加湿燃烧研究现状

首先从两个方面详细介绍了燃料加湿燃烧的研究成果,一方面是加湿对燃气轮机燃烧室内燃烧特性的影响,另一方面是加湿对燃料着火特性、可燃极限的影响。分析了目前加湿燃烧研究所取得的结论,空气加湿燃烧可以降低火焰燃烧温度、改变燃烧过程中的化学反应以及传热传质过程,影响火焰的流场和结构,使火焰趋于不稳定。同时燃烧区温度的降低有利于降低NOx排放,对HAT、IGCC等热力循环中降低NOx排放有重要意义,最后指出了目前加湿燃烧存在的不足,并结合本课题组的研究结论为后续研究方向提出了建议。

加湿湍流燃烧火焰稳定的速度场特性分析

1引言目前,湿空气透平循环(HAT循环)等先进热力循环成为人们研究的重点。此类循环在提高效率和减少NOX排放量的同时,燃烧火焰的温度降低了,火焰将愈加不稳定,所以对加湿湍流燃烧火焰稳定的速度场等特性进行研究是非常有必要的。目前燃烧实验研究大多是基于激光诊断测量技术基础     

大气温度对某型燃气轮机燃烧稳定性和 NOx排放影响的数值研究

为了对比扩散和预混两种不同燃烧模式下大气温度对燃气轮机燃烧稳定性和NO_x排放的影响规律,针对某重型燃气轮机燃烧室,对多旋流喷嘴燃烧室的燃烧稳定性和NO_x排放进行了数值研究。结果表明:对于扩散燃烧,大气温度升高,燃烧室内高频脉动增强,燃烧稳定性变差;对于预混燃烧,大气温度升高,有利于提高燃烧的稳定性;在扩散燃烧模式下燃烧室燃料喷嘴下游回流区的温度最高,NO_x生成量最大;预混燃烧下燃烧室头部温度分布较均匀,燃烧室NO_x生成主要集中在驻涡回流区和燃烧室中下游位置,燃料喷嘴下游回流区NO_x生成量很小;随着大气温度的升高,扩散燃烧和预混燃烧下燃烧室内NO_x的生成量均增加。研究结果可为指导燃气轮机运行提供参考。

基于反扩散火焰的低NOx旋流燃烧器数值模拟

采用非预混稳态小火焰模型（Steady Flamelet Model,SFM）耦合110步甲烷燃烧简化机理和Realizable k-ε模型对反扩散-旋流低氮燃烧器进行模拟,对比分析了不同旋流角度（30°,45°和60°）及过量空气系数（1.05,110,115和1.20）下燃烧时燃烧室内各截面轴向速度分布、中心截面温度及NOx质量浓度分布。详细研究了燃烧室内天然气与空气的燃烧特性及NOx的排放规律。模拟结果表明：随着旋流叶片角度逐渐增大,燃烧室内回流作用逐渐增强,导致火焰长度变短、燃烧室内最高温度及出口NO质量浓度逐渐降低;在旋流叶片角度为60°时,出口NO质量浓度仅为114 mg/m3;随着过量空气系数逐渐增大,火焰末端温度逐渐提高,导致燃烧室出口NO排放量逐渐增大;在过量空气系数为1.2时,出口NO质量浓度达到294 mg/m3,相比于过量空气系数为1.05时,其NO排放量增加153%。     

燃料热值对不同燃烧方式下燃气轮机燃烧特性的影响

针对燃气轮机运行过程中出现的燃烧不稳定和污染物排放高的问题,开展了燃料热值对不同燃烧方式下燃气轮机燃烧特性（燃烧稳定性和污染物排放影响规律）影响的研究。以某重型燃气轮机分管燃烧室为研究对象,在扩散燃烧和预混燃烧方式下,保持燃料流量、空气流量及大气温度等参数不变,仅改变燃料热值,采用数值仿真方法对燃烧室设计监测点处压力、燃烧室出口温度及污染物排放等数据进行分析。研究表明：在扩散燃烧方式下,热值较低时,燃烧室高频压力脉动较大,热值增加,燃烧室低频压力脉动先减小后增加;在预混燃烧方式下,热值增加,燃烧室高频压力脉动减小;在两种燃烧方式下,热值增加,燃烧室出口NO_x排放均增加,而热值变化对燃烧室出口CO的排放影响较小。     

