽(33)을 갖는다. 터널 벽(33)은 배기 수집기 터널(32)의 길이의 적어도 일부분을 따라 가변 직경(98)을 갖는다.
