Definitions
- the present invention relates to a premix burner with a swirl generator and a downstream mixing tube for the combustion of at least one fuel, respectively. for operation with one or more fuels, in particular for use in a gas turbine. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a method for operating such a premix burner.
- Burners for the combustion of liquid and / or gaseous fuels, in particular for use in a gas turbine, are known, which on the one hand have a high stability during operation, and on the other hand have good properties with respect to the NOx values.
- the premix burner described therein is a conical burner consisting of several shells, a so-called double-cone burner, for producing a closed swirl flow in the conical head, which becomes unstable due to the increasing swirl along the conical tip and merges into an annular swirl flow with backflow in the core.
- Fuels such as gaseous fuels, are injected along the channels formed by the individual adjacent shells, also called air inlet slots, and homogeneously mixed with the air before combustion by ignition at stagnation point of the recirculation zone or backflow bubble, which performs the function of a device-free flame holder , Liquid fuels are preferably injected via a central nozzle on the burner head and then evaporate in the conical cavity.
- AEV burner As he for example EP-A1-704,657 has become known.
- the proposed burner has a swirl generator on the head side, the basic aerodynamic principles of the above-described EV burner, for example according to EP-A1-0 321 809 , used.
- This swirl generator is arranged upstream of a mixing section whose structure will be explained in more detail below.
- a swirl generator which consists of a cylindrical or quasi-cylindrical tube, in which the air flows through similar longitudinal slots as in the EV swirl generator into the interior of the tube, wherein the desired swirling of the air to maximize the desired Premixing with a fuel injected at a suitable point takes place through a conically extending inner body, whereby this inner body tapers conically in the flow direction, whereby here too the conditions for an efficient swirl flow are given.
- the mixing section itself preferably consists of a tubular mixing element, referred to below as the mixing tube, which permits perfect premixing of the fuels used or of the fuels used.
- the flow from the swirl generator is thereby transferred seamlessly into the mixing tube. This is done by a transition geometry, which consists of transition channels, which form the head of this mixing tube, and which, as already indicated, transfer the flow in the subsequent effective flow cross-section of the mixing tube.
- This lossless flow introduction between swirl generator and mixing tube initially prevents the immediate formation of a backflow zone at the outlet of the swirl generator.
- the swirl intensity in the swirl generator is chosen by its geometry so that the bursting of the vortex is not in the mixing tube, but further downstream of the combustion chamber inlet, the length of this mixing tube is dimensioned so that there is a sufficient mixing quality for all fuel types. If, for example, the swirl generator used is constructed according to the principles of the double-cone burner, then so the swirl strength results from the design of the corresponding cone angle, the air inlet slots and their number. In the mixing tube itself, the axial velocity profile has a pronounced maximum on the axis and thus prevents flashbacks in this area. The axial velocity drops towards the wall.
- the entire speed level can be increased by using a mixing tube with a sufficiently small diameter.
- Another possibility is to increase only the speed in the outer region of the mixing tube by a small portion of the combustion air flows through an annular gap or through filming holes downstream of the transitional channels in the mixing tube.
- thermoacoustic vibrations pose a danger to any type of combustion application. They lead to high amplitude pressure oscillations, a limitation of the operating range and can increase pollutant emissions. This is especially true for combustion systems with low acoustic attenuation, such.
- combustion concepts for part-load operation of such burners are, for example, so-called burner staging, in which individual burners are switched off selectively, so that the remaining Burner can be operated at full load.
- burner staging in which individual burners are switched off selectively, so that the remaining Burner can be operated at full load.
- This concept can be used quite successfully in particular in annular combustion chambers with a plurality of mutually offset burner rings of different radius.
- the flame position can be influenced and thus the influence of flow instabilities as well as time delay effects reduced (eg in the EP-A1-1 292 795 described).
- pilot lances in such burners. It can namely pilot fuel (gaseous or liquid) for the pilot operation of the burner centrally supplied via a lance, as for example in the EP-A1-0 778 445 in the case of a double-cone burner and in WO-A-93/17279 such as EP-A1-0 833 105 and WO 2006/069861 for premix burner without resp. is described with downstream mixing section.

In other words, the displacement of these partial cone bodies 14 results in a tangential air inlet slot 17 between the two on both sides. Inside the two partial cone bodies 14, the burner interior 16 of the swirl generator is formed. Combustion air 4 enters through these tangential air inlet slots 7 in the burner interior 16 and forms a rotating and advancing forward, swirling combustion air flow.