氢混天然气燃气轮机加湿低氮燃烧性能研究

为了解贫预混燃烧室天然气掺氢加湿燃烧时的性能变化和容许加湿范围,解决氢混燃气轮机NO_x排放超标问题,以某燃气轮机燃烧室为研究对象,数值研究了掺氢比和加湿比对燃烧性能及污染物排放特性的影响。结果表明：燃料无加湿条件下,燃烧室出口CO和CO₂排放值随着掺氢比的增加而减小,较高燃烧温度将导致热力型NO_x排放值增加,掺氢比达到0.2以上时,NO_x排放已超出环保限值;燃料加湿条件下,随着加湿程度增加,燃气出口平均流速及水蒸气组分含量均增加,燃烧筒内全局温度、CO₂和NO_x排放值均降低,CO排放值先降低后增加;掺氢天然气加湿可实现低氮燃烧,考虑到低掺氢工况燃气轮机功率输出效能和高掺氢工况燃烧性能恶化问题,水蒸气加湿量不宜过多,当掺氢比为0.3时,推荐燃料加湿比为0.463。

Development of high intensity CDC combustor for gas turbine engines

Colorless distributed combustion (CDC) has been demonstrated to provide ultra-low emission of NOx and CO, improved pattern factor and reduced combustion noise in high intensity gas turbine combustors. The key feature to achieve CDC is the controlled flow distribution, reduce ignition delay, and high speed injection of air and fuel jets and their controlled mixing to promote distributed reaction zone in the entire combustion volume without any flame stabilizer. Large gas recirculation and high turbulent mixing rates are desirable to achieve distributed reactions thus avoiding hot spot zones in the flame. The high temperature air combustion (HiTAC) technology has been successfully demonstrated in industrial furnaces which inherently possess low heat release intensity. However, gas turbine combustors operate at high heat release intensity and this result in many challenges for combustor design, which include lower residence time, high flow velocity and difficulty to contain the flame within a given volume. The focus here is on colorless distributed combustion for stationary gas turbine applications. In the first part of investigation effect of fuel injection diameter and air injection diameter is investigated in detail to elucidate the effect fuel/air mixing and gas recirculation on characteristics of CDC at relatively lower heat release intensity of 5 MW/m³ atm. Based on favorable conditions at lower heat release intensity the effect of confinement size (reduction in combustor volume at same heat load) is investigated to examine heat release intensity up to 40 MW/m³ atm. Three confinement sizes with same length and different diameters resulting in heat release intensity of 20 MW/m³ atm, 30 MW/m³ atm and 40 MW/m³ atm have been investigated. Both non-premixed and premixed modes were examined for the range of heat release intensities. The heat load for the combustor was 25 kW with methane fuel. The air and fuel injection temperature was at normal 300 K. The combustor was operated at 1 atm pressure. The results were evaluated for flow field, fuel/air mixing and gas recirculation from numerical simulations and global flame images, and emissions of NO, CO from experiments. It was observed that the larger air injection diameter resulted in significantly higher levels of NO and CO whereas increase in fuel injection diameter had minimal effect on the NO and resulted in small increase of CO emissions. Increase in heat release intensity had minimal effect on NO emissions, however it resulted in significantly higher CO emissions. The premixed combustion mode resulted in ultra-low NO levels (<1 ppm) and NO emission as low as 5 ppm was obtained with the non-premixed flame mode.     

空气分级比对同轴分级燃烧室性能参数的影响

为掌握同轴分级燃烧室性能参数随空气分级比(主燃级空气流量的比值)的变化规律,以某同轴分级燃烧室为研究对象,数值分析了空气分级比对燃烧室的燃烧效率、总压损失、出口温度分布、污染物排放和绝热壁面最高温度的影响。结果表明：空气分级比主要会改变角涡位置的燃烧温度和高温烟气的停留时间;随着空气分级比的升高,燃烧室总压损失、出口温度分布系数、NO_x排放、绝热壁面最高温度逐渐升高,但燃烧效率、CO污染物排放、径向温度分布系数对空气分级比不敏感;在同轴分级燃烧室设计中,在保证燃烧稳定的前提下可采用较小的空气分级比以实现燃烧室高效、低阻、低污染燃烧。     

Experimental Investigations on NOx Emission and Combustion Dynamics in an Axial Fuel Staging Combustor

