Method and device for recursive sequential combustion

A device for providing recursive sequential combustion of fuel and an oxidizing agent, the device comprising:

• a combustion chamber having a combustion chamber entry and a combustion chamber exit, wherein compressed fresh air is the oxidizing agent and is conveyed into said combustion chamber via said combustion chamber entry, along a primary flow direction of the compressed fresh air through said combustion chamber from said combustion chamber entry to said combustion chamber exit, the compressed fresh air conveyed out of said combustion chamber by way of said combustion chamber exit;
• and
• said combustion chamber having burners, each burner comprising at least one injection opening, a burner entry and a burner exit, wherein a proportion of the compressed fresh air is supplied by way of said burner entry, wherein the fuel introduced by way of said at least one injection opening is combusted in each respective burner and exhaust gas from each respective burner is discharged from each respective burner at each respective burner exit, wherein each respective burner is disposed at an oblique angle in relation to an axial direction defined along an axis of the combustion chamber, wherein the primary flow direction of the compressed fresh air is substantially coaxial with the axis of the combustion chamber, such that part of the exhaust gas exiting each respective burner exit in said combustion chamber is imparted a tangential flow in relation to the primary flow direction, circulates in said combustion chamber, and enters a burner entry of a downstream burner of said burners so as to be mixed with the compressed fresh air flowing into the downstream burner such that recursive sequential combustion is achieved during operation of the device.
