Description

Technisches GebietTechnical field

Die Erfindung betrifft eine zweistufige Druckzerstäuberdüse gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, welche beispielsweise in den Vormischbrennem einer Gasturbinenanlage zum Einsatz kommt.The invention relates to a two-stage pressure atomizing nozzle according to the preamble of claim 1, which, for example, in the premix burners of a gas turbine plant is used.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Mit den wachsenden Betriebsdrücken moderner Gasturbinen wird eine gute Verteilung des Flüssigbrennstoffs mehr und mehr zum Problem. Die Gründe dafür liegen hauptsächlich in der ansteigenden Luftdichte und in deren Impuls, die einen grösseren Einfluss auf Verteilung der Brennstofftröpfchen besitzen.With the increasing operating pressures of modern gas turbines, a good distribution becomes of liquid fuel is becoming a problem. The reasons are mainly in the increasing air density and in its momentum, which some have greater influence on the distribution of the fuel droplets.

Die EP 0 794 383 A2 weist eine zweistufige Druckzerstäuberdüse auf, welche eine Anpassung des Tropfensprays hinsichtlich der Zerstäubungsgüte, der Tropfengrösse und des Spraywinkels an die jeweiligen Lastbedingungen ermöglicht. Weiterhin zeichnet sich die Düse durch eine einfache, nur wenig Platz benötigende Bauart aus. Dazu umfasst sie einen Düsenkörper mit einer im Inneren ausgebildeten und über eine Düsenbohrung mit einem Aussenraum in Verbindung stehenden Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammer. Zudem besitzt die Druckzerstäuberdüse mindestens einen ersten Kanal für die zu zerstäubende Flüssigkeit, durch welchen letztere unter Druck zuführbar ist. In die Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammer mündet mindestens ein weiterer Kanal für einen Teil der zu zerstäubende Flüssigkeit bzw. für eine zweite zu zerstäubende Flüssigkeit, durch welchen besagter Teil der Flüssigkeit bzw. die zweite Flüssigkeit unter Druck und mit Drall zuführbar ist.EP 0 794 383 A2 has a two-stage pressure atomizing nozzle, which one Adjustment of the drop spray with regard to the atomization quality, the drop size and the spray angle to the respective load conditions. Farther the nozzle is characterized by a simple, little space requirement Type out. For this purpose, it comprises a nozzle body with an inside and communicating with an outside space via a nozzle bore Turbulence and / or swirl chamber. In addition, the pressure atomizer nozzle has at least a first channel for the liquid to be atomized, through which the latter can be fed under pressure. Opens into the turbulence and / or swirl chamber at least one further channel for part of the liquid to be atomized or for a second liquid to be atomized, through which said part of the Liquid or the second liquid can be supplied under pressure and with swirl.

Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass die Sicherung einer gleichmässigen Brennstoffverteilung auch bei Verwendung einer solchen zweistufige Druckzerstäuberdüse mit zunehmender Grösse der Brenner, d.h. bei einer Entwicklung wie sie beispielsweise beim Vergleich der Figuren 12 und 17 der EP 0 794 383 A2 deutlich erkennbar ist, schwieriger wird. Dies ist sowohl auf den überragenden Einfluss zurückzuführen, den die Luft auf die Verteilung der Brennstofftröpfchen besitzt als auch auf den zunehmenden Durchmesser der Brenner bzw. auf den Öffnungswinkel ihrer Drallerzeuger.However, it has been shown that ensuring an even fuel distribution even when using such a two-stage pressure atomizing nozzle with increasing size of the burners, i.e. in a development like this, for example when comparing Figures 12 and 17 of EP 0 794 383 A2 clearly is recognizable, becomes more difficult. This is due to the overwhelming influence attributed to the air by the distribution of the fuel droplets as also on the increasing diameter of the burners or on the opening angle their swirl generator.

Die Luft, welche um die zentrale Brennstoffdüse eines solchen grossen Brenners strömt, verbleibt vornehmlich im Bereich der Brennerachse. Kann fast die gesamte Brennstoffmenge von dieser Luft getragen werden, entsteht ein mit Brennstoff angereichertes Zentrum, wobei keine grossen Flüssigbrennstoffmengen in den äusseren Bereich gelangen. Daher findet die Hauptverdampfung des Brennstoffs häufig bereits statt, ehe die Brennstofftröpfchen die gewünschten Punkte des Brenners, d.h. dessen äussere Bereiche, erreichen. Somit können in diesem Fall grosse NOx-Emissionen und ein Rückschlagen der Flamme hervorgerufen werden.The air around the central fuel nozzle of such a large burner flows, remains mainly in the area of the burner axis. Can do almost the whole The amount of fuel carried by this air is generated with fuel enriched center, with no large amounts of liquid fuel in the reach the outer area. Therefore, the main vaporization of the fuel takes place often takes place before the fuel droplets reach the desired points on the Brenners, i.e. reach its outer areas. So in this case large NOx emissions and a flashback are caused.

