Abstract
An apparatus for use in a system having a gas fuel supply and a combustor includes a fuel actuator, a controller; and a premixer. The controller generates a command signal indicative of actuation sought from the fuel actuator. The actuator receives gas fuel from the liquid fuel supply and provides liquid fuel at a modulated rate of flow in response to the command signal. The premixer receives the fuel from the actuator, mixes the fuel with air, and provides the mixture to the combustor.
