Description

Technisches GebietTechnical field

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Vormischbrenner zum Betrieb einer Brennkraftmaschine, einer Brennkammer einer Gasturbogruppe oder Feuerungsanlage und ein dazugehörendes Verfahren, welche zur Verbrennung von Brennstoffen mit stark unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften geeignet sind.The invention relates to a premix burner for operation an internal combustion engine, a combustion chamber of a gas turbine group or furnace and an associated process, which are used to burn fuels with very different Properties are suitable.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Vormischbrenner, also Brenner, bei denen die Vormischzone ein integrierter Bestandteil des Brenners selbst ist und die sich durch geringe NOx-Emissionen auszeichnen, sind bekannt (EP-A1 0 321 809, 0 521 325 und US-A-3 982 392).Premix burners, ie burners in which the premix zone is an integrated component of the burner itself and which are characterized by low NO x emissions, are known (EP-A1 0 321 809, 0 521 325 and US-A-3 982 392).

Bei diesen Brennern wird sichergestellt, dass die Zündung des Brennstoff-/Luftgemisches an einem Ort vonstatten geht, an dem keine zu grosse Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Mediums vorherrscht. Zugleich wird dafür gesorgt, dass die Fortpflanzung der Flammenfont in Richtung des Brennerausganges, wo sich die Flammenfront einstellt, definiert erfolgt.These burners ensure that the ignition of the Fuel / air mixture takes place in one place which does not have too high a flow velocity of the medium. At the same time, it ensures that reproduction the flame font towards the burner exit, where the Flame front sets, defined takes place.

Bei den bekannten Vormischbrennern ergeben sich Probleme, wenn Brennstoffe mit stark unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften verbrannt werden sollen. Dann muss das Strömungsfeld so gestaltet sein, dass bei allen Brennstoffen sichergestellt ist, dass die Mischung vor dem Erreichen der Flammenzone abgeschlossen ist und die Flammen unter keinen Umständen an den Ort der Einmischung zurückschlagen. Zusätzlich dürfen in den Gebieten, die von der Flamme unter bestimmten Betriebsbedingungen erreicht werden, d.h. überall dort, wo ein Brennstoff-Luftgemisch vorhanden ist, keine ungekühlten Einbauten, wie Drallerzeuger oder Flammenhalter, vorhanden sein. Wenn z.B. im Gemischstrom Drallerzeuger angeordnet sind, ergeben sich die bekannten Nachteile, wie z.B. Belagsbildung oder Zerstörung der Drallschaufel durch Überhitzung.There are problems with the known premix burners, if fuels with very different properties to be burned. Then the flow field must be designed in this way be sure that all fuels are guaranteed that the mixture is completed before reaching the flame zone is and the flames under no circumstances to the Knock back the place of interference. In addition, in the Areas affected by the flame under certain operating conditions be achieved, i.e. wherever there is a fuel-air mixture is present, no uncooled internals, such as Swirl generator or flame holder. If e.g. Swirl generators are arranged in the mixture flow the known disadvantages, e.g. Formation of deposits or destruction the swirl vane due to overheating.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Vormischbrenner besteht darin, dass ihr Betrieb ausserhalb des Auslegungspunktes und bei Teilversagen, z.B. bei Leckagen im Kühlluftsystem, problematisch ist. Versucht man nämlich, bei Teillastbetrieb magerer zu fahren, verschlechtert sich bei den bekannten Brennern der Ausbrand und die CO/UHC-Emissionen steigen stark an (CO/UHC-NOx-Schere).Another disadvantage of the known premix burners is that their operation outside the design point and in the event of partial failure, for example in the case of leaks in the cooling air system, is problematic. If you try to drive leaner at partial load, the burnout deteriorates with the known burners and the CO / UHC emissions increase sharply (CO / UHC-NO x scissors).

