Inventor is contemplated for why including the buner system of hole flame holder 102 and providing such clean combustion Various explanations.
In one aspect, it can not stablize even in conventional flame holder under the specified conditions of support combustion reaction, there is hole Flame holder 102 still functions as thermal source to maintain combustion reaction.Using the ability with using than usual feasible poorer combustion Material supports burning with oxidant mixture.Therefore, according to one embodiment, have in fuel and the contact of oxidant mixture 112 The average fuel of the point of the input face 212 of hole flame holder 102, fuel and oxidant mixture 112 is less than with oxidant ratio (routine) lower flammability limit-" lower flammability limit " of the fuel element of The fuel stream is defined when fuel/air mixture is in normal atmosphere The minimum fuel that fuel/air mixture will burn when being exposed to instantaneous point burning things which may cause a fire disaster under pressure and 25 DEG C of (77 °F) environment temperatures Concentration.
According to one kind explanation, by the one or more fuel and oxidant mixture 112 for thering is hole flame holder 102 to support Can be than providing the stable mixture more lean combustion (fuel-lean) burnt in normal burner.With being arrived close to lean limit The mixture at fuel-rich limit range center is compared, and the burning close to fuel combustion lower limit is generally fired under relatively low adiabatic flame temperature Burn.Compared with higher flame temperature, lower flame temp generally disengages the NOx of low concentration.In conventional flame, too poor combustion Burn through is often associated with the high CO concentration under stacking.By contrast, it was found that as described herein to have the He of hole flame holder 102 Include hole flame holder 102 system provide CO substantially completely burning (to the concentration that can't detect under units ppm, It is specifically dependent upon experiment condition), while supporting low NOx.In certain embodiments, inventor, which realizes, is understood to very poor Mixture under stacking (although only producing about 3% or lower measuring O2Concentration) stable burning.In addition, it has been recognised by the inventors that Perforated wall 308 may act as the radiator of combustible fluid.Alternatively or additionally, the effect can reduce burning temperature Degree.
Explained, if combustion reaction 302 occurs in one very short duration, can reduced according to another NOx generation.Conflagration causes reactant (including oxygen and the nitrogen carried under one's arms) to be short to deficiency exposed to the time of NOx formation temperature So that NOx Cambium periodicities cause NOx notable generation.Compared with conventional flame, reactant is by there is hole flame holder 102 The required time is very short.Therefore, the low NOx associated with there is hole flame holder burning, which is produced, (and to be carried under one's arms with reactant Nitrogen) it is relevant compared with short duration needed for hole flame holder 102 by having.
For CO is oxidized into carbon dioxide (CO2) for, because CO oxidation reactions are relatively slow reactions, examine Consider it is low-down measure (experiment and full-scale scale) CO concentration, through having the time of hole flame holder (may add from Have hole flame holder 102 towards flue elapsed time) it is clearly sufficient and in sufficiently high temperature.

According to more detailed description, step 402 is since sub-step 406, wherein being opened to there is hole flame holder to provide Energy.Start energy simultaneously or after startup energy is provided with providing, determine that sub-step 408 determines there is hole flame holder Whether temperature T is equal to or higher than start-up temperature TS.As long as the temperature for having hole flame holder is less than its start-up temperature, this method is just Circulated between sub-step 406 and 408 in preheating step 402.In sub-step 408, if hole flame holder extremely The temperature T of few predetermined portions is more than or equal to start-up temperature, then method 400 proceeds to step 404, wherein to there is hole flame Retainer provides fuel and oxidant, and by there is hole flame holder to keep burning.
Step 404 can be broken down into some discrete sub-steps, and at least some sub-steps therein can occur simultaneously.
Since sub-step 408, to there is hole flame holder to provide fuel and oxidant mixture, such as the institute of sub-step 410 Show.Fuel and oxidant can be provided by fuel and oxidizer source, the fuel and oxidizer source can for example including with for starting The fuel nozzle fuel nozzle different with one or more combustion air sources and combustion air source.In this approach, along Selected one or more directions output fuel and combustion air, to cause by there is the input face (example of hole flame holder 102 Such as, the mixture of fuel and combustion air 212) is received.Fuel can carry under one's arms combustion air, and (or alternatively, combustion air can dilute Fuel), for the fuel dilution for the stable combustion reaction selection being positively retained in the perforation of hole flame holder, to have The input face of hole flame holder provides fuel and oxidant mixture.
Proceed to sub-step 412, by there is hole flame holder to keep combustion reaction.
, can be from there is hole flame holder quantity of heat given up in sub-step 414.Can from the heat for having hole flame holder output For for example providing power, heated working fluid, generating to industrial process or providing power.

Proceed to decision sub-step 418, if sensing combustion instability, method 400 can be withdrawn into step 424, its Middle error process program.For example, error handler may include to close The fuel stream, re-execute preheating step 402, regulation Fuel and/or air mass flow or direction, export alarm signal, light standby combustion system or other steps.If in sub-step Determine there is the burning in the flame holder of hole to be stable in 418, then method 400 proceeds to decision sub-step 420, wherein determining Whether should change burning parameter.If no combustion parameter will change, this method circulation returns to sub-step (in step 404) Rapid 410, and the process that burns away.If it is indicated that the change of combustion parameter, then method 400 proceeds to sub-step 422, wherein performing Combustion parameter changes.After combustion parameter changes, this method circulation returns to sub-step 410 (in step 404), and burns away.
If for example, running into heat demand change, change burning parameter can be arranged.For example, if necessary to less heat (such as due to the industrial process output of the electricity needs of reduction, the power demand of reduction or reduction), then can be in sub-step 422 Middle reduction fuel and oxidizer flow rate.If on the contrary, heat demand increase, can increase fuel and oxidizer flow rate.Except this Outside or alternatively, if combustion system is in start-up mode, circulation that can be in step 404 once or To there is hole flame holder gradually to increase fuel and oxidizer flow rate in multiplicating.
