Definitions
- the invention relates to a burner for fuels suitable for spraying, in particular gaseous fuels, with an essentially cylindrical flame tube, a flame tube cover arranged at the upstream end of the flame tube, a fuel nozzle opening centrally in the flame tube cover, and means for introducing combustion air into the flame tube.
- the invention relates to a method for the combustion of fuel suitable for spraying, in particular gaseous fuel, which is fed centrally into a combustion zone and mixed there with combustion air.
- a key goal of modern combustion technology is to produce exhaust gases with low levels of pollutants.
- low NO x values are particularly sought after.
- a combustion zone is usually formed in the head region of the burner, into which the combustion air is blown through corresponding openings in the flame tube cover and in the flame tube, the flame tube material being cooled. Further combustion air is supplied through scale-like openings that are distributed over the entire flame tube.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of equalizing the temperature distribution in the flame tube and thereby reducing the generation of pollutants.
- the means for introducing combustion air into the flame tube have a plurality of first and the second air guide stub, that the first and second air guide stubs are inclined in the countercurrent direction to the axis of the flame tube, that the first air guide stubs end at the flame tube while the second air guide stubs extend into the flame tube, and that every second air guide stub has a first air guide stub directly upstream assigned .
- the method of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the combustion air is blown into the combustion zone in such a way that a highly turbulent toroidal vortex is formed in a plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the combustion zone, the direction of rotation of which in the inner region counteracts the flow direction the combustion zone is directed.
- the toroidal swirl or swirl ring generated in the head area of the burner creates a very intensive turbulent circulation and thus a good mixing of fuel and air.
- the increase in the degree of homogeneity of the fuel-air mixture reduces the number of local areas which have stoichiometric or near-stoichiometric mixture concentrations and, because of their extreme temperatures, form the main sources of the NO x emissions.
- the combustion chamber according to the invention belongs to the so-called diffusion chambers, in which the speed of the combustion process is determined by the speed of the fuel-air swirling and not by the speed of the chemical reactions. Therefore, the increased mixing intensity due to the highly turbulent toroidal vortex in the upstream area of the flame tube leads to a shorter residence time of the combustion products in the high temperature area, which has a favorable effect on the reduction of the NO x generation.
- the invention leads to an increased penetration of the fuel stream by the air jets emerging from the first and second air guide stubs, which preferably form a substantial proportion of the total combustion air.
- the second air guide stub projecting into the interior of the flame tube contributes to the construction of the vortex.
- the air jets flowing out of the second air guide socket penetrate deep into the hot gas flow. This cools the high temperature area up to the axis of the flame tube.
- the temperature load is controlled by assigning an upstream first air guide stub and preferably also a downstream third air guide stub directly adjacent to each second air guide stub.
- the second air guide stubs are therefore cooled by the air emerging from the first air guide stubs and possibly from the third air guide stubs.
- the number of identical first and third air guide sockets can also be increased by similar fourth air guide sockets, which, viewed in the circumferential direction, are each arranged between adjacent second air guide sockets.
- the cross-sectional distribution between the two types of air guiding nozzle significantly increases the uniformity of the temperature distribution at the outlet of the combustion chamber.
- a critical value for the formation of an optimal, highly turbulent toroidal vortex is, in addition to the arrangement of the air guide stubs, their angle of inclination with respect to the axis of the flame tube. An angle of inclination of 55 to 60 ° has proven to be very favorable.
- the axial distance of the first air guide stub from the fuel nozzle It has been found that this distance depends on the flame tube diameter and is preferably approximately 0.70 to 0.85 times the flame tube diameter. The invention not only makes it possible to intensify the swirling of the fuel and air and thus the combustion process, but at the same time also to stabilize the pilot flame to a high degree in all load ranges.
- the outflow orifices of the first and, if appropriate, the third and fourth air guide stubs are aligned with the flame tube
- the outflow orifices of the second air guide stubs should be at a distance from the flame tube which is preferably approximately 0.15 to 0.18 times the diameter of the flame tube is.
- the relationship between the total cross sections of the two types of air guiding nozzle is also critical. It has been found to be particularly advantageous that the total cross section of the second air guide stub is approximately 0.6 to 0.7 times the total cross section of the first and possibly the third and fourth air guide stubs.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of an axial
- Fig. 2 is a view in the direction of arrow A in Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of an axial
- Partial section through a burner according to a second embodiment 4 shows a view in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3.
- the burner according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has a flame tube cover 1, in the center of which a fuel nozzle 2 connected to a gas lance opens.
- a cylindrical flame tube 3 connects to the flame tube cover 1, the diameter of which is indicated by d.
- a plurality of first and second air guide stubs 4 and 5 are arranged on the flame tube 3.
