Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Dämpfung von akustischen Schwingungen in Brennkammern und insbesondere eine Vorrichtung zur Dämpfung von akustischen Schwingungen in Gasturbinen mit einstellbarer Resonatorfrequenz.The present invention relates to a device for damping of acoustic vibrations in combustion chambers and in particular a device for damping acoustic vibrations in gas turbines with adjustable resonator frequency.
Eine Gasturbinenanlage umfasst im einfachsten Fall eine Verdichter, eine Brennkammer sowie eine Turbine. Im Verdichter erfolgt ein Verdichten von angesaugter Luft, welcher anschließend ein Brennstoff beigemischt wird. In der Brennkammer erfolgt eine Verbrennung des Gemisches, wobei die Verbrennungsabgase der Turbine zugeführt werden, von der den Verbrennungsabgasen Energie entzogen und in mechanische Energie umgesetzt wird.A gas turbine plant in the simplest case comprises a compressor, a combustion chamber and a turbine. In the compressor there is a compression of sucked air, which subsequently a fuel is added. In the combustion chamber there is a combustion of the mixture, wherein the Combustion gases are supplied to the turbine, of the Combustion exhausted energy and into mechanical energy is implemented.
Schwankungen in der Brennstoffqualität und sonstige thermische oder akustische Störungen führen jedoch zu Schwankungen in der freigesetzten Wärmemenge und damit der thermodynamischen Leistung der Anlage. Dabei liegt eine Wechselwirkung von akustischen und thermischen Störungen vor, die sich aufschwingen können. Derartige thermoakustische Schwingungen in den Brennkammern von Gasturbinen - oder auch Strömungsmaschinen im allgemeinen - stellen ein Problem bei dem Entwurf und bei dem Betrieb von neuen Brennkammern, Brennkammerteilen und Brennern für derartige Strömungsmaschinen dar.Fluctuations in fuel quality and other thermal or acoustic interference, however, lead to fluctuations in the amount of heat released and thus the thermodynamic Performance of the plant. There is an interaction of acoustic and thermal disturbances that soar can. Such thermoacoustic vibrations in the combustion chambers of gas turbines - or turbomachinery in general - pose a problem in the design and in the operation of new combustors, combustor parts and Burners for such turbomachines.
Um Schadstoffemmisionen zu verringern, wird in modernen Anlagen der Kühlmassenstrom verringert. Dadurch wird auch die akustische Dämpfung verringert, so dass thermoakustische Schwingungen zunehmen können. Dabei kann es zu einer sich aufschaukelnden Wechselwirkung zwischen thermischen und akustischen Störungen kommen, die hohe Belastungen der Brennkammer und steigende Emissionen verursachen können. To reduce pollutant emissions, is used in modern facilities the cooling mass flow is reduced. This is also the acoustic Attenuation is reduced, allowing thermoacoustic Vibrations can increase. It can become a rocking interaction between thermal and acoustic Disruptions come, the high loads of the combustion chamber and can cause rising emissions.
Zur Verringerung von thermoakustischen Schwingungen werden deshalb im Stand der Technik z.B. Helmholtz-Resonatoren zur Dämpfung eingesetzt, die - innerhalb eines bestimmten Frequenzbandes - die Amplitude von Schwingungen wirksam dämpfen.To reduce thermoacoustic vibrations therefore in the prior art e.g. Helmholtz resonators for Damping used - within a certain frequency band - Effectively dampen the amplitude of vibrations.
Derartige Helmholtz-Resonatoren dämpfen in Abhängigkeit von der Querschnittsfläche des Verbindungsrohres und vom Resonatorvolumen insbesondere die Amplitude von Schwingungen mit der Helmholtzfrequenz. Bei stärker abweichenden Frequenzen läßt die Wirkung mit zunehmendem Frequenzunterschied stark nach.Such Helmholtz resonators attenuate depending on the cross-sectional area of the connecting tube and the resonator volume in particular the amplitude of vibrations with the Helmholtz frequency. For more different frequencies leaves the effect strong with increasing frequency difference to.
