ABSTRACT This paper describes a reduced NO R diffusion flame combustor that has been developed for the MS5002 gas turbine. Laboratory tests have shown that when firing with natural gas, without water or steam injection, NO1 emissions from the new combustor are about 40% lower than NOR emissions from...
