摘要

A method for supplying vaporized fuel oil to a gas turbine combustor. The method includes heating liquid fuel oil to a predetermined temperature below the carbonization temperature of the fuel oil to produce preheated liquid fuel oil. The preheated liquid fuel oil is atomized and then vaporized by direct contact with steam before being delivered to the gas turbine combustor.