Um eine Eindüsung der Brennstofftröpfchen auch in die äusseren Bereiche des Brenners zu realisieren, werden häufig Dralldüsen mit grossen Strahlwinkeln eingesetzt. Zwar düst eine solche Dralldüse in die richtige Richtung ein, jedoch besitzen die von ihr erzeugten kleinen Tröpfchen keinen ausreichenden Impuls, um den Flüssigbrennstoff vor dessen Verdampfung oder vor der Beeinflussung durch die Luft in die äusseren Bereiche des Brenners zu transportieren. Wegen der grossen Streuung bei der anfänglichen Verteilung der Tröpfchengrössen, können andererseits grosse Tropfen in die äusseren Bereiche gelangen. Diese Tropfen werden jedoch nicht verdampft und können schliesslich auf die Brennerwände auftreffen, mit der Gefahr des Zurückschlagens der Flamme in den wandnahen Strömungsbereichen.In order to inject the fuel droplets into the outer areas of the To realize the burner, swirl nozzles with large jet angles are often used. Such a swirl nozzle injects in the right direction, but it does the small droplets it produces do not have sufficient momentum to the liquid fuel before it is vaporized or before it is influenced by to transport the air to the outer areas of the burner. Because of the large scatter in the initial distribution of droplet sizes on the other hand, large drops get into the outer areas. These drops However, they are not vaporized and can ultimately reach the burner walls hit, with the danger of the flame striking back in the wall Flow regions.

Wird dagegen ein beispielsweise aus der EP 0 794 383 A2 bekannter, turbulenzverstärkter Brennstoffstrahl genutzt, so produziert dieser grosse Tropfen, mit einem ausreichend hohem Impuls, um durch das Luftfeld zu gelangen. Diese Strahlen besitzen jedoch einen kleinen Ausbreitungswinkel und veranlassen die Tropfen nicht, sich gleichmässig in alle Richtungen zu verteilen.If, on the other hand, a turbulence-enhanced device known for example from EP 0 794 383 A2 is used Used fuel jet, this produces large drops, with one sufficiently high momentum to get through the air field. These rays however have a small angle of propagation and cause the drops not to spread evenly in all directions.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Die Erfindung versucht, alle diese Nachteile zu vermeiden. Ihr liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine zweistufige Druckzerstäuberdüse für zumindest eine zu zerstäubende Flüssigkeit zu schaffen, mit welcher eine verbesserte Flüssigkeitsverteilung im Aussenraum der Druckzerstäuberdüse, insbesondere eine bessere Brennstoffverteilung in einem Vormischbrenner, erzielt werden kann.The invention tries to avoid all of these disadvantages. You have the task based on a two-stage pressure atomizing nozzle for at least one to be atomized To create fluid with which an improved fluid distribution in the outside of the pressure atomizer nozzle, in particular a better fuel distribution in a premix burner.

Erfindungsgemäss wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass bei einer Vorrichtung gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, die Druckzerstäuberdüse einen das Aussenund das Innenrohr stromab miteinander verbindenden Düsenkopf aufweist und im Düsenkopf zumindest zwei separate Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammem angeordnet sind. Jede dieser Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern ist über zumindest einen Drallkanal mit dem zweiten Zuführkanal, über zumindest einen Turbulenzerzeugerkanal mit dem ersten Zuführkanal und über eine Austrittsöffnung mit dem Aussenraum des Düsenkörpers verbunden.According to the invention, this is achieved in that with a device according to the preamble of claim 1, the pressure atomizing nozzle an the outside and the inner tube has a nozzle head connecting one another downstream and in Nozzle head arranged at least two separate turbulence and / or swirl chambers are. Each of these turbulence and / or swirl chambers is over at least one Swirl duct with the second feed duct, via at least one turbulence generator duct with the first feed channel and via an outlet opening to the outside space of the nozzle body connected.

Dadurch entsteht ein Mehrpunkt-Einspritzsystem mit zumindest zwei Austrittsöffnungen, welches eine Veränderung der Zerstäubungsqualität, der Geschwindigkeit sowie der Richtung der Flüssigkeit und somit eine Anpassung der Zerstäubung und der Verteilung der Flüssigkeit an den jeweiligen Lastzustand erlaubt. Die Austrittsöffnungen, welche jeweils nur einen Teil des gesamten Flüssigkeits-Massenstroms aufnehmen, können kleiner ausgebildet werden als das bei einer Düse mit nur einer Austrittsöffnung möglich ist. Bei gleichem Flüssigkeits-Massenstrom erzeugen kleinere Austrittsöffnungen in der Drallstufe jedoch einen wesentlich dünneren Flüssigkeitsfilm, wodurch in der Drallstufe kleinere Tröpfchen mit geringerer Eintrittstiefe produziert werden. Deshalb wird das Einsatzspektrum der Druckzerstäuberdüse vorteilhaft auch in Richtung Teillastbetrieb verschoben. This creates a multi-point injection system with at least two outlet openings, which is a change in atomization quality, speed as well as the direction of the liquid and thus an adjustment of the atomization and the distribution of the liquid to the respective load condition allowed. The Outlet openings, each of which is only a part of the total liquid mass flow can be made smaller than that of a nozzle is possible with only one outlet opening. With the same liquid mass flow however, smaller outlet openings in the swirl stage create a substantial one thinner liquid film, resulting in smaller droplets with less in the swirl stage Depth of entry are produced. That is why the range of uses of Pressure atomizer nozzle advantageously also shifted in the direction of part-load operation.

