Description

Technical Field

Background
In a gas turbine DLN (Dry Low NOx) combustor, uniformity of fuel and air premixing is a key factor in controlling combustion NOx emissions. Since thermal NOx is mainly generated in the combustion chamber of the gas turbine, the amount of generation thereof is closely related to the combustion temperature. Thus, when the average combustion temperatures are the same, the different uniformity of mixing of the fuel and air results in localized combustion temperatures in different regions that deviate from the average temperature, which is higher in some places and lower in some places. In the region of higher temperature, thermal NOx is generated in a large amount, and finally, the amount of NOx discharged from the outlet is greatly increased.
A nozzle of a combustion chamber of a gas turbine in the prior art generally adopts fuel injection holes formed in swirler vanes, for example, a lean premixed combustion chamber of a gas turbine is disclosed in cn201210337011.x, which is specifically configured as shown in fig. 1-2, each vane 002 of a swirler assembly 001 of the lean premixed combustion chamber of the gas turbine is axially provided with a swirler vane blind hole 003, two side walls of each vane are provided with a plurality of premixed fuel injection holes 004, the vane blind hole 003 is communicated with the premixed fuel injection holes 004, premixed fuel enters a fuel cavity from a premixed fuel introducing pipe 005, and enters a swirler passage 006 through the swirler vane blind hole 003 on the vane and the premixed fuel injection holes 004 on the vane, so that the fuel is mixed with air at the downstream of the swirler.
The prior art has the disadvantages that the number of fuel holes on the rotary blade cannot be too large and the positions of the holes cannot be too close to the inner surface and the outer surface of the premixing channel due to the limitation of machining, so that the fuel concentration near the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface of the premixing channel is higher, the flame combustion temperature is high, the heat release is more concentrated, and the NOx emission is higher when the combustion engine operates at the basic load.

The number of the fuel-air premixing pipes 3 is several, and they are distributed uniformly from the center to the outer side along the radius direction of the nozzle 100, and they are parallel to each other. Upstream of the fuel-air premixing tube 3, fuel injection holes 31 are provided for injecting fuel into the fuel-air premixing tube 3.
The gas turbine combustor nozzle 100 also includes a flow straightener bore 4 and an outer wall 5. The flow-adjusting holes 4 are arranged on the surface of the conical body on the inner side of the fuel flow channel 2, and are uniformly distributed along the radial direction from inside to outside in a plurality of rows by taking the axial direction of the fuel conveying main pipe 1 as the center. Air enters the gas turbine combustor nozzle 100 from the rectifying hole 4 at the air suction end and then is quickly divided, and the air and the fuel are uniformly mixed in the fuel-air premixing pipe 3.
The outer wall 5 is arranged downstream of the flow-shaping orifice 4, forming a nozzle chamber 6 around the nozzle 100. Air enters the fuel-air premix tube 3 from the flow-shaping orifice 4; the outlet end of the fuel flow channel 2 is arranged around the circumference of the outer wall 5. Fuel enters the nozzle chamber 6 through the fuel flow passages 2 and enters the fuel air premix tube 3 through the fuel orifices 31 (see FIG. 5).
Alternatively, the fuel-air equivalence ratio of the mixture in the fuel-air premix tube 3 is the same as the fuel-air equivalence ratio of the mixture in the combustion chamber.
Optionally, the gas turbine combustor nozzle 100 is manufactured using an additive manufacturing process.
When the nozzle of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine is in a working state, fuel enters from the fuel delivery main pipe 1, enters the fuel flow channel 2 through the fuel outlet 12, enters the fuel-air premixing pipe 3 through the fuel spray holes 31, and is mixed with air entering in advance to form a mixture, and the mixture is sprayed out from the fuel-air premixing pipe 3.
Example 2
As shown in fig. 3 to 4, the gas turbine combustor nozzle 100 is divided into three parts, namely, a fuel delivery manifold 1, a fuel flow passage 2, and a fuel-air premixing tube 3.
The diameter of the fuel delivery main pipe 1 is changed from small to large according to the fuel flow direction, a plurality of fuel outlets 12 are circumferentially arranged on a cylindrical structure with a fixed radius of the fuel delivery main pipe 1, the fuel outlets 12 are uniformly distributed in a circular ring shape at equal intervals, and each fuel outlet 12 corresponds to at least one fuel flow channel 2.

When the nozzle of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine is in a working state, fuel enters from the fuel delivery main pipe 1, enters the fuel flow channel 2 through the fuel outlet 12, enters the fuel-air premixing pipe 3 through the fuel spray holes 31, and is mixed with air entering in advance to form a mixture, and the mixture is sprayed out from the fuel-air premixing pipe 3. The output pipe part 32 of the fuel-air premixing pipe 3 is deflected by an angle alpha, and the structure can spray rotary airflow to the downstream, so that the premixing effect of fuel and air is effectively enhanced. Meanwhile, the structure can spray rotary airflow, and can replace a swirler structure in the traditional scheme, so that the mechanical structure of the combustion chamber is simpler.
Example 3
As shown in fig. 3 to 4, the gas turbine combustor nozzle 100 is divided into three parts, namely, a fuel delivery manifold 1, a fuel flow passage 2, and a fuel-air premixing tube 3.