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Die Erfindung versucht, all diese Nachteile zu vermeiden. Ihr liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Vormischbrenner für den Betrieb einer Brennkraftmaschine, einer Brennkammer einer Gasturbogruppe oder einer Feuerungsanlage und ein dazugehörendes Verfahren zu schaffen, die niedrige NOx-Emissionen aufweisen, bei denen Brennstoffe mit stark unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften problemlos verbrannt werden können und die Funktion des Brenners auch ausserhalb des Auslegungspunktes bzw. bei Teilversagen sichergestellt ist.The invention tries to avoid all these disadvantages. It is based on the task of creating a premix burner for the operation of an internal combustion engine, a combustion chamber of a gas turbine group or a combustion system and an associated method which have low NO x emissions, in which fuels with very different properties can be burned without problems and the function the burner is also ensured outside the design point or in the event of partial failure.

Erfindungsgemäss wird dies bei einem Vormischbrenner, bestehend aus einem Drallerzeuger für die Verbrennungsluft, einem sich daran anschliessenden konvergenten Teil, einer Engstelle für die Zugabe von flüssigem Brennstoff mittels einer zentralen Lanze und einem stromabwärts angeordneten Diffusor dadurch erreicht, dass der Drallerzeuger ein Doppelkegelbrenner mit angepasster Schlitzweite und fehlender Brennstoffeindüsung ist, und dass in der Engstelle Zufuhröffnungen für weitere Brennstoffe angeordnet sind, wobei ein Teil dieser Zufuhröffnungen radial ausgerichtet und für die Zufuhr von gasförmigem, staubförmigem oder flüssigem Brennstoff vorgesehen ist und mindestens ein weiterer Teil der Zufuhröffnungen tangential ausgerichtet und für die Zufuhr von mindestens einem weiteren gasförmigen Brennstoff vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, this is the case with a premix burner from a swirl generator for the combustion air, a subsequent convergent part, one Narrowing point for the addition of liquid fuel a central lance and a downstream one Diffuser achieved in that the swirl generator is a double-cone burner with adjusted slot width and missing Fuel injection is, and that in the throat supply openings are arranged for further fuels, one Part of these feed openings are aligned radially and for the Supply of gaseous, dusty or liquid fuel is provided and at least a further part of the Feed openings aligned tangentially and for feeding provided by at least one other gaseous fuel is.

Erfindungsgemäss wird dies bei dem Verfahren zum Betrieb des Vormischbrenners dadurch erreicht, dass beim Betrieb mit gasförmigen Brennstoffen, welche eine hohe Flammengeschwindigkeit haben, die Brennstoffe über die Öffnungen in der Engstelle gegensinnig zur Drallrichtung der Verbrennungsluft eingedüst werden, dass beim Betrieb mit gasförmigen Brennstoffen, welche eine geringe Flammengeschwindigkeit und einen geringen Heizwert haben, die Brennstoffe über die Öffnungen in der Engstelle gleichsinnig zur Drallrichtung der Verbrennungsluft eingedüst werden, und dass beim Betrieb mit flüssigem oder staubförmigem Brennstoff der Brennstoff in der Engstelle senkrecht zur Strömungsrichtung oder kurz vor der Engstelle mit einer zentralen Lanze in die verdrallte Verbrennungsluft eingedüst wird.According to the invention, this is the case with the method for operating the Premix burner achieved in that when operating with gaseous Fuels that have a high flame speed have the fuel through the openings in the constriction opposite to the direction of swirl of the combustion air be injected that when operating with gaseous fuels, which has a low flame speed and a have low calorific value, the fuel through the openings in the constriction in the same direction as the swirl direction of the combustion air be injected, and that when operating with liquid or dusty fuel the fuel in the constriction perpendicular to the direction of flow or just before Constriction with a central lance in the swirled combustion air is injected.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung sind unter anderem darin zu sehen, dass bei der Verbrennung von Brennstoffen mit stark unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften die Mischung vor dem Erreichen der Flammenfront abgeschlossen ist und die Flamme nicht an den Ort der Einmischung zurückschlagen kann. Die Hauptreaktionszone wird rein aerodynamisch, ohne die Brennerwand zu berühren, stabilisiert. Ausserdem gibt es keine Rückströmzonen, Stufen oder plötzliche Erweiterungen in der Flammenzone. Die Funktion des Brenners ist auch ausserhalb des Auslegungspunktes und bei Teilversagen gesichert. Weiterhin ist der Brenner in einem luft- oder brennstoffgestuften Verbrennungsprozess einsetzbar.The advantages of the invention include that when burning fuels with very different Properties the mixture before reaching the Flame front is complete and the flame does not reach the May interfere with the place of interference. The main reaction zone becomes purely aerodynamic without touching the burner wall, stabilized. There are also no backflow zones, Steps or sudden expansion in the flame zone. The The burner also functions outside the design point and secured in the event of partial failure. Furthermore, the burner in an air or fuel graded combustion process applicable.