Der Düsenkörper sowie die Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammem besitzen jeweils eine Mittelachse. Die Mittelachsen der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern sind radial versetzt zur Mittelachse des Düsenkörpers, vorzugsweise sowohl in radialer als auch in tangentialer Richtung schräg zur Mittelachse des Düsenkörpers angeordnet. Generell kann dadurch eine bessere Flüssigkeitsverteilung über grosse Querschnittsflächen erzielt werden. Bei der Auslegung der Druckzerstäuberdüse werden die radiale Versetzung und die Schrägstellung der Mittelachsen der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammem zur Mittelachse des Düsenkörpers an die gewünschten Eindüsrichtungen der sich ausbildenden Sprays angepasst.The nozzle body and the turbulence and / or swirl chambers each have one Central axis. The central axes of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers are radial offset to the central axis of the nozzle body, preferably both radially and arranged obliquely to the central axis of the nozzle body in the tangential direction. In general, this can result in better liquid distribution over large areas Cross-sectional areas can be achieved. When designing the pressure atomizer nozzle the radial displacement and the inclination of the central axes of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers to the central axis of the nozzle body to the desired Adjusted spraying directions of the sprays being formed.

Zwischen dem ersten Zuführkanal und jeder der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern ist ein den zumindest einen Turbulenzerzeugerkanal aufnehmender Verschlussdeckel angeordnet. Dadurch wird eine relativ einfache Fertigung der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern gewährleistet, welche beispielsweise durch Fräsen oder Bohren in den Düsenkopf eingebracht und mittels der anschliessend zu montierenden Verschlussdeckel stromauf abgedeckt werden. Durch die Anordnung des Turbulenzerzeugerkanals im äusseren Bereich des jeweiligen Verschlussdeckels, kann eine erhöhte Turbulenz der verwendeten Flüssigkeit und damit ein feineres Spray erreicht werden.Between the first feed channel and each of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers is a sealing cover which receives the at least one turbulence generator channel arranged. This results in a relatively simple manufacture of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers guaranteed, for example by milling or drilling into the nozzle head and then using the mounting cover to be covered upstream. By the arrangement the turbulence generator duct in the outer area of the respective cover, can increase the turbulence of the liquid used and therefore a finer spray can be achieved.

Zudem mündet der erste Zuführkanal in ein erstes, stromauf der Verschlussdeckel ausgebildetes Plenum, während zwischen dem zweiten Zuführkanal sowie den mit ihm verbundenen Drallkanälen ein zweites, umlaufendes Plenum ausgebildet ist. Dadurch können alle Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern vorteilhaft mit nur einer ersten und nur einer zweiten Zuführleitung versehen werden, was einen sehr kompakt ausgebildeten Düsenkörper ermöglicht. Besonders vorteilhaft besitzt das erste Plenum einen grösseren Querschnitt als der dieses beaufschlagende Zuführkanal, wodurch eine gleichmässigere Flüssigkeitsbeaufschlagung der Turbulenzund/oder Drallkammern erreicht wird. Mit dem gleichen Vorteil sind die Querschnitte der beiden Plenen auch grösser als die Summe der Querschnitte der von ihnen beaufschlagten Turbulenzerzeuger- bzw. Drallkanäle ausgebildet. In addition, the first feed channel opens into a first, upstream of the cover trained plenum, while between the second feed channel and the a second, rotating plenum is formed. As a result, all turbulence and / or swirl chambers can advantageously be used with only one first and only a second feed line can be provided, which is a very compact trained nozzle body allows. The first one is particularly advantageous Plenum has a larger cross-section than the feed channel acting on it, whereby a more uniform fluid loading of the turbulence and / or Swirl chambers is reached. The cross sections have the same advantage of the two plenums also larger than the sum of the cross sections of the Turbulence generator or swirl channels acted upon them.

Es ist besonders zweckmässig, wenn alle Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern gleich gross ausgebildet sind. Auf diese Weise kann eine gleichmässige Flüssigkeitsverteilung im Aussenraum des Düsenkörpers gewährleistet werden.It is particularly useful if all turbulence and / or swirl chambers are equally large. In this way, an even liquid distribution be guaranteed in the outer space of the nozzle body.

Zudem ist der Düsenkopf in seinem stromabwärtigen Bereich halbkugelförmig ausgebildet. Dadurch kann dem Entstehen eines sogenannten Totwassergebietes im Nachlauf der Düse und somit eventuellen, mit Tröpfchenablagerungen verbunden Strömungsablösungen entgegengewirkt werden. In diese halbkugelförmige Kontur des Düsenkopfes sind Ausnehmungen eingebracht, wobei jede Austrittsöffnung in eine der Ausnehmungen mündet und jede Ausnehmung rechtwinklig zur in sie einmündenden Austrittsöffnung angeordnet ist. Aufgrund dieser Gestaltung des Austrittsbereiches kann die Flüssigkeitsverteilung im Aussenraum des Düsenkörpers weiter verbessert werden.In addition, the nozzle head is hemispherical in its downstream area educated. This can lead to the emergence of a so-called dead water area in the wake of the nozzle and thus possibly connected with droplet deposits Flow separations can be counteracted. In this hemispherical Recesses are made in the contour of the nozzle head, with each outlet opening opens into one of the recesses and each recess is rectangular is arranged to the outlet opening into it. Because of this design of the outlet area can be the liquid distribution in the exterior of the nozzle body can be further improved.

