Abstract:
A lobe lance is disclosed for a gas turbine combustor which includes a plurality of N (N≥4) lobe fingers, each configured as a streamlined body with two lateral surfaces. A plurality of nozzles for injecting a gaseous and/or liquid fuel mixed with air are provided whereby lobes running between the nozzles are provided for improving the mixing quality and reducing pressure loss in said combustor. The lobes of each lobe finger have one of two opposite orientations with respect to said flow direction, and the lobes of all lobe fingers follow a predetermined pattern of orientation across the lobe fingers at least one pair of neighboring lobe fingers has the same lobe orientation resulting in a grouped lobe arrangement ( . . . LL . . . or . . . RR . . . ) such that at least two of the vortices generated by the lobe shape downstream of the lobe fingers combine.
