Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for plasma reforming fuel, in particular kerosene, for engine applications.
- the engine industry partially enforces two-stage combustion with "hot pilot combustion” and a downstream “colder main combustion” to significantly reduce NO x emissions.
- the NO x production is favored in particular by high combustion temperatures. It is therefore a method is sought, with which it is possible to reduce the combustion temperature and in particular temperature peaks in the combustion while at the same time as far as possible complete combustion of the fuel (also with respect to carbon particles).
- the object of the present invention is thus to provide a method which, when the fuel used is completely combusted, reduces the combustion temperature and in particular temperature peaks.
- the objective object is solved by the aspects of the present invention which are defined in the independent patent claims.
- Advantageous developments are set forth in the dependent claims.
- the objective object is achieved in a first aspect by a method for plasma reforming of fuel, in particular kerosene, in which fuel first in an expansion nozzle (3) transferred to the plasma state and then further fuel is injected into the plasma, to be split in the heat into components such as CO, C and H.
- the method according to the first aspect of the present invention has the advantages that the elementary and / or low molecular weight components of the fuel produced in the plasma burn completely even at reduced temperatures of about 1000 ° C.
- the objective object is achieved by a device (1) for plasma reforming of fuel, in particular kerosene, which has an expansion nozzle (3) with adjoining combustion chamber (5), wherein the expansion nozzle (3) is connected to a conduit (7) is connected to a hollow waveguide (11) and nozzles (13) which connect to an energy source (9) so that a plasma flame (15) can be generated in the expansion nozzle (3) and the combustion chamber (5) is connected to air nozzles (17), so that a combustion flame (19) can be generated.
- the apparatus (1) according to the second aspect of the present invention has advantages in that, by being shaped like a water-jet pump, the fuel in the plasma state expands extremely rapidly through the expansion nozzle (3) and thereby attracts the combustion air so that it does not comes to pump in the compressor of an engine.
- the device is relatively small and can be used well for engine applications.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a device (1) according to the invention for plasma reforming of fuel, such as kerosene.
- the fuel is passed through the line (7) to the inlet of the expansion nozzle (3).
- Energy is expelled via a hollow waveguide (11) an energy source (9) for generating the plasma state supplied.
- an energy source 9 for generating the plasma state supplied.
- the plasma reforming according to the invention preferably requires a high-pressure thermal plasma, for example an arc discharge or advantageously a microwave plasma.
- the resulting plasma flame (15) is then injected through nozzles (13) further fuel, in particular kerosene, to be split in the heat in components such as CO, C and H.
- further fuel in particular kerosene
- the elementary and / or low molecular weight components in the highly ionized state can completely burn even at low temperatures than in conventional propellant levels, preferably at about 1000 0 C.
- the plasma flame (15) is expanded at high speed into the combustion chamber (5). Due to this high velocity of the highly ionized constituents in the plasma flame (15), the combustion chamber (5) adjoining the expansion nozzle (3) can be used like a water jet pump. As a result, the intake of the air necessary for combustion from the air nozzles (17) takes place without additional means for supplying air. In addition to the lower equipment costs, it also prevents unwanted pumping in the compressor.
- the combustion taking place in the combustion chamber (5) takes place completely even at reduced temperatures of about 1000 ° C., since the plasma state of the fuel (consisting essentially of ions and free-radical hydrocarbon) Fragments) requires a significantly lower activation energy for combustion., Preferably, the combustion takes place at extreme excess air.
- the inventive method for plasma reforming of fuel such as kerosene
- the formation of NO x is significantly reduced by lowering the combustion temperature to about 1000 0 C in particular.
- only part of the fuel is converted to the plasma state by the energy from the energy source (9).
- the remaining fuel is split by the generated plasma itself into its elemental and / or low molecular weight constituents. Therefore, the energy used can be significantly reduced and the size of the power source (9) can be remarkably reduced.
- the device of the present invention can be made smaller by the smaller expenditure on equipment (for example, missing pumps for the combustion air).
- Another advantage is the connection of the markedly reduced energy source (9) via a waveguide (11) with the expansion nozzle (3).
- the waveguide (11) is a decentralized arrangement of the power source (9).