In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Düsenkörper so mit einem Vormischbrenner verbunden, dass sein Aussenraum gleichzeitig ein Innenraum des Vormischbrenners ist. Der Vormischbrenner besteht im wesentlichen aus vier in Strömungsrichtung aufeinander positionierten, hohlen Teilkegelkörpern mit einem in Strömungsrichtung konstanten Kegelhalbwinkel β. Die Längssymmetrieachsen der Teilkegelkörper verlaufen radial versetzt zueinander, so dass vier strömungsmässig entgegengesetzte, tangentiale Lufteintrittsschlitze für einen Verbrennungsluftstrom ausgebildet sind. Dabei ist der Düsenkörper im durch die kegeligen Teilkörper gebildeten, hohlkegelförmigen Innenraum des Vormischbrenners angeordnet. Stromab jedes Teilkegelkörpers ist ein Nachlaufgebiet des Teilkegelkörpers ausgebildet. Im Düsenkopf der Druckzerstäuberdüse sind vier Turbulenzund/oder Drallkammern angeordnet, deren Austrittsöffnungen auf das Nachlaufgebiet des jeweils benachbarten Teilkegelkörpers ausgerichtet sind.In one embodiment of the invention, the nozzle body is with a premix burner connected that its exterior space is simultaneously an interior space of the Premix burner is. The premix burner consists essentially of four in Hollow partial cone bodies positioned one on top of the other with a constant cone half angle β in the direction of flow. The longitudinal symmetry axes the partial cone body are radially offset from one another, so that four flow opposite, tangential air inlet slots for a combustion air flow are trained. The nozzle body is in through the tapered body formed, hollow cone-shaped interior of the premix burner. Downstream of each partial cone body is a trailing area of the partial cone body educated. There are four turbulence and / or in the nozzle head of the pressure atomizing nozzle Swirl chambers arranged, the outlet openings of which on the wake area of the adjacent partial cone body are aligned.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird der Brennstoff-Massenstrom über die Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern in vier gleiche Teilströme aufgeteilt. Da die Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern jeweils eine kleinere Austrittsöffnung aufweisen, als das bei nur einer Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammer mit einer einzigen Austrittsöffnung realisierbar ist, kann somit ein dünnerer Brennstoffspray erzeugt werden. In der Folge entstehen kleinere Brennstofftröpfchen, welche eine geringere Eindringtiefe in den Brennerinnenraum aufweisen und wesentlich schneller, d.h. vor Auftreffen auf die Innenwand der Teilkegelkörper verdampfen. Infolge der Ausrichtung der Austrittsöffnungen der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern auf die Nachlaufgebiete der Teilkegelkörper, sind die Brennstofftröpfchen geringeren aerodynamischen Kräften ausgesetzt und können somit besser in radialer Richtung in die Verbrennungsluft eindringen. Letztlich wird dadurch am Ausgang des Brenners eine gleichmässige Flüssigbrennstoffdampfverteilung und somit eine verbesserte Verbrennung ermöglicht.In this embodiment of the invention, the fuel mass flow is over the turbulence and / or swirl chambers are divided into four equal partial flows. Since the Turbulence and / or swirl chambers each have a smaller outlet opening, than that with only one turbulence and / or swirl chamber with a single one Outlet opening can be realized, a thinner fuel spray can thus be generated become. This results in smaller droplets of fuel, which are smaller Penetration depth into the burner interior and much faster, i.e. Vaporize before hitting the inner wall of the partial cone body. As a result of Alignment of the outlet openings of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers on the Trailing areas of the partial cone bodies, the fuel droplets are smaller exposed to aerodynamic forces and can therefore do better in the radial direction penetrate the combustion air. Ultimately this will result in the exit of the Brenners a uniform liquid fuel vapor distribution and thus one enables improved combustion.

Eine solche Druckzerstäuberdüse bzw. der mit ihr ausgestattete Brenner kann durch einfaches Regeln der Brennstoffzufuhr, d.h. durch Umschalten vom Turbulenzbetrieb auf den Drallbetrieb oder Mischbetrieb an den Vollast- oder Teillastbedarf angepasst werden. Wegen der vielseitigen Wechselmöglichkeiten zwischen drallverstärkten und turbulenzverstärkten Sprühnebeln ist die Lösung bei den meisten Maschinen- und Leistungsbedingungen anwendbar.Such a pressure atomizing nozzle or the burner equipped with it can by simply regulating the fuel supply, i.e. by switching from turbulence operation to the swirl operation or mixed operation to the full load or part load requirements be adjusted. Because of the versatile switch options between swirl-enhanced and turbulence-enhanced spray mist is the solution applicable to most machine and performance conditions.

Weg zur Ausführung der ErfindungWay of carrying out the invention

Die Druckzerstäuberdüse besitzt einen Düsenkörper 1, welcher aus einem Aussenrohr 2 sowie einem Innenrohr 3 besteht und stromab von einem Düsenkopf 4 abgeschlossen wird (Fig. 1, Fig. 2). Im Innenrohr 3 ist ein erster Zuführkanal 5 und zwischen dem Aussenrohr 2 sowie dem Innenrohr 3 ein zweiter Zuführkanal 6 für zumindest einen Flüssigbrennstoff 7 ausgebildet. Stromauf des Düsenkopfes 4 ist zwischen dem Innenrohr 3 und dem Aussenrohr 2 ein zur Stabilisierung dienender Abstandhalter 8 angeordnet. Der Düsenkopf 4 nimmt vier gleich grosse Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 auf. Natürlich können die Turbulenzund/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 bei entsprechenden Einsatzbedingungen auch eine unterschiedliche Grösse aufweisen (nicht dargestellt), wobei jedoch darauf zu achten ist, dass stets eine symmetrische Eindüsung erfolgt.The pressure atomizer nozzle has a nozzle body 1, which consists of an outer tube 2 and an inner tube 3 and downstream of a nozzle head 4 is completed (Fig. 1, Fig. 2). In the inner tube 3 is a first feed channel 5 and between the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 3, a second feed channel 6 for formed at least one liquid fuel 7. Is upstream of the nozzle head 4 between the inner tube 3 and the outer tube 2 is used for stabilization Spacer 8 arranged. The nozzle head 4 takes four equally large turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12. Of course, the turbulence and / or Swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 under appropriate operating conditions also have a different size (not shown), but on it It is important to ensure that there is always a symmetrical injection.

