Abstract
A film evaporating combustion chamber, especially for vehicle gas turbines, which includes a radial guide cascade as guide wheel connected upstream of the inlet aperture of an evaporator pipe, which serves for producing a swirl of the combustion air; a pipe-shaped air guide housing encloses the evaporator pipe and an adjoining reaction chamber; the combustion air axially entering into the air guide housing is fed to the radial guide cascade from the outside by way of a deflection device inserted into the air guide housing and the air, after leaving the blade channels of the radial guide cascade, is then deflected in the axial direction.