Axial Fuel Staging(AFS)technology is an advanced low-emission combustion method in modem gas turbine,which divides the combustor into two axially arranged combustion zones.For revealing the characteristics of axial staged combustion,an industrial-grade combustor was designed and built.The distribution of temperature and velocity field in the combustor was presented with numerical simulation.And an Atmospheric Combustor Test Rig for axial staged combustion was built.The flow resistance characteristics of the combustor were measured at first.Then the effects of the equivalent ratio and the preheating temperature on the pollutant emission and combustion instability were investigated.The results show that the total pressure recovery coefficient in cold state is always above 98%;starting the secondary combustion at low load can reduce NO emissions by 50%,and can suppress the combustion oscillation amplitude of the combustor.At the design point with φ=0.62 and preheating temperature=400°C,NO emission and CO emission are 15.68 and 4.22 mg/m³(@15%O₂).     

Distributed swirl combustion for gas turbine application

Colorless distributed combustion (CDC) has been shown to provide significant improvement in gas turbine combustor performance. Colorless distributed combustion with swirl is investigated here to develop ultra-low emissions of NO and CO, and significantly improved pattern factor. Experimental investigations have been performed using a cylindrical geometry combustor with swirling air injection and axial hot gas exit stream from the combustor. Air was injected tangentially to impart swirl to the flow inside the combustor. The results obtained from the combustor have demonstrated very low levels of NO (∼3 PPM) and CO (∼70 PPM) emissions at an equivalence ratio of 0.7 and a high heat release intensity of 36 MW/m³-atm under non-premixed combustion. To further simulate gas turbine operating conditions, inlet air to the combustor was preheated to 600 K temperature and the combustor operated at 2 atm pressure. Results showed very low levels of CO (∼10 PPM) but the NO increased somewhat to ∼10 PPM at an equivalence ratio of 0.5 and heat release intensity of 22.5 MW/m³-atm under non-premixed combustion conditions. For premixed combustion, the combustor demonstrated low levels of both NO (5 PPM) and CO (8 PPM) at an equivalence ratio of 0.6 and a heat release intensity of 27 MW/m³-atm. Results are reported at different equivalence ratios on the emission of NO and CO, lean stability limit and OH^* chemiluminescence. These results suggest that further performance improvement can be achieved with improved fuel mixture preparation prior to the ignition of fuel at higher operational pressures using swirling combustor design for our quest to develop ultra low emission high intensity combustor for gas turbine application.     

Numerical simulation on pulverized coal combustion and NOx emissions in high temperature air from circulating fluidized bed

High temperature air combustion is a prospecting technology in energy saving and pollutants reduction. Numerical simulation on pulverized coal combustion and NOx emissions in high temperature air from circulating fluidized bed was presented. The down-fired combustor, taken as the calculation domain, has the diameter of 220 mm and the height of 3000 mm. 2 cases with air staging combustion are simulated. Compared the simulation results with experimental data, there is a good agreement. It is found that the combustion model and NOx formation model are applicable to simulate the pulverized coal combustion and NOx emissions in high temperature air from circulating fluidized bed. The results show that there is a uniform temperature profile along the axis of the down-fired combustor. The NOx emissions are lower than those of ordinary pulverized coal combustion, and the NOx emissions are 390 mg/m3 and 352 mg/m3 in Case 1 and Case 2, respectively. At the range of 300-600 mm below the nozzle, the NO concentration decreases, mainly resulting from some homogeneous reactions and heterogeneous reaction. NO concentration has a little increase at the position of 800 mm below the nozzle as the tertiary air supplied to the combustor at the position of 600 mm below the nozzle.

Effects of spray characteristics on combustion performance of a liquid fuel spray in a gas turbine combustor

Spray characteristics like mean drop diameter and spray cone angle play an important role in the process of combustion within a gas turbine combustor. In order to study their effects on wall and exit temperature distributions and combustion efficiency in the combustor, a numerical model of a typical diffusion controlled spray combustion in a can‐type gas turbine combustion chamber has been made. A simple k–ϵ model with wall function treatment for near‐wall region has been adopted for the solution of conservation equations in carrier phase. The initial spray parameters are specified by a suitable PDF for size distribution and a given spray cone angle. A radiation model for the gas phase, based on modified first order moment method, and in consideration of the gas phase as a grey absorbing–emitting medium, has been adopted in the analysis. It has been recognized that an increase in mean drop diameter improves the pattern factor. However, the combustion efficiency attains its maximum at an optimum value of the mean diameter. Higher spray cone angle increases the combustion efficiency and improves the pattern factor, but at the same time, increases the wall temperature. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
