Provided is a burner with a central
fuel supply arrangement (27), an annular
air channel (17) surrounding the central
fuel supply arrangement (27) for supplying
combustion air, and swirl vanes (19) disposed in the annular
air channel (17). The swirl vanes (19) have first gas nozzles (21) for injecting a gaseous fuel into the
combustion air, and second gas nozzles (23) for injecting a gaseous fuel into the
combustion air. The first gas nozzles (21) are fed from a first gas distribution channel (29) in the
fuel supply arrangement (27), and the second gas nozzles (23) are fed from a second gas distribution channel (31) in the fuel supply arrangement (27). The first gas distribution channel (29) and the second gas distribution channel (31) are supplied with combustion gas from a
gas supply pipe (41) which has a first
gas supply channel (35) and a second
gas supply channel (37), the first gas supply channel (35) being connected to the first gas distribution channel (29) and the second gas supply channel (37) being connected to the second gas distribution channel (31).
