Abstract
A combustion chamber of a gas turbine combusts a fuel in the presence of combustion air. The combustion chamber is configured as dual-fuel combustion chamber, wherein the combustion chamber, in a gas fuel operating mode, is supplied with a mixture of a gaseous fuel and combustion air via a main swirl body. In a liquid fuel operating mode, the combustion chamber is supplied with a liquid fuel via an atomization apparatus and combustion air via the main swirl body. The atomization apparatus has an atomization lance with an atomization nozzle centrally arranged with respect to a longitudinal center axis of a prechamber of the combustion chamber. The atomization nozzle of the central atomization lance includes a swirl chamber and, downstream of the swirl chamber, a nozzle orifice. The swirl chamber is supplied with the liquid fuel via a radial swirl generator and an axial swirl generator.
