<p>An ultra-low NOx gas turbine combustor having a dual fuel capability. The combustor has a plurality of venturis in flow communication with a corresponding number of fuel lances such that fuel injected from each lance into a corresponding venturi is mixed with high velocity air also flowing into the venturis. A vee-gutter flame holder is positioned downstream of the array of venturis for holding a combustion flame within the combustor at stable conditions. Due to the high velocities of the air-fuel mixture in the vicinity of the flame-holder, as a result of the fuel-air mixing in the venturis, destructive flash back conditions are obviated. A stable flame within the combustor provides for minimum acoustic disturbance and low overall pressure losses within the combustor provide for high operating efficiency levels of the turbine apparatus. Burning of the fuel in air at lean mixtures allows for minimal operation of a conventional pilot nozzle assembly so as to reduce the undesirable formation of NOx.</p> |
