Abstract

A premixture of compressed air and gaseous fuel is supplied and conbusted into a head combustion chamber of a combustor for gas turbine and main combustion of lean, low flame temperature is carried out in a rear combustion chamber following the heat combustion chamber to prevent the formation of high flame temperature which tends to promote NOx generation.
