Abstract

In a pilot burner fuel nozzle for a premixed type combustor, diffusion pilot fuel injection ports (fuel holes 101) are disposed unevenly in the circumferential direction, whereby a nonuniform pilot flame is formed in the circumferential direction in the premixed type combustor. Thereupon, the heat is distributed in the axial direction, so that oscillated combustion does not occur, by which stable combustion can be maintained.
