Abstract

Beschrieben wird ein Verfahren zum Betrieb einer Ringbrennkammer (13) sowie eine Ringbrennkammer (13) mit einer Vielzahl zirkular angeordneter Vormischbrenner (1,2 ), in denen jeweils ein Brennstoff-Luft-Gemisch erzeugt wird bevor es zur Zündung gebracht und als Heissgasstrom zum Antrieb wenigstens einer Turbinenstufe einer Gasturbinenanlage genutzt wird. Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass wenigstens ein Vormischbrenner (2) derart betrieben wird, dass er ein von allen anderen Vormischbrennern (1) abweichendes räumliches Mischungsprofil innerhalb des Brennstoff-Luft-Gemisches aufweist.

Figure 00000001
A method for operating an annular combustion chamber (13) and an annular combustion chamber (13) with a multiplicity of circularly arranged premix burners (1, 2) are described, in each of which a fuel-air mixture is generated before it is ignited and as a hot gas stream for driving at least one turbine stage of a gas turbine system is used. The invention is characterized in that at least one premix burner (2) is operated in such a way that it has a spatial mixture profile within the fuel-air mixture that differs from all other premix burners (1).
