Abstract

The present invention relates to a burner system, in particular for a gas turbine, with a main supply channel (2), debouching into a combustion chamber (1), for a fuel/air mixture having a swirler (5) and a burner lance (3) which passes through the swirler (5). To improve the transverse ignition properties between several such burner systems, optionally disposed on the burner chamber (1), and also to increase the flame stability, the burner lance (3) has, on the combustion chamber side with respect to the swirler (5) exit openings (12, 16) for fuel supplied to its interior or for a fuel-rich fuel/air mixture supplied to, or formed in, its interior.
