## Abstract

Disclosed is a fuel mixed injection method for a gas turbine. The method includes the following steps: arranging a secondary fuel injection nozzle and a secondary air injection nozzle on a secondary combustion section, wherein the secondary fuel injection nozzles is closer to a main combustion section than the secondary air injection nozzle; and injecting secondary fuel and secondary primary air in sequence through the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle, respectively, thus enabling the secondary fuel to spontaneously combust in a mainstream high-temperature flue gas atmosphere to form a transverse jet flame and increase the flame lift-off height.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A multi-nozzle fuel injection method for a gas turbine, wherein the gas turbine comprises an axial staged combustor comprising a main combustion section and a secondary combustion section, and the main combustion section is configured to produce mainstream high-temperature flue gas; wherein the method comprises the following steps:
arranging a secondary fuel injection nozzle and a secondary air injection nozzle on the secondary combustion section, wherein the secondary fuel injection nozzle is closer to the main combustion section than the secondary air injection nozzle; and
injecting secondary fuel and secondary primary air in sequence through the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle, respectively, the secondary fuel being injected into the secondary combustion section before the secondary air thus enabling the secondary fuel to spontaneously combust in a mainstream high-temperature flue gas atmosphere to form a transverse jet flame and increase the flame lift-off height;
wherein the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle are perpendicular to a mainstream high-temperature flue gas; a distance between the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle is set to be greater than 2d, and d is the larger of the diameter of the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the diameter of the secondary air injection nozzle.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the shapes of the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle are both round.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle have the same diameter.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method according to claim 3, wherein the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle each have a diameter of 1 mm to 5 mm, and the distance between the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle is 10 mm to 20 mm.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle each are cast from rare earth heat-resistant steel.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle are respectively connected to a secondary fuel supply pipeline and a secondary air supply pipeline, and the secondary fuel supply pipeline and the secondary air supply pipeline are respectively provided with corresponding flow control valves.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method according to claim 6, wherein the method further comprises the following step: adjusting air flux according to a combustion state.
