Abstract
A method and a device for combusting gaseous fuel which contains hydrogen or consists of hydrogen, includes a burner which provides a swirl generator () into which liquid fuel is feedable centrally along a burner axis (A), forming a liquid fuel column which is conically formed and which is enveloped by, and mixed through with, a rotating combustion air flow which flows tangentially into the swirl generator (). The gaseous fuel is fed inside the swirl generator () largely axially and/or coaxially to the burner axis (A), forming a fuel flow with a largely spatially defined flow pattern () which is maintained inside the burner and bursts open in the region of the burner outlet.
