Definitions
- the invention relates to an atomizer nozzle for continuous fuel injection, preferably in combustion chambers of gas turbines, with a central nozzle body for supplying fuel and an arrangement concentric with it for annular supply of air.
- An atomizer nozzle of the type mentioned in which the air coming from the compressor is guided in a ring in a concentric ring to the nozzle body and in the vicinity of the nozzle opening a swirl device is intended to improve the atomization (DE-OS 15 01 934). Since the air and the fuel move essentially in the same direction, the fuel and air are swirled at most in an edge zone of the fuel jet. The swirl device creates a pressure drop without achieving the intended effect.
- the invention has for its object to provide a simple atomizer nozzle for continuous fuel injection, which does not require any moving parts and ensures a high degree of atomization with little air addition.
- This object is achieved in that the nozzle body has a coaxial, open nozzle bore, that the arrangement for supplying air from a ring body with there is an internal annular gap which is arranged in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the nozzle bore, the air supply from the annular gap in this plane being directed radially symmetrically inwards, that the annular gap is arranged behind the nozzle bore in the injection direction and an interior space is formed between the nozzle bore and the annular gap which is connected to the surrounding space by pressure compensation openings.
- the atomization of a fuel jet is essentially based on the disturbance of the surface tensions of the liquid cylinder which forms after leaving the jet from the nozzle bore. If, for disturbing the surface tension, an air jet is used which, according to the invention, emerges from an annular gap arranged around the free fuel jet, so that the air hits the fuel jet in a vertical plane in a radial symmetry, then small amounts of air and a low air pressure and thus a low air delivery rate are sufficient to atomize one certain amount of fuel.
- An essential feature of this atomizing nozzle is that the fuel jet exits into a room which has the same pressure as the room into which the fuel mist is conveyed.
- the pressure equalization openings according to the invention are provided, through which the air delivery capacity required for atomization can be significantly reduced. While known versions 10 to 25 need for delivery rate for fuel atomization, the injection nozzle designed according to the invention comes with about 0.5 to 3.0 out. The atomization of the liquid is so fine that a liquid mist is created, the expansion of which is carried out by the supplied air. The guidance of the air and not the direction of the fuel supply thus gives the spray angle.
- the atomizer nozzle is composed of a single nozzle body with the central nozzle bore and a special ring body with an annular nozzle.
- spacers which are fixedly arranged on one or the other part or by means of interposed ones, pressure compensation openings between the two parts are formed by the gaps between the spacers when connecting by means of screws or rivets.
- the air is supplied through an annular nozzle which generates a sharp jet with a narrowed gap. This can further increase the atomizing effect.
- the injection nozzle is used in combination with evaporator tubes, such as those used in gas turbine ring combustion chambers, the generation of a fuel mist is only necessary in the starting phase. In all other engine operating conditions, the nozzle works as a simple one Spray tube that the air supply is switched off according to the invention. The fuel evaporation is then carried out exclusively by the heated evaporation pipes.
- the figure shows a section through an atomizing nozzle according to the invention.
- the nozzle body 1 with the central nozzle bore 2 and an annular body 3 with the annular gap 4 are connected by screws 5.
- Spacers 6 in the form of washers are arranged between the nozzle body 1 and the ring body 3, through which the pressure compensation openings 7 are created.
- the annular body 3 has an inner annular space 8, into which an air supply line 9 opens.
- the pressure compensation openings 7 represent the connection between an interior space 11 located between the nozzle bore 2 and the annular gap 4 and the surrounding space 10 located outside the annular body 3.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zerstäuberdüse für kontinuierliche Brennstoffeinspritzung, vorzugsweise in Brennkammern von Gasturbinen, mit einem zentralen Düsenkörper zur Brennstoffzuführung und einer dazu konzentrischen Anordnung zur ringförmigen Luftzuführung.The invention relates to an atomizer nozzle for continuous fuel injection, preferably in combustion chambers of gas turbines, with a central nozzle body for supplying fuel and an arrangement concentric with it for annular supply of air.
