Abstract

Coke hereinbefore known to form in the secondary passage of a dual orifice fuel nozzle for the combustor of a turbine type power plant is prevented from forming by imposing increased air pressure in the secondary passage during its inoperative mode and when the primary fuel passage is in the operative mode, without relying on purging or requiring an external air source.
