A combustion system with low pollutant emission, of the pre-mixing type for gas turbines, in which the combustion air passes from the interspace to the pre-mixing chamber via apertures in this latter, their degree of opening being varied, in accordance with the fuel quantity used, by corresponding apertures in a rotatable drum, and in which a series of small holes fed with additional fuel is provided in the interspace. Further flame stabilization expedients and differential cooling of the combustion chamber are also provided.

A combustion system for gas turbines, comprising: 1) a premixing chamber for mixing fuel, said premixing chamber having inner and outer walls that form an annular premixing zone therebetween, said annular premixing zone having a linearly extending portion of substantially uniform cross-section and a gradually tapered portion that terminates into a constricted outlet opening, adjustable flow means located in said annular premixing zone at said tapered portion to provide rotary movement to gases flowing through said annular premixing zone, and a plurality of apertures located in an upper portion of said outer wall; 2) an apertured rotatable drum circumscribing said upper portion of said outer wall, apertures in said rotatable drum and in said upper portion of said outer wall cooperating with one another whereby aperture flow area for feeding air into said premixing chamber may be adjusted in response to a pinion of an actuator associated with a gear sector fixedly mounted on said rotatable drum; 3) a combustion chamber having an upper wall section with a constricted inlet end and a downstream mid wall section containing deflector openings for air, said downstream mid wall section being coterminous with a bottom wall section having an outlet end for emitting combustion product, said bottom wall section containing dilution air openings to permit dilution air to enter said bottom section upstream of said outlet end of said combustion chamber to reduce the temperature of the combustion products leaving the combustion chamber; 4) an outer housing wall circumscribing and spaced from said outer wall of premixing chamber and said combustion chamber to form an interspace, said interspace extending above an uppermost end of said premixing chamber; and 5) means for feeding pressurized air along said interspace in a direction countercurrent to combustion products emanating from said premixing and combustion chambers.
