Abstract
A lean-premix-prevaporization combustion system has a combustion chamber and a premixed injector that injects a hot gas, formed from the ignition of a lean mixture of air and fuel, into the combustion chamber. A pilot injector is mounted to the wall of the combustion chamber and injects fuel into the combustion chamber. Upon entering the combustion chamber this fuel ignites to form a fuel rich zone which stabilizes the flame in the combustor.
