The design of a generic experimental LPP-combustor (Lean Premixed Prevaporized) is described. The combustor was tested at inlet pressures between 3 and 7 bar and with an inlet temperature between 500 K and 700 K. Tests were run with Diesel No.2 and Jet A-1 fuels comparing emissions of CO and NOx. The tests showed low NOx and CO values for a range of conditions although difficulties of using the LPP-technique close to the final boiling point of the fuel were encountered. To increase the understanding of the flow situation inside the combustor, numerical simulations using a large eddy simulation code was also performed. The main interest in the calculations was the evaporation process of the liquid fuel.