Sowohl die Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 als auch der Düsenkörper 1 besitzen jeweils eine Mittelachse 9', 10', 11', 12', 13, wobei die Mittelachsen 9', 10', 11', 12' der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammem 9, 10, 11, 12 sowohl in radialer als auch in tangentialer Richtung schräg zur Mittelachse 13 des Düsenkörpers 1 angeordnet sind. Dabei schneidet eine gedachte Ebene durch die Mittelachse 13 des Düsenkörpers 1 die gedachten Ebenen durch die Mittelachsen 9', 10', 11', 12' der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 im Inneren des Düsenkopfes 4 sowohl in einem radialen als auch in einem tangentialen Winkel (Fig. 3). Die Lage der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammem 9, 10, 11, 12 im Inneren des Düsenkopfs 4 wird auch in den Figuren 4 und 5 entsprechend den in Figur 2 bezeichneten Schnitten dargestellt. Bei einer konkreten Druckzerstäuberdüse richtet sich die Schrägstellung der Mittelachsen 9', 10', 11', 12' zur Mittelachse 13 des Düsenkörpers 1 nach den gewünschten Eindüsrichtungen der sich ausbildenden Brennstoffsprays 37. Entsprechend den konkreten Einsatzbedingungen der Druckzerstäuberdüse können die Mittelachsen 9', 10', 11', 12' der Turbulenzund/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 daher auch lediglich parallel versetzt zur Mittelachse 13 des Düsenkörpers 1 angeordnet sein.Both the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 and the nozzle body 1 each have a central axis 9 ', 10', 11 ', 12', 13, the central axes 9 ', 10', 11 ', 12' of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 both in radial as well as in the tangential direction obliquely to the central axis 13 of the nozzle body 1 are arranged. An imaginary plane cuts through the central axis 13 of the nozzle body 1, the imaginary planes through the central axes 9 ', 10 ', 11', 12 'of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 inside the Nozzle head 4 both in a radial and in a tangential angle (Fig. 3). The location of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 inside of the nozzle head 4 is also in FIGS. 4 and 5 corresponding to that in FIG. 2 shown cuts shown. With a concrete pressure atomizer nozzle the inclination of the central axes 9 ', 10', 11 ', 12' to the central axis 13 of the Nozzle body 1 according to the desired injection directions of the developing Fuel sprays 37. According to the specific operating conditions of the Pressure atomizing nozzle can the central axes 9 ', 10', 11 ', 12' of the turbulence and / or Swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 therefore only offset parallel to the central axis 13 of the nozzle body 1 may be arranged.

Jede der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 ist mittels eines Verschlussdeckels 14 zum ersten Zuführkanal 5 abgeschlossen. Im äusseren Bereich jedes Verschlussdeckels 14 sind zwei Turbulenzerzeugerkanäle 15 angeordnet, welche die jeweilige Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammer 9, 10, 11, 12 mit dem ersten Zuführkanal 5 verbinden. Zudem sind die Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 über jeweils einen Drallkanal 16 mit dem zweiten Zuführkanal 6 (Fig. 1, Fig. 2) und über jeweils eine Austrittsöffnung 17 mit einem Aussenraum 18 verbunden (Fig. 3, Fig. 6). Der Düsenkörper 1 besitzt somit vier Austrittsöffnungen 17, die jeweils nur ein Viertel des gesamten Brennstoff-Massenstroms durchlassen. Sie sind dazu kleiner ausgebildet, als eine den gesamten Massenstrom aufnehmende Einzellochdüse und produzieren bei ähnlichen Flüssigbrennstoffdrücken kleinere Tröpfchen.Each of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 is by means of a sealing cover 14 to the first feed channel 5 completed. In the outer area of each cover 14, two turbulence channels 15 are arranged, which the respective turbulence and / or swirl chamber 9, 10, 11, 12 with the first Connect feed channel 5. In addition, the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 each via a swirl duct 16 with the second feed duct 6 (FIG. 1, Fig. 2) and each connected to an outer space 18 via an outlet opening 17 (Fig. 3, Fig. 6). The nozzle body 1 thus has four outlet openings 17, which each only let through a quarter of the total fuel mass flow. For this purpose, they are designed to be smaller than one that takes up the entire mass flow Single hole nozzle and produce at similar liquid fuel pressures smaller droplets.

In seinem stromabwärtigen Bereich ist der Düsenkopf 4 halbkugelförmig ausgebildet, wobei jede Austrittsöffnung 17 in eine in die halbkugelförmige Kontur des Düsenkopfes 4 eingebrachte Ausnehmung 19 mündet und jede Ausnehmung 19 rechtwinklig zu der jeweils in sie einmündenden Austrittsöffnung 17 angeordnet ist. Natürlich ist auch jede andere strömungsgünstige Ausbildung des stromabwärtigen Bereichs des Düsenkopfes 4 geeignet, beispielsweise eine elliptische Form.In its downstream area, the nozzle head 4 is hemispherical, each outlet opening 17 into a in the hemispherical contour of the nozzle head 4 introduced recess 19 opens and each recess 19th arranged at right angles to the outlet opening 17 each opening into it is. Of course, any other streamlined design of the downstream is Area of the nozzle head 4 suitable, for example an elliptical shape.

