Abstract

A method for operating a burner arrangement of a heat engine, particularly a gas turbine, having a plurality of burners, each having at least one pilot burner and main burner, in which method, on the basis of a preset operation of the heat engine, the total quantity of fuel supplied to the burners is maintained substantially constant in a load-controlled manner: in a first group of burners, for each burner, both the pilot burner as well as the main burner are supplied with fuel; in a second group of burners, the fuel supply to the main burners is interrupted, while the pilot burners continue to be operated; and the fuel quantity remaining as a result of the interruption of the fuel supply to the main burners of the second group is redistributed to the still active main burners of the first group. CO emissions are reduced as a result.