Bei z.B. Verwendung unterschiedlicher Brennstoffe, im Teillastbereich oder beim Starten der Anlage verschieben sich die Frequenzen, unter denen verstärkte thermoakustische Schwingungen auftreten. Bei gleichbleibender Dämpfungsvorrichtung arbeitet diese dann nicht im vorausberechneten günstigsten Betriebspunkt und kann die auftretenden thermoakustischen Schwingungen nicht mehr optimal dämpfen. Die verbleibenden thermoakustischen Schwingungen führen zu einem höheren Schadstoffausstoß und zu einer höheren Lärmbelastung.At e.g. Use of different fuels, in the partial load range or when you start the system, the Frequencies under which amplified thermoacoustic vibrations occur. At the same damping device then this does not work in the most favorable way Operating point and can the occurring thermoacoustic No longer dampen vibrations optimally. The remaining Thermoacoustic vibrations lead to a higher emission of pollutants and to a higher noise level.
Aus der US 2002/0000343 A1 ist es bekannt geworden, einen Resonator mit einstellbarer Frequenz zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei dem das effektive Volumen des Resonanzraums einstellbar ist. Das wir erreicht, indem im Resonatorraum des Resonators ein hohler Körper vorgesehen ist, dessen Volumen über einen Faltenbalg veränderbar ist. Mit Ausfahren des Faltenbalgs vergrößert sich das Volumen des hohlen Körpers, wodurch das effektive Volumen des Resonanzraums des Resonators verkleinert wird. Darüber ist eine Frequenzeinstellung möglich.From US 2002/0000343 A1 it has become known, a resonator with adjustable frequency, in which the effective volume of the resonance chamber is adjustable is. We achieved this by placing in the resonator cavity of the resonator a hollow body is provided whose volume over a Bellows is changeable. With extension of the bellows increases the volume of the hollow body, causing the reduces the effective volume of the resonant cavity of the resonator becomes. In addition, a frequency setting is possible.
Nachteilig daran ist aber die aufwendige Konstruktion. Außerdem muß der Faltenbalg innerhalb des Resonators derartig ausgeführt sein, dass er den hohen Belastungen dauerhaft widersteht. The disadvantage of this is the complex construction. Furthermore The bellows must be carried out within the resonator in such a way be that he withstands the high loads permanently.
Es ist deshalb die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zur Dämpfung von thermoakustischen Schwingungen in Brennkammern und insbesondere eine Vorrichtung zur Dämpfung von thermoakustischen Schwingungen in Gasturbinen zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei welchen mit einfachen Mitteln die Resonatorfrequenz zur Dämpfung von thermoakustischen Schwingungen einstellbar ist.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a Device for damping thermoacoustic vibrations in combustion chambers and in particular a device for damping of thermoacoustic vibrations in gas turbines To provide, in which by simple means the Resonator frequency for damping thermoacoustic oscillations is adjustable.

Depending on the operating conditions, a setting also during operation later or online be performed.
Eine derartige einfache Verstellbarkeit ist insbesondere vorteilhaft bei der Prototyperprobung und auch bei der Inbetriebnahme. Eine erheblicher Vorteil der einfachen Einstellbarkeit ergibt sich auch bei stark unterschiedlichen Betriebsbedingungen, hervorgerufen z.B. durch starke Umgebungstemperaturänderungen oder durch den Betrieb mit unterschiedlichen Brennstoffen.Such simple adjustability is particularly advantageous during prototype testing and also during commissioning. A significant advantage of easy adjustability even with very different operating conditions, caused e.g. due to strong ambient temperature changes or by operating with different ones Fuels.
Mit einer geregelten automatischen Verstellung können Schwingungen besonders effektiv gedämpft werden.With a controlled automatic adjustment can vibrations be damped particularly effectively.