Es ist besonders zweckmässig, wenn der konvergente Teil, die Engstelle und der Diffusor rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildet sind, weil dann Sekundärströmungen vermieden werden und vor dem Vortex Breakdown nur kleine Turbulenzen vorhanden sind.It is particularly useful if the convergent part, the Constriction and the diffuser are rotationally symmetrical are because then secondary flows are avoided and before there is only little turbulence after the vortex breakdown.

Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Querschnittsverlauf so angepasst ist, dass keine Strömungsablösung an der Wand möglich ist.It is also advantageous if the cross-sectional profile is like this is adapted that no flow separation on the wall is possible is.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, wenn der Vormischbrenner, insbesondere der Diffusor, konvektiv kühlbar ist. Dadurch ist selbst bei einem Anlegen der Flamme im Endbereich des Diffusors ein sicherer Brennerbetrieb gewährleistet.It is also advantageous if the premix burner, in particular the diffuser is convectively coolable. This is even if the flame is applied to the end area of the diffuser safe burner operation guaranteed.

Es sind nur die für das Verständnis der Erfindung wesentlichen Elemente gezeigt. Die Strömungsrichtung der Arbeitsmittel ist mit Pfeilen bezeichnet. It is only essential for understanding the invention Elements shown. The flow direction of the work equipment is marked with arrows.

Weg zur Ausführung der ErfindungWay of carrying out the invention

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Vormischbrenner, welcher zur Verbrennung von Brennnstoffen mit stark unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften eingesetzt wird, besteht aus einem Drallerzeuger 1 für die Verbrennungsluft 10, einem sich daran anschliessenden konvergenten Teil 2, einer Engstelle 3 und einem Diffusor 4. Im Drallerzeuger 1 wird ein Strömungfeld mit einem möglichst konstanten Totaldruck erzeugt. Aufgrund der erzeugten Wirbel kann man den erfindungsgemässen Vormischbrenner auch als Wirbeldiffusor-Brenner bezeichnen. Der konvergente Teil 2, die Engstelle 3 und der Diffusor 4 sind zur Vermeidung von Sekundärströmungen rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildet und in ihrem Querschnittsverlauf so angepasst, dass die Erweiterung gerade so stark ist, dass keine Strömungsablösung von der Wand erfolgt. Um die Reibungsverluste und die gegebenenfalls zu kühlende Oberfläche klein zu halten, ist die Länge der rotationssymmetrischen Teile möglichst kurz. Damit ergeben sich kleine Mischlängen.The premix burner shown in Fig. 1, which for combustion of fuels with very different properties is used, consists of a swirl generator 1 for the combustion air 10, a subsequent one convergent part 2, a constriction 3 and a diffuser 4. In the swirl generator 1, a flow field with a possible constant total pressure generated. Because of the vortex generated you can also the premix burner according to the invention as Designate vortex diffuser burner. The convergent part 2, the constriction 3 and the diffuser 4 are to avoid Secondary flows are rotationally symmetrical and in adapted to their cross-sectional course so that the extension is just so strong that there is no flow separation from the Wall. To the friction losses and, if necessary Keeping the surface to be cooled small is the length of the rotationally symmetrical parts as short as possible. With it result small mixed lengths.