Es ist eine Zerstäuberdüse der genannten Gattung bekannt, bei der die vom Verdichter kommende Luft in einer Düse ringförmig konzentrisch zum Düsenkörper geführt wird und in der Umgebung der Düsenöffnung eine Drallvorrichtung eine Verbesserung der Zerstäubung bewirken soll (DE-OS 15 01 934). Da die Luft und der Brennstoff sich im wesentlichen gleichsinnig bewegen, findet eine Verwirbelung von Brennstoff und Luft allenfalls in einer Randzone des Brennstoffstrahles statt. Die Drallvorrichtung erzeugt einen Druckverlust, ohne die beabsichtigte Wirkung zu erzielen.An atomizer nozzle of the type mentioned is known, in which the air coming from the compressor is guided in a ring in a concentric ring to the nozzle body and in the vicinity of the nozzle opening a swirl device is intended to improve the atomization (DE-OS 15 01 934). Since the air and the fuel move essentially in the same direction, the fuel and air are swirled at most in an edge zone of the fuel jet. The swirl device creates a pressure drop without achieving the intended effect.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfache Zerstäuberdüse für die kontinuierliche Brennstoffeinspritzung vorzulegen, die ohne bewegliche Teile auskommt und bei geringer Luftzugabe einen hohen Grad der Zerstäubung sicherstellt. Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß der Düsenkörper eine koaxiale, offene Düsenbohrung aufweist, daß die Anordnung zur Luftzuführung aus einem Ringkörper mit einem innenliegenden Ringspalt besteht, der in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Achse der Düsenbohrung angeordnet ist, wobei die Luftzuführung aus dem Ringspalt in dieser Ebene radialsymmetrisch nach innen gerichtet erfolgt, daß der Ringspalt in Einspritzrichtung hinter der Düsenbohrung angeordnet ist und zwischen Düsenbohrung und Ringspalt ein Innenraum ausgebildet ist, der durch Druckausgleichsöffnungen mit dem Umgebungsraum verbunden ist.The invention has for its object to provide a simple atomizer nozzle for continuous fuel injection, which does not require any moving parts and ensures a high degree of atomization with little air addition. This object is achieved in that the nozzle body has a coaxial, open nozzle bore, that the arrangement for supplying air from a ring body with there is an internal annular gap which is arranged in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the nozzle bore, the air supply from the annular gap in this plane being directed radially symmetrically inwards, that the annular gap is arranged behind the nozzle bore in the injection direction and an interior space is formed between the nozzle bore and the annular gap which is connected to the surrounding space by pressure compensation openings.
Die Zerstäubung eines Kraftstoffstrahles beruht im wesentlichen auf der Störung der Oberflächenspannungen des Flüssigkeitszylinders, der sich nach dem Verlassen des Strahls aus der Düsenbohrung bildet. Benutzt man zur Störung der Oberflächenspannung einen Luftstrahl, der erfindungsgemäß aus einem um den freien Brennstoffstrahl angeordneten Ringspalt austritt, so daß die Luft den Brennstoffstrahl in einer senkrechten Ebene radialsymmetrisch trifft, so genügen geringe Luftmengen und ein geringer Luftdruck und damit eine geringe Luftförderleistung zur Zerstäubung einer bestimmten Brennstoffmenge. Ein wesentliches Merkmal dieser Zerstäuberdüse besteht darin, daß der Brennstoffstrahl in einen Raum austritt, der den gleichen Druck aufweist, wie der Raum, in den der Brennstoffnebel gefördert wird. Hierzu sind die erfindungsgemäßen Druckausgleichsöffnungen vorgesehen, durch die die zur Zerstäubung notwendige Luftförderleistung deutlich herabgesetzt werden kann. Während bekannte Ausführungen 10 bis 25
In einer besonderen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung ist die Zerstäuberdüse zusammengesetzt aus einem einzelnen Düsenkörper mit der zentralen Düsenbohrung und einem besonderen Ringkörper mit einer Ringdüse. Durch an dem einem oder anderen Teil fest angeordnete oder durch zwischengelegte Distanzstücke werden beim Verbinden mittels Schrauben oder Nieten Druckausgleichsöffnungen zwischen den beiden Teilen durch die Spalte zwischen den Distanzstücken gebildet.In a special embodiment according to the invention, the atomizer nozzle is composed of a single nozzle body with the central nozzle bore and a special ring body with an annular nozzle. By means of spacers which are fixedly arranged on one or the other part or by means of interposed ones, pressure compensation openings between the two parts are formed by the gaps between the spacers when connecting by means of screws or rivets.
Die Luftzuführung erfolgt in besonderer erfindungsgemäßer Ausgestaltung durch eine Ringdüse, die mit einem verengten Spalt einen scharfen Strahl erzeugt. Hierdurch kann die zerstäubende Wirkung weiter erhöht werden.In a special embodiment according to the invention, the air is supplied through an annular nozzle which generates a sharp jet with a narrowed gap. This can further increase the atomizing effect.
Wird die Einspritzdüse in Kombination mit Verdampferrohren, wie sie an Gasturbinenringbrennkammern verwendet werden, eingesetzt, so ist die Erzeugung eines Brennstoffnebels nur in der Startphase erforderlich. In allen anderen Triebwerksbetriebszuständen arbeitet die Düse dadurch als einfaches Spritzrohr, daß die Luftzuführung erfindungsgemäß abgeschaltet wird. Die Brennstoffverdampfung wird dann ausschließlich von den erhitzten Verdampfungsrohren übernommen.If the injection nozzle is used in combination with evaporator tubes, such as those used in gas turbine ring combustion chambers, the generation of a fuel mist is only necessary in the starting phase. In all other engine operating conditions, the nozzle works as a simple one Spray tube that the air supply is switched off according to the invention. The fuel evaporation is then carried out exclusively by the heated evaporation pipes.