- the first air guide stubs 4 form an upstream first row 6 and the second air guide stubs 5 form an immediately adjacent, downstream row 7.
- All air guide stubs 4 and 5 are inclined in the counterflow direction to the axis of the flame tube 3, namely by a common angle ⁇ , which is 60 ° in the case of the exemplary embodiment.
- the combustion air is predominantly introduced into the combustion zone through the air guide stubs 4 and 5 in such a way that a highly turbulent toroidal vortex or vortex ring is formed, which is indicated in FIG. 1 by dashed arrow lines.
- the intensive mixing leads to a homogeneous distribution of the fuel in the combustion air, with the result of reduced NO x formation due to the reduced time spent in the combustion zone. combined with an equalization of the temperature distribution already in the flame tube.
- the distance x between the air guide nozzle 4 of the first row 6 and the fuel nozzle 2 is 0.70 times the flame tube diameter d. This contributes to the stabilization of the swirl ring and also ensures stable ignition behavior over the entire performance range.
- the mouths of the first air guide stub 4 of the first row 6 are aligned with the flame tube, while the second air guide stub 5 of the second row 7 protrude into the flame tube, namely by a distance y which is 0.17- times the flame tube diameter d.
- the air jets emerging from the second air guide sockets 5 thus penetrate into the combustion zone up to the axis of the flame tube 3, capture the central region of the combustion zone and then form the above-mentioned movement together with the air jets emerging from the first air guide sockets 4 in the course of their upstream movement highly turbulent toroidal vertebrae.
- This type of injection of the combustion air via the balanced combination of the air guide stub 4 and the air guide stub 5 ensures a very even distribution over the cross section of the combustion zone, which contributes to the uniformity of the temperature distribution.
- the main air intake is through the first air duct. 4.
- the arrangement of the air guide stubs 4 and 5 is such that a first air guide stub 4 is located upstream of every second air guide stub 5.
- the second air guide sockets 5 projecting into the combustion zone are therefore reliably cooled by the combustion air emerging from the assigned first air guide sockets 4.
- Another feature that contributes to vortex formation or mixture formation and to the homogenization of the mixture and thus to lowering the temperature and making the temperature distribution more uniform is that
- Cross section of the first air guiding nozzle 4 - in contrast to the cylindrical cross-section of the second air guide stub 5 - is elongated in the direction of the flame tube axis, so that the air inlet extends over a certain axial length.
- Two guide vanes 8 in the first air guide stub 4 help to introduce the combustion air into the flame tube 3 in a targeted manner.
- the favorable flow guidance also contributes to the fact that the respective outlet mouth of the second air guide stub 5 of the second row 7 lies in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the associated air guide stub.
- the flame tube cover 1 forms on the inside a conical extension extending from the fuel nozzle 2 to the flame tube 3.
- This design of the flame tube cover area helps to stabilize the vortex flow.
- the gas is blown into this obliquely outwards, for which purpose the fuel nozzle has outlet openings 9 which are inclined away from the axis of the flame tube 3 in the direction of flow.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 represent a very particularly advantageous embodiment of the burner, which differs from that according to FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially in that second air guide stubs 5 are assigned third air guide stubs 4 ′ downstream.
- the latter thus deliver a proportionate air jet which extends along the downstream side of the associated air guide stub 5. This increases the cooling effect and also supports the formation of the highly turbulent toroidal vortex.
- a common feature of both embodiments is that, as can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 4, fourth air guide sockets 4 ' 1 are provided. Viewed in the axial direction, these are each located between adjacent second air guide sockets 5. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, they are located at the height of the first air guide sockets 4. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4, they are aligned, in the circumferential direction seen, with the first and third air guide 4 and 4 '. Otherwise they correspond to Nei- angle and arrangement of the first and third air guide stubs.
- the number of second air guiding stubs is less than that of the different types of air guiding stubs. This also applies to the cross-sectional ratio.
- the total cross-section of the second air guide stub 5 is 0.6 to 0.7 times the total cross section of the first and fourth air guide stubs 4, 4 ′′ (FIGS. 1 and 2) or the total cross section of the first, third and fourth Air guide socket 4, 4 ', 4 11 (Fig. 3 and 4).
- the flame tube 3 of both exemplary embodiments has further openings for combustion air downstream of the air guide stub in order to reduce the formation of CO. Also not shown are openings in the flame tube cover 1 and in the upstream region of the flame tube 3, the combustion air entering here primarily serving to cool the flame tube cover and flame tube.
- the air guiding spigot can be inclined at different angles. Furthermore, there is
- the combustion air is fed primarily via the two types of air guide stubs.
- the invention has been described with the aid of a gas burner, since this is its preferred field of application. However, it can also be applied to burners for vaporous, liquid or flowable solid fuels.