Die Baugrösse des Brenners kann unter der Bedingung einer genügend hohen Reynoldszahl im Brenner und unter den Randbedingungen der gewünschten thermischen Leistung und der gewünschten Gesamtlänge beliebig gewählt werden.The size of the burner can be sufficient under the condition of one high Reynolds number in the burner and under the boundary conditions the desired thermal output and the desired Total length can be chosen arbitrarily.

Der Drallerzeuger 1 ist erfindunggemäss ein Doppelkegelbrenner mit angepasster Schlitzweite der Lufteintrittsschlitze 12 ohne die sonst übliche Brennstoffeindüsung vorgesehen.According to the invention, the swirl generator 1 is a double-cone burner with adjusted slot width of the air inlet slots 12 provided without the usual fuel injection.

Im konvergenten Teil 2 erhöht sich die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit, bis sie an der Engstelle 3 ihren höchsten Wert hat. Dort an der Engstelle 3, dem Ort der höchsten Strömungsgeschwindigkeit, erfolgt die Einmischung des Brennstoffes 9. Damit wird erreicht, dass sich der Brennstoff 9 schnell mit der Verbrennungsluft 10 mischt, die Mischung vor dem Erreichen der Flammenzone abgeschlossen ist und die Flamme unter keinen Umständen an den Ort der Brennstoffeinmischung zurückschlagen kann. Der zur Mischung erforderliche Brennstoffvordruck ist nur gering. Öffnungnen 13 dienen dabei der Zufuhr von gasförmigem Brennstoff 9, während eine zentral angeordnete Lanze 11 zur Zufuhr von staubförmigem oder flüssigem Brennstoff 9 vorgesehen ist. Die Zuführöffnungen 13 sind radial oder tangential ausgerichtet.In convergent part 2 the flow velocity increases, until it has its highest value at constriction 3. There at the narrow point 3, the location of the highest flow velocity, the fuel 9 is mixed in. It is thereby achieved that the fuel 9 quickly moves with the combustion air 10 mixes, the mixture before reaching the flame zone is complete and the flame under under no circumstances strike back at the location where the fuel is mixed can. The fuel admission pressure required for mixing is only minor. Opening 13 serve the supply of gaseous fuel 9 while a centrally located Lance 11 for the supply of dusty or liquid Fuel 9 is provided. The feed openings 13 are radial or aligned tangentially.

In der Mischzone, also dort, wo das Brennstoff-Luftgemisch vorhanden ist (Vormischstrecke 6, Hauptreaktionszone 7) sind keine Einbauten, wie z.B. Drallerzeuger oder Flammenhalter, vorhanden. Drallzahländerungen sind in Abhängigkeit vom Brennstoff 9 möglich ohne bewegliche Teile im Brenner. Es sind auch keine Rückströmzonen, Stufen oder plötzliche Erweiterungen der Flammenzone vorhanden, so dass eine gute Flammenstabilität (geringe Pulsationen) erreicht wird.In the mixing zone, i.e. where the fuel-air mixture is present (premix section 6, main reaction zone 7) no internals, e.g. Swirl generator or flame holder, available. Changes in swirl number are dependent on Fuel 9 possible without moving parts in the burner. It are also no backflow zones, steps or sudden extensions the flame zone in place, so that good flame stability (low pulsations) is reached.

Wegen der axialsymmetrischen Geometrie sind vor dem Vortex Breakdown 5 nur kleine Turbulenzen vorhanden.Because of the axially symmetric geometry are in front of the vortex Breakdown 5 only little turbulence present.

