Abstract
A combustion chamber includes a mixing zone and a combustion zone within which self-ignition of a fuel and air mixture can occur. Fuel and support air are injected laterally at the sidewall of the mixing zone into hot gases passing through the mixing zone. The operating range of the combustion chamber can be increased while noxious substances are reduced by injecting differently controlled fuel/support air mixture jets into different target spaces within the mixing zone.
