Definitions
- the present invention relates to a combustion chamber for gas turbines according to the first part of claim 1. It also relates to a method for operating such a combustion chamber.
- combustion chambers with a number of burner elements distributed over the circumference of an essentially circular-cylindrical combustion chamber are known under the name “annular combustion chambers”.
- ring combustion chambers Compared to single combustion chambers, ring combustion chambers have the advantage of enabling a more compact overall construction of the gas turbine.
- the smaller dimensions result in general cost advantages in production.
- the smaller surface area of an annular combustion chamber also means that the cooling problems can be better mastered.
- the main disadvantages of this conventional design result from the necessity of distributing the power to individual burner elements, particularly when oil atomization and oil supply are problematic.
- Another disadvantage is the difficulty of the burners in achieving a temperature distribution that is as uniform as possible within a short barrel length.
- annular combustion chamber which is provided with a number of centrically symmetrical swirl bodies at its air inflow-side and front-side end. These are always arranged in pairs and it can be seen there that the swirl bodies are able to produce swirl flows with an opposite direction of rotation.
- This publication also shows the interaction of the burner elements with the swirl bodies, wherein the burner element and swirl body can be integrated in a premixing tube. In the meantime, the swirl bodies are arranged in such a way that the individual swirl jets or swirl flows are only able to influence one another weakly.
- the technology proposed here means that the desired vortex-free flow with a uniform total pressure cannot occur within the length of the combustion chamber: A uniform temperature distribution at the turbine inlet is therefore not guaranteed.
- This disadvantage could be counteracted by an appropriate extension of the combustion chamber length. With this measure, however, other disadvantages would have to be accepted. So the constructional disadvantages caused by the extension of the combustion chamber length.
- the impossibility of complying with the NO x emission tolerated by law is more serious here. The reason for this is that low NoX emission values - apart from the influence of an excessively high temperature - can only be maintained if the time of the gas particles in hot oxygen-free zones is as short as possible, namely not more than a few milliseconds.
- the temperature in the reaction area must not fall below a certain limit. This requirement places a limit on small sizes.
- the invention seeks to remedy this.
- the invention is based on the object of minimizing the CO and NO x emissions in a combustion chamber of the type mentioned.
- the combustion chamber should be characterized by a compact design with low pressure loss.
- the object of the invention is to provide a uniform temperature distribution in the gas flow at the turbine inlet.
- the objectives of the invention are achieved solely in that strongly swirled flows with opposite directions of rotation are brought to collision in a mirror-symmetrical arrangement in a small space, in such a way that the two swirl flows neutralize each other with regard to their swirl and that there is only one after the collision chamber short mixing chamber - with a length that corresponds approximately to the hydraulic diameter or the clear width of the mixing chamber - so that the desired homogeneous temperature distribution in the gas flow can occur before turbine entry.
- Another advantage of the invention is that the permissible air ratio range of the individual burners can be maintained by the staged mode of operation of the individual pairs of burners. This regulation can further be supported by different mass flow effects on the individual mirror elements arranged in mirror symmetry. If this latter option becomes independent, the entire operating range of the combustion chamber can be covered by a few switching stages.
- Fig. 1 shows a combustion chamber for gas turbines, which is housed in the GT ring housing 1. If the entire combustion chamber is embedded in a GT ring housing 1, it is connected to the compressor outlet 16 and turbine inlet 17. In this case, the GT ring housing wall bears the difference between the compressor end pressure and ambient pressure.
- the geometrical shape of the combustion chamber is, as the axial section 18 symbolizes, circular-cylindrical and consists of two reaction chambers 8 arranged symmetrically on the end side, with respect to the central axis of the collision chamber 12, and the collision chamber 12 placed between them.
- the reaction chambers 8 themselves are at their two ends a number of burner elements A, B arranged axially parallel, depending on the performance of the combustion chamber.
- the two burner elements A, B which are each mirror-symmetrical to each other with respect to the central axis of the collision chamber 12, have the same structure except for the swirl body.
- the swirl body 6 in the burner element A is oriented in the opposite direction of rotation to the mirror-symmetrically arranged swirl body 11 in the burner element B, as the indication of the swirl flows 13 and 14 is intended to symbolize.
- the burner element A or B thus consists of a premixing tube 4, a fuel nozzle 5 - here a dual nozzle - and the swirl bodies 6 or 11 just mentioned.
- Such a dual nozzle 5 has been described in detail in EP-A-0095788.
- the dual nozzle 5 consists of a number of concentrically arranged ring cylinders: the compressor air 16 is enriched in the premixing tube 4 with gas from the dual nozzle 5 for the premix 3.
