In a fuel lance by means of which fuels can be injected, via at least two separate passages, into a combustion chamber alternately or simultaneously at an injection location arranged substantially at the lance tip, reliable operation is achieved, without the risk of flashbacks and also without coking, by virtue of the fact that the fuel lance, in addition to fuel, also passes purge air to the injection location, and that the purge air, at the injection location, is routed between the two fuel systems, in such a manner that these systems are shielded from one another by the purge air.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for injecting a fuel/air mixture into a combustion chamber, the mixture comprising liquid fuel, gaseous fuel, and purge air injected through a fuel lance having a lance tip, two ducts for receiving the fuels, and a duct for receiving the purge air, with the ducts being formed by a central, inner tube and middle and outer tubes arranged concentrically with respect to the inner tube, the method comprising: routing the liquid fuel to the lance tip through the central, inner tube; flowing the purge air between the central, inner tube and the middle tube to an injection location proximate the lance tip, with the purge air and liquid fuel being injected into the combustion chamber, the purge air being injected substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis and surrounding the liquid fuel so that the liquid fuel is shielded from the gaseous fuel by the purge air; injecting the liquid fuel at the injection location in a direction that is oriented slightly radially outward and onto the purge air; injecting the gaseous fuel in a direction that is oriented slightly radially inward and onto the purge air. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the liquid fuel is injected in a form of an encircling, hollow, truncated circular cone that opens out toward the lance tip and at the injection location. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the purge air proximate the injection location is configured as a hollow cylinder disposed between the liquid and gaseous fuels. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the liquid fuel, gaseous fuel, and purge air are injected alternatively through the fuel lance. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the liquid fuel and gaseous fuel are injected simultaneously through the fuel lance. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the lance further includes a lance base, the liquid and gaseous fuels at the lance base are routed in the inner tube and in the duct formed between the inner tube and the middle tube, respectively, and the purge air is routed in the duct formed between the middle tube and the outer tube. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein proximate the lance base the purge air is diverted into the duct formed between the inner tube and the middle tube, and the gaseous fuel is passed into the duct formed between the middle tube and the outer tube. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the purge air is introduced into the duct formed between the inner tube and the middle tube through bores arranged in corresponding radial segments. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the purge air is introduced into the duct formed between the inner tube and the middle tube through slots arranged in corresponding radial segments. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the purge air is routed to the lance tip in the duct formed between the middle tube and the outer tube, in the region of the lance tip the purge air is diverted into the duct formed between the inner tube and the middle tube, and the gaseous fuel is routed into the duct formed between the middle tube and the outer tube. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the fuel lance is arranged on an axis of a premix burner and the fuel/air mixture is used for pilot operation of the premix burner. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the premix burner comprises a double-cone burner with downstream mixing section. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the premix burner comprises a double-cone burner without downstream mixing section. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the fuel lance has a first length and the premix burner has a total length, with the first length being about three-quarters of the total length. 15. A method for injecting a fuel/air mixture into a combustion chamber comprising: injecting a liquid fuel, a gaseous fuel, and purge air into the combustion chamber, alternatively or simultaneously, with a fuel lance having a lance tip and two ducts for the fuels, as well as a duct for the purge air; routing the liquid fuel to the lance tip via a central inner tube, with middle and outer tubes arranged concentrically with respect to the inner tube; flowing the purge air between the central inner tube and the middle tube and injecting the purge air at an injection location into the combustion chamber in a substantially axial and encircling manner to form a hollow cylinder between the two fuels in such a manner that the fuels are shielded from one another by the purge air; wherein at the injection location, the liquid fuel is injected in a manner which is directed slightly radially outward and onto the axial purge air, in the form of an encircling, hollow, truncated circular cone which opens out toward the lance tip; and wherein at the injection location, the gaseous fuel is injected in a manner which is directed slightly radially inward and onto the purge air. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the liquid and gaseous fuels are provided at a lance base and are routed with the liquid fuel disposed in the inner tube and the gaseous fuel disposed in a cavity between the inner tube and the middle tube, and wherein the purge air is routed in a cavity between the middle tube and the outer tube. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein directly at the lance base the purge air is introduced into the cavity between the inner tube and the middle tube and the gaseous fuel is introduced into the cavity between the middle tube and the outer tube, and wherein the purge air is introduced through radially disposed openings. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the purge air is routed to the lance tip in the cavity between the middle tube and the outer tube, and wherein in the region of the lance tip the purge air is diverted into the cavity between the inner tube and the middle tube and the gaseous fuel is routed into the cavity between the middle tube and the outer tube. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein the fuel lance is si-ranged on an axis of a double-cone premix burner and the method is used for pilot operation of the premix burner. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the fuel lance is substantially 쩐 of a total length of the double-cone premix burner.