Stromauf der Verschlussdeckel 14 ist ein erstes Plenum 20 ausgebildet, in welches der erste Zuführkanal 5 mündet. Das erste Plenum 20 besitzt einen grösseren Querschnitt als der dieses beaufschlagende Zuführkanal 5. Zwischen dem zweiten Zuführkanal 6 und den mit ihm verbundenen Drallkanälen 16 ist ein zweites, umlaufendes Plenum 21 ausgebildet. Die Querschnitte der beiden Plenen 20, 21 sind grösser ausgebildet als die Summe der Querschnitte der von ihnen beaufschlagten Turbulenzerzeugerkanäle 15 bzw. Drallkanäle 16. Somit ist ein kompakter Düsenkörper 1 realisiert, welcher aus vier Teildüsen mit jeweils einer Turbulenz- sowie einer Drallstufe, mit einer gemeinsamen Geometrie und mit einem einheitlichen Durchmesser besteht.A first plenum 20 is formed upstream of the closure cover 14, into which the first feed channel 5 opens. The first plenum 20 has a larger one Cross-section than the feed channel 5 which acts on it second feed channel 6 and the swirl channels 16 connected to it is a second, circumferential plenum 21 is formed. The cross sections of the two plenums 20, 21 are designed to be larger than the sum of the cross sections of those to which they are subjected Turbulence generator channels 15 or swirl channels 16. This is a more compact one Nozzle body 1 realized, which consists of four partial nozzles, each with a turbulence as well as a swirl stage, with a common geometry and with a uniform Diameter exists.

Die Zufuhr des Flüssigbrennstoffs 7 zum Düsenkörper 1 erfolgt auf an sich bekannte Weise über nicht gezeigte Leitungen, wie beispielsweise in der EP 0 794 383 A2 dargestellt und beschrieben.The liquid fuel 7 is supplied to the nozzle body 1 in a manner known per se Way over lines not shown, such as in EP 0 794 383 A2 shown and described.

Beim Betrieb der Turbulenzstufe gelangt der Flüssigbrennstoff 7 über den ersten Zuführkanal 5 in das erste Plenum 20. Von dort aus wird er durch die Turbulenzerzeugerkanäle 15 der Verschlussdeckel 14 als eine turbulente Strömung in die jeweilige Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammer 9, 10, 11, 12 eingeleitet. Aufgrund des gegenüber dem ersten Zuführkanal 5 vergrösserten Querschnittes des ersten Plenums 20 wird eine relativ gleichmässige Flüssigkeitsbeaufschlagung der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 erreicht. Anschliessend erfolgt das Eindüsen des Flüssigbrennstoffs 7 in den Aussenraum 18, über die Austrittsöffnungen 17 der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12. Dabei erzeugen die Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 vier gleich grosse Brennstoffsprays 37 mit einer verbesserten Tröpfchenverteilung. Aufgrund der rechtwinklig zur jeweiligen Ausnehmung 19 erfolgenden Eindüsung des Flüssigbrennstoffs 7 in den Aussenraum 18 werden kreisförmige Brennstoffsprays 37 ausgebildet, was die Brennstoffverteilung weiter verbessert. When operating the turbulence stage, the liquid fuel 7 passes through the first Feed channel 5 into the first plenum 20. From there it is through the turbulence channels 15 the cap 14 as a turbulent flow in the respective turbulence and / or swirl chamber 9, 10, 11, 12 initiated. Because of the compared to the first feed channel 5 enlarged cross section of the first plenum 20 a relatively uniform application of liquid to the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 reached. The injection is then carried out of liquid fuel 7 into the outside space 18, via the outlet openings 17 of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 Turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 four fuel sprays of the same size 37 with an improved droplet distribution. Because of the right angle injection of the liquid fuel 7 into the respective recess 19 the outside space 18 circular fuel sprays 37 are formed, what fuel distribution further improved.

Demgegenüber wird die Drallstufe über den zweiten Zuführkanal 6 mit Flüssigbrennstoff 7 beaufschlagt. Letzterer gelangt zunächst in das zweite Plenum 21 und wird schliesslich von dort aus gleichmässig über die tangentialen Drallkanäle 16 auf die Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 aufgeteilt.In contrast, the swirl stage via the second feed channel 6 with liquid fuel 7 acted upon. The latter first reaches the second plenum 21 and from there it is evenly distributed over the tangential swirl channels 16 divided into the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12.

Natürlich ist im Teillastbereich auch eine Kombination von teilweise turbulenzverstärktem Betrieb und teilweisem Drallbetrieb möglich. In diesem Fall trägt die Anordnung der Turbulenzerzeugerkanäle 15 im äusseren Bereich der Verschlussdeckel 14, d.h. nahe der Seitenwände der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 dazu bei, dass sich das nicht dargestellte Flüssigbrennstoff-Vollkegelspray gleichmässig ausbildet und somit die Verteilung der Brennstofftröpfchen weiter verbessert wird.Of course, in the partial load range there is also a combination of partially turbulence-reinforced Operation and partial swirl operation possible. In this case, the Arrangement of the turbulence channels 15 in the outer region of the cover 14, i.e. near the side walls of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 contribute to the fact that the liquid fuel full cone spray, not shown forms evenly and thus the distribution of the fuel droplets is further improved.

In einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist der Düsenkörper 1 so mit einem Vormischbrenner 22 verbunden, dass der Aussenraum 18 des Düsenkörpers 1 gleichzeitig ein Innenraum 18' des Vormischbrenners 22 ist (Fig. 7). Der Vormischbrenner 22 ist ein kegelförmiges Gebilde und besteht im wesentlichen aus vier aufeinander positionierten, hohlen Teilkegelkörpem 23, 24, 25, 26 mit einem in Strömungsrichtung konstanten Kegelhalbwinkel β zur Brennerachse 27. Im engsten Querschnitt des durch die Teilkegelkörper 23, 24, 25, 26 gebildeten, hohlkegelförmigen Innenraumes 18' des Vormischbrenners 22 ist der Düsenkörper 1 angeordnet. Analog der Figuren 1 bis 6 weist der Düsenkörper 1 vier Turbulenzund/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 mit jeweils einer Austrittsöffnung 17 auf.In a second exemplary embodiment of the invention, the nozzle body 1 is also included connected to a premix burner 22 that the outer space 18 of the nozzle body 1 is at the same time an interior 18 'of the premix burner 22 (FIG. 7). The Premix burner 22 is a cone-shaped structure and essentially consists from four superimposed hollow partial cone bodies 23, 24, 25, 26 with one constant cone half angle β to the burner axis in the direction of flow 27. Im narrowest cross section of the hollow cone-shaped body formed by the partial cone bodies 23, 24, 25, 26 Interior 18 'of the premix burner 22 is the nozzle body 1 arranged. Analogously to FIGS. 1 to 6, the nozzle body 1 has four turbulence and / or Swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 each with an outlet opening 17.

Die Teilkegelkörper 23, 24, 25, 26 besitzen jeweils eine Längssymmetrieachse 23', 24', 25', 26'. Letztere verlaufen radial versetzt zueinander, so dass vier strömungsmässig entgegengesetzte, tangentiale Lufteintrittsschlitze 28 für einen Verbrennungsluftmassenstrom 29 ausgebildet werden (Fig. 8). Zudem weisen die Teilkegelkörper 23, 24, 25, 26 längs der Lufteintrittsschlitze 28 je eine Zuleitung 30 auf, welche längsseitig mit Öffnungen 31 zur Zufuhr eines gasförmigen Brennstoffs 32 in den Innenraum 18' des Vormischbrenners 22 versehen sind (Fig. 7). Dieser Brennstoff 32 wird bei Bedarf dem durch die tangentialen Lufteintrittsschlitze 28 in den Innenraum 18' eingeführten Verbrennungsluftmassenstrom 29 zugemischt. Ein Mischbetrieb des Vormischbrenners 22 über die Druckzerstäuberdüse und die Zuleitungen 30 ist möglich.The partial cone bodies 23, 24, 25, 26 each have an axis of longitudinal symmetry 23 ', 24', 25 ', 26'. The latter run radially offset from one another, so that four flow opposite, tangential air inlet slots 28 for a combustion air mass flow 29 are formed (Fig. 8). In addition, the Partial cone bodies 23, 24, 25, 26 along the air inlet slots 28 each have a feed line 30, which has longitudinal openings 31 for supplying a gaseous fuel 32 are provided in the interior 18 'of the premix burner 22 (FIG. 7). If necessary, this fuel 32 becomes through the tangential air inlet slots 28 admixed combustion air mass flow 29 introduced into the interior 18 '. A mixed operation of the premix burner 22 via the pressure atomizing nozzle and the feed lines 30 is possible.

Beim Betrieb des Vormischbrenners 22 über die Druckzerstäuberdüse wird, in Abhängigkeit sowohl von der Materialdicke seiner Teilkegelkörper 23, 24, 25, 26 als auch von der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der Verbrennungsluftmassenströme 29, stromab jedes Teilkegelkörpers 23, 24, 25, 26 zwangsläufig ein Nachlaufgebiet 33, 34, 35, 36 ausgebildet, in dem deutlich geringere aerodynamische Kräfte herrschen als in den benachbarten Bereichen des Innenraums 18'. Jede der vier Austrittsöffnungen 17 der Turbulenz- und/oder Drallkammern 9, 10, 11, 12 ist auf eines der Nachlaufgebiete 33, 34, 35, 36 der Teilkegelkörper 23, 24, 25, 26 ausgerichtet. Dadurch wird der Flüssigbrennstoff 7 in Form von vier separaten Brennstoffsprays 37 über die Austrittsöffnungen 17 in den Innenraum 18' des Vormischbrenners 22, genauer in die Nachlaufgebiete 33, 34, 35, 36 der Teilkegelkörper 23, 24, 25, 26 des Vormischbrenners 22, eingedüst. Infolge dieser Ausrichtung der Brennstoffsprays 37 sind die Brennstofftröpfchen geringeren aerodynamischen Kräften ausgesetzt und werden dementsprechend besser radial in die Verbrennungsluftmassenströme 29 eingemischt. Die verbesserte Vormischung führt zu einem gleichmässig aufbereiteten Brenngemisch am Brennerende und damit zu einer verbesserten Verbrennung mit deutlich geringeren NOx-Werten.When the premix burner 22 is operated via the pressure atomizing nozzle, is dependent both of the material thickness of its partial cone bodies 23, 24, 25, 26 as also from the flow velocity of the combustion air mass flows 29, downstream of each partial cone body 23, 24, 25, 26 inevitably a trailing area 33, 34, 35, 36, in which there are significantly lower aerodynamic forces than in the adjacent areas of the interior 18 '. Each of the four outlet openings 17 of the turbulence and / or swirl chambers 9, 10, 11, 12 is on one of the trailing areas 33, 34, 35, 36 of the partial cone bodies 23, 24, 25, 26 aligned. This turns the liquid fuel 7 into four separate fuel sprays 37 via the outlet openings 17 into the interior 18 'of the premix burner 22, more precisely in the trailing areas 33, 34, 35, 36 of the partial cone body 23, 24, 25, 26 of the premix burner 22, injected. As a result of this alignment of fuel sprays 37 are the lower aerodynamic fuel droplets Exposed to forces and are therefore better radially into the combustion air mass flows 29 mixed in. The improved premix leads to a uniformly prepared firing mixture at the end of the burner and thus to improved combustion with significantly lower NOx values.

