Abstract
A gas-turbine engine combustor having a plurality of venturi mixers, each includes an air inlet connecting to an air supply path, a fuel inlet connecting to a supply source of gaseous fuel, and an air-fuel mixture generating passage connecting to the air inlet and the fuel inlet and merges with an air-fuel mixture generating section to produce the air-fuel mixture and a first nozzle opened into the combustion chamber at an end of the air-fuel mixture generating passage. The combustor further includes an ignition plug installed on a center axis of the combustion chamber, a second fuel passage for diffusive combustion which is formed around the body of ignition plug and is connected to the supply of gaseous fuel, and a plurality of second nozzles located around the heating elements of the ignition plug and open into the combustion chamber at an end of the second fuel passage, thereby enabling to enhance ignition performance and flame holding and to expand the premixed combustion range, while enhancing combustion stability at the time of combustion mode switching.
