Abstract
A fuel lance for spraying liquid and/or gaseous fuels into a combustion chamber, which fuel lance is provided with first means for the radial spraying of the liquid fuel from the liquid-fuel passage into the combustion chamber. The first means comprise a first guide tube, which, in the radial direction starting from the liquid-fuel passage, runs outward through a gas passage and an air passage. In addition, second means are provided, which comprise a second guide tube, which, in the radial direction starting from the gas passage, runs outward through the air passage and concentrically surrounds the first guide tube at a distance. Both guide tubes open in the region of a shell opening in the lance shell in such a way that the liquid-fuel jet discharging from the first guide tube discharges as a plain jet into the combustion chamber, and the fuel jets discharging from the guide tubes are surrounded in a sheath-like manner by the air flowing out of the air passage through the shell opening.
