Abstract

The invention refers to a combustion chamber device including a combustion chamber (2) and a set of burners (6) with an outlet opening (7) in the combustion chamber. Each burner includes members (10) for the supply of a flow of oxygen-containing gas, members (8) for the supply of fuel, and a space (9), which extends to the combustion chamber (2) for mixing of the fuel and the oxygen-containing gas. Each burner (6) is arranged to convey a substantially equally large flow of oxygen-containing gas through the burner to the combustion chamber. Each burner (6) is defined by at least one parameter including a characteristic length (a) of the space (9) along the longitudinal direction (x). At least the characteristic length (a) of at least one of the burners is selected in such a way that it deviates from the corresponding length (a) of another burner and in such a way that the influence of the oscillations which arise during operation of the combustion chamber device are reduced.