The fuel flow channels 2 are radially arranged by taking the axis of the fuel delivery main pipe 1 as a geometric center. The fuel flow channels 2 on the same circle layer have the same axial angle with the fuel delivery manifold 1.
The number of the fuel-air premixing pipes 3 is several, and they are distributed uniformly from the center to the outer side along the radius direction of the nozzle 100, and they are parallel to each other. Upstream of the fuel-air premixing tube 3, fuel injection holes 31 are provided for injecting fuel into the fuel-air premixing tube 3.
Alternatively, the fuel-air equivalence ratio of the mixture in the fuel-air premix tube 3 is the same as the fuel-air equivalence ratio of the mixture in the combustion chamber.
Optionally, the gas turbine combustor nozzle 100 is manufactured using an additive manufacturing process.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the fuel-air pre-mix pipe 3 includes an intermediate pipe portion 33 located upstream of the output pipe portion 32, the output pipe portion 32 is deflected with respect to the intermediate pipe portion 33, and the output pipe portion 32 is deflected at a predetermined angle α in a circumferential clockwise or counterclockwise direction, forming a swirl structure. This structure makes the fuel-air mixture injected from the delivery pipe portion 32 of the fuel-air premixing pipe 3 form a circumferential swirling air flow in the downstream spatial direction, thereby enhancing the premixing effect of fuel and air.
Fig. 7 shows the angle of deflection a of the outlet duct portion 32 of each fuel premix tube 3 relative to the intermediate duct portion 33.
When the nozzle of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine is in a working state, fuel enters from the fuel delivery main pipe 1, enters the fuel flow channel 2 through the fuel outlet 12, enters the fuel-air premixing pipe 3 through the fuel spray holes 31, and is mixed with air entering in advance to form a mixture, and the mixture is sprayed out from the fuel-air premixing pipe 3. The output pipe part 32 of the fuel-air premixing pipe 3 is deflected by an angle alpha, and the structure can spray rotary airflow to the downstream, so that the premixing effect of fuel and air is effectively enhanced. Meanwhile, the structure can spray rotary airflow, and can replace a swirler structure in the traditional scheme, so that the mechanical structure of the combustion chamber is simpler.
Example 4
As shown in fig. 3 to 4, the gas turbine combustor nozzle 100 is divided into three parts, namely, a fuel delivery manifold 1, a fuel flow passage 2, and a fuel-air premixing tube 3.
The diameter of the fuel delivery main pipe 1 is changed from small to large according to the fuel flow direction, a plurality of fuel outlets 12 are circumferentially arranged on a cylindrical structure with a fixed radius of the fuel delivery main pipe 1, the fuel outlets 12 are uniformly distributed in a circular ring shape at equal intervals, and each fuel outlet 12 corresponds to at least one fuel flow channel 2. The fuel flow channels 2 are radially arranged by taking the axis of the fuel delivery main pipe 1 as a geometric center. The fuel flow channels 2 on the same circle layer have the same axial angle with the fuel delivery manifold 1.
The number of the fuel-air premixing pipes 3 is several, and they are distributed uniformly from the center to the outer side along the radius direction of the nozzle 100, and they are parallel to each other. Upstream of the fuel-air premixing tube 3, fuel injection holes 31 are provided for injecting fuel into the fuel-air premixing tube 3.
Alternatively, the fuel-air equivalence ratio of the mixture in the fuel-air premix tube 3 is the same as the fuel-air equivalence ratio of the mixture in the combustion chamber.
Optionally, the gas turbine combustor nozzle 100 is manufactured using an additive manufacturing process.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, in order to further promote uniform mixing of fuel and air, the intermediate pipe portion 33 of the fuel-air pre-mixing pipe 3 has a laval nozzle structure B. The Laval nozzle type structure B is an integrated structure formed by a contraction pipe on the left side and an expansion pipe on the right side. The structure can change the speed of the airflow due to the change of the spray cross section area. In this embodiment, the converging tube further promotes the uniformity of fuel and air mixing, and the subsequent diverging configuration facilitates reducing flow pressure loss of the fuel-air pre-mix tube 3.
Alternatively, the throat area of the laval nozzle may be adjusted to control the mixture ratio in each fuel-air premix tube 3.
When the nozzle of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine is in a working state, fuel enters from the fuel delivery main pipe 1, enters the fuel flow channel 2 through the fuel outlet 12, enters the fuel-air premixing pipe 3 through the fuel spray holes 31, and is mixed with air entering in advance to form a mixture, and the mixture is sprayed out from the fuel-air premixing pipe 3. The laval nozzle B of the outlet pipe portion 32 of the fuel-air premixing pipe 4 effectively increases the mixing degree of fuel and air by the contraction and expansion structure, and reduces the flow pressure loss of the mixture to the fuel-air premixing pipe.
Example 5
As shown in fig. 3 to 4, the gas turbine combustor nozzle 100 is divided into three parts, namely, a fuel delivery manifold 1, a fuel flow passage 2, and a fuel-air premixing tube 3.

Upstream of the fuel-air premixing tube 3, fuel injection holes 31 are provided for injecting fuel into the fuel-air premixing tube 3.
Alternatively, the fuel-air equivalence ratio of the mixture in the fuel-air premix tube 3 is the same as the fuel-air equivalence ratio of the mixture in the combustion chamber.
Optionally, the gas turbine combustor nozzle 100 is manufactured using an additive manufacturing process.

By adjusting L1 and L2, the fuel bundle rotation intensity can be changed.
Alternatively, the directions f1 and f2 of fuel entering the fuel-air premix tube 3 are perpendicular to the direction of air flow along the fuel-air premix tube 3.