- the pilot nozzle 7 is also operated with gas. Then follows the inside of the secondary air nozzle 9, which surrounds the central oil line opening into an atomizer nozzle.
- the collision chamber 12 From the collision chamber 12 there is a radially inwardly directed annular mixing chamber 15, which then merges into the turbine inlet 17. Compared to the mixing chamber 15, the collision chamber 12 has a bulge 10 which prevents one-sided flow separations from taking place in the region of the entry into the collision chamber 12.
- the figure shows that strongly swirled flows with opposite directions of rotation 13, 14 are brought into collision in a mirror-symmetrical arrangement of the burner elements A, B in a small space.
- the swirl of the two swirl flows 13, 14 completely cancel each other out after a length which corresponds approximately to the inside width b of the mixing chamber 15.
- the flows are completely mixed according to this length, which makes a homogeneous temperature distribution at the turbine inlet 17 possible.
- the swirl body 6 shown in the burner element A is oriented not only in the opposite direction of rotation with respect to the mirror-symmetrically arranged swirl body 11 in the burner element B, but also with respect to the two swirl bodies adjacent on the end face.
- Fig. 2 shows largely the same combustion chamber as it was already explained in Fig. 1.
- a suitably strong swirl which can be achieved by an outflow angle of the swirl bodies 6, 11 of approximately 45 ° - paired with a nozzle-like narrowing of the premixing tube 4 after the swirl bodies 6, 11 - results in a stable backflow zone (vortex breakdown) in the Reaction chamber B is generated, which begins only slightly offset from the burner level 21 and which initiates the main reaction of the premixed air / fuel mixture.
- An initial ignition which stabilizes the entire ignition process appropriately and extends the limits of the backfire and the take off, starts from the pilot nozzle 7, which in the case of a premix burner consumes approx. 10% of the fuel and acts as a diffusion burner.
- the ratio of the dual nozzle diameter d to the premixing tube nozzle end D should preferably be in the interval 1/2 ⁇ d / D ⁇ 1/3.
- the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the reaction chamber 8 to the free flow cross-sectional area - between the dual nozzle 5 and the premixing tube nozzle end D - of the burner elements A, B opening there should preferably be at least 3, but not more than 8.
- the ratio of the mixing chamber cross-sectional area to the sum of the cross-sectional area of the reaction chambers 8 should be at least 1 but not more than 3.
- the length L of the mixing chamber 15 should one or two times the clear width b.
- the wall part at the transition from a reaction chamber 8 to the mixing chamber 15 should preferably have a radius of curvature R which is approximately one third of the inside width a of the reaction chamber 8.
- a wall deflection with the same radius of curvature R is provided on the opposite side of the mixing chamber 15, which leads to a bulge 10 of the collision chamber 12 on the outer circumference.
- This geometric fixation of the combustion chamber has the purpose of supporting the effects of the collision of the two swirl flows 13, 14.
- the combustion chamber is preferably operated in a stepped mode of operation.
- the staging sequence when using premix burners is selected as follows:
- the mixing mechanism which is triggered by the frontal collision of the swirl flows 13, 14, is so strong that hot and cold flows (eg stage 2) can be mixed without any problems.
- the aim is for the total amount of air supplied by the compressor 16 through the burner elements A; B to lead. If there is excess air that is not used for targeted film cooling of the combustion chamber walls, it can be introduced into the collision chamber 12 through nozzles 20. In this way, the excess air is mixed in optimally.
- the mixing chamber 15 is open down here in the axis of the mixing chamber 15.
- FIG. 3 is a three-dimensional simplified illustration of the combustion chamber according to FIG. 1.
- the separation-free circular-cylindrical combustion chamber consisting of reaction chambers 8 and collision chambers 12, merges into a likewise separation-free annular mixing chamber 15.
- the separation-free design shown here by a number of modular combustion chamber units. These units would then be arranged between the compressor and the turbine at regular intervals around the GT axis, the collision principle resulting from the arrangement of the burner elements A, B and the operating mode of the swirl bodies 6, 11 having to be maintained for each module.
- the annular-cylindrical combustion chamber changes into a cylindrical one, the cross-sectional relationships listed above being maintained.
- the individual mixing chambers 15 would of course then have to open into an annular collecting chamber before the turbine inlet 17.
- Fig. 4 shows how the individual burner elements A, B are placed on the end face of the annular reaction chambers and regularly distributed over the circumference. So that the individual opposing pairs of burner elements A, B, which indeed produce swirl currents opposite to one another in the direction of rotation, do not substantially interfere with one another in certain combustion chamber sizes, the swirl bodies 6, 11 in the individual burner elements A, B can have an alternating direction of rotation in the circumferential direction.