Die Hauptreaktionszone 7 wird durch die aufplatzende Drallströmung (Vortex Breakdown 5) rein aerodynamisch, ohne die Brennerwand zu berühren, stabilisiert.The main reaction zone 7 is due to the bursting swirl flow (Vortex Breakdown 5) purely aerodynamic, without the Touching the burner wall stabilized.

In dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird der divergente Teil der Brenners konvektiv gekühlt. Durch die kombinierte Brenner- und Brennkammerkühlung 8 wird erreicht, dass selbst bei einem Anlegen der Flamme im Endbereich des Diffusors 4 noch ein sicherer Brennerbetrieb gewährleistet wird. Selbstverständlich kann in einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel der gesamte Brenner durch konvektive Kühlung relativ einfach vollständig gekühlt sein, deshalb ist er auch für den Betrieb als Stufenbrenner in einem luft- oder brennstoffgestuften System, z.B. als erste, zweite oder dritte Stufe geeignet. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 the divergent part of the burner cooled convectively. Through the combined burner and combustion chamber cooling 8 is achieved that even if the flame is applied in the end area of the Diffuser 4 still ensures safe burner operation becomes. Of course, in another embodiment the entire burner by convective cooling relative just be completely chilled, that's why it's also for the Operation as a step burner in an air or fuel stage System, e.g. suitable as first, second or third stage.

Wird der Vormischbrenner mit gasförmigen Brennstoffen betrieben, welche eine hohe Flammengeschwindigkeit (kurze Zündverzugszeiten) haben, so müssen die Brennstoffe gegensinnig zur Drallrichtung der Verbrennungsluft 10 in der Engstelle 3 eingedüst werden (Fig. 2). Dadurch wird der Vortex Breakdown 5 stark abgeschwächt. Werden dagegen gasförmige Brennstoffe mit geringer Flammengeschwindigkeit und geringem Heizwert verwendet, wird die Flammenstabilisierung durch gleichsinniges Eindüsen in Bezug auf die Drallrichtung der Verbrennungsluft und damit durch Verstärkung des Vortex Breakdowns 5 verbessert.If the premix burner is operated with gaseous fuels, which has a high flame speed (short ignition delay times) the fuels must be in opposite directions to the swirl direction of the combustion air 10 in the narrow point 3 be injected (Fig. 2). This will cause the vortex breakdown 5 greatly weakened. In contrast, become gaseous fuels with low flame speed and low calorific value flame stabilization is used by the same direction Injection in relation to the swirl direction of the combustion air and thus by reinforcing the vortex breakdown 5 improved.

Beim Betrieb des Brenners mit flüssigem oder staubförmigen Brennstoff wird dieser im engsten Querschnitt, also an der Engstelle 3, senkrecht zur Strömungsrichtung bzw. kurz vor dem engsten Querschnitt mittels der zentralen Lanze 11 eingedüst.When operating the burner with liquid or dust This becomes fuel in the narrowest cross-section, i.e. at the Narrow 3, perpendicular to the flow direction or just before the narrowest cross section injected by means of the central lance 11.

Der Brenner ist ein multifuelfähiges System, denn wie aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht, können beispielsweise niederkalorige Brennstoffe 9a, Erdgas 9b und wasserstoffhaltige Gase 9c verwendet werden.The burner is a multifunctional system, because of how Fig. 2 shows, for example, low calorie Fuels 9a, natural gas 9b and hydrogen-containing gases 9c be used.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass er auch ausserhalb des Auslegungspunktes und bei Teilversagen, wenn beispielsweise im Kühlluftsystem Leckagen vorhanden sind, voll funktionsfähig ist. Schliesslich sind noch die geringen NOx-Emissionen hervorzuheben. Another advantage is that it is fully functional even outside the design point and in the event of partial failure, for example if there are leaks in the cooling air system. Finally, the low NO x emissions should be emphasized.
