Abstract
A combustion chamber for a gas turbine using hydrogen as fuel, is equipped with an evaporator for liquid hydrogen which converts the hydrogen into its gaseous form that is fed directly or for instance via an external control valve into the combustor. The evaporator covers and protects at least a portion of the inner and/or outer wall that encloses the combustion chamber, whereby the evaporator also cools the combustion chamber while converting the liquid hydrogen to gaseous hydrogen.