Bei Vollast einer nicht dargestellten, mit einer Brennkammer verbundenen Gasturbine werden die Druckzerstäuberdüsen jedes die Brennkammer beaufschlagenden Vormischbrenners 22 nahezu vollständig über ihre Turbulenzstufe betrieben. Dadurch werden Brennstoffsprays 37 mit kleinen, zu den Brennerinnenwänden 38 ausgerichtete Winkeln und mit grossen Tröpfchen-Impulsen erzeugt. Diese Brennstofftröpfchen dringen in das sie umgebende, vom Verbrennungsluftmassenstrom 29 gebildete Luftfeld ein und erreichen so in grosser Anzahl die äusseren Bereiche des Innenraums 18' des Vormischbrenners 22. Auf diese Weise kann schliesslich am Brennerausgang ein gleichmässiges Brennstoff-Dampfprofil ausgebildet werden.At full load of a gas turbine, not shown, connected to a combustion chamber the pressure atomizing nozzles will each act on the combustion chamber Premix burner 22 operated almost entirely via its turbulence stage. As a result, fuel sprays 37 with small, to the burner inner walls 38th aligned angles and generated with large droplet pulses. These droplets of fuel penetrate into the surrounding, from the combustion air mass flow 29 air fields formed and reach the outer areas in large numbers of the interior 18 'of the premix burner 22. In this way finally, a uniform fuel-vapor profile is formed at the burner outlet become.

Im allgemeinen wird bei Teillast der Verbrennungsluftmassenstrom 29 und damit auch dessen Impuls verringert, was die Notwendigkeit eines geringeren Brennstoff-Massenstroms, eines geringeren Spray-Impulses und daher kleinere Brennstofftröpfchen hervorruft. Daher wird die jeweilige Drallstufe der Druckzerstäuberdüsen in diesem Betriebszustand der Gasturbine stärker beaufschlagt als die Turbulenzstufe. Ein steigendes Drallverhältnis reduziert allmählich und automatisch den Massenstrom des Flüssigbrennstoffs 7. Weil zudem die Drallstufe einen geringeren Massenstrom als die Turbulenzstufe realisiert, sinkt die Brennstoffmenge des Flüssigbrennstoffs 7 entsprechend. Um ein Anwachsen der Tröpfchengrösse und damit das Auftreffen der Brennstofftröpfchen auf die Brennerinnenwände 38 zu verhindern wird von der Turbulenzstufe in Richtung Drallstufe übergegangen. Dagegen wird bei sinkender Last der Gasturbine, d.h. bei weiter abnehmendem Einfluss des Verbrennungsluftmassenstroms 29, durch den Übergang auf einen vollständigen Drallbetrieb, eine weitere Verringerung der Tröpfchengrösse des Flüssigbrennstoffs 7 erreicht.In general, the combustion air mass flow 29 and thus at partial load also reduces its momentum, which necessitates a lower fuel mass flow, a lower spray impulse and therefore smaller fuel droplets causes. Therefore, the respective swirl stage of the pressure atomizing nozzles in this operating state the gas turbine is subjected to a greater load than the turbulence stage. An increasing swirl ratio gradually and automatically reduces the mass flow of liquid fuel 7. Because the swirl stage also has a lower Mass flow realized as the turbulence stage, the amount of fuel drops of liquid fuel 7 accordingly. About an increase in droplet size and thus the impact of the fuel droplets on the inner walls 38 of the burner to prevent the transition from the turbulence stage towards the swirl stage. In contrast, when the gas turbine load decreases, i.e. with further decreasing Influence of the combustion air mass flow 29 through the transition to one full swirl operation, further reducing the droplet size of the Liquid fuel 7 reached.

Natürlich kann der Vormischbrenner, entsprechend der EP 0 704 657 A2, auch aus einem Drallerzeuger und einem stromab anschliessenden Mischrohr bestehen, wobei der Drallerzeuger im wesentlichen dem oben beschriebenen Vormischbrenner 22 entspricht oder auch eine Lösung für Doppelkegelbrenner d.h. für einen Vormischbrenner mit zwei Teilkegelkörpern realisiert werden (nicht dargestellt). Ebenso kann der Vormischbrenner nicht kegelig ausgebildet sein und/oder aus einer Anzahl kreisförmig angeordneter Schaufeln bestehen (ebenfalls nicht dargestellt). Of course, the premix burner can also, according to EP 0 704 657 A2 consist of a swirl generator and a downstream mixing tube, the swirl generator being essentially the premix burner described above 22 corresponds or also a solution for double cone burners i.e. can be realized for a premix burner with two partial cone bodies (not shown). Likewise, the premix burner cannot be conical and / or consist of a number of circularly arranged blades (likewise not shown).
