Abstract

In a power plant which consists essentially of a compressor (2), of a downstream combustion chamber (6) and of a turbine (8) acting downstream of the combustion chamber, a first injector system (5a) is provided in the region of the outlet diffusor (4) of the compressor (2). A second injector system (5b) acts upstream of a burner (100) of the combustion chamber (6). The driving nozzles of these injectors are loaded by steam (10, 10a) from a waste-heat steam generator (13). In the first injector system (5a), precompressed air from the compressor (2) flows into the catching nozzle; a liquid fuel (112) flows upstream of the burner (100) into the catching nozzle of the second injector system (5b).
