Abstract
A burner for a combustor includes (a) a swirl generator enclosing a burner interior on an inlet side and including a tangential air inlet relative to a longitudinal center axis; (b) a mixing chamber enclosing the burner interior on an outlet side and defining a burner outlet fluidly connecting the burner interior with a combustion chamber; and (c) a lance arranged coaxially with the longitudinal center axis. The lance introduces fuel through a nozzle tip at or near the burner outlet into the combustion chamber. The nozzle tip includes a cartridge defining a center fuel passage; fuel swirl vanes within the center fuel passage at an outlet end of the nozzle tip; a first tube surrounding the center fuel passage and defining a first fluid passage; a second tube surrounding the first tube and defining a second fluid passage; and air swirl vanes in the second fluid passage.
