Abstract

The combustion chamber is characterized by an annular-cylindrical space, which consists of two reaction chambers (8), arranged at the end, and a collision chamber (12) placed therebetween. The reaction chambers (8) are fitted at their face-sided ends with a number of burner elements (A, B), arranged axially parallel, their number depending on the output of the combustion chamber, which burner elements are in each case mirror-symmetrical to each other in relation to the central axis of the collision chamber (12). From the collision chamber (12), an annular mixing chamber (15) goes off to the turbine inlet (17). Each burner element (A, B) is provided with a twist member (6, 11), which in each case is orientated in opposed sense of rotation compared with the mirror-symmetrically arranged twist member.
