This means that part of the compressed air coming from the compressor 11 is passed through the annular gap 22 to the rear wall 24 of the burner, where it is deflected by 180 ° and then passes through the main fluid inlet opening 8 into the jet nozzle 2. This air mass flow flows through the jet nozzle 2 in the direction indicated by an arrow 10 direction.

Both the fuel 12 and the additional compressed air can be injected at any other angle between 0 ° and 90 ° to the main flow direction 10 at different axial positions in the jet nozzle 2. Since, for example, for natural gas, the fuel mass flows are significantly lower than the air mass flows, no significant increase in the pressure loss is to be expected even in the case of a vertical fuel injection. The fuel 12 can also be injected counter to the air flow direction 10.
- the fuel can be supplied via one or more fuel supply lines 13 and transported via a ring distributor 7 to the individual jet nozzles 2.

- the air used for the axially stepped Heileindüsung of the present embodiment can be removed either from the annular gap 22 or directly from a surrounding the burner 301 plenum and are injected into the fuel-air mixture in the jet nozzle.
- the air can be introduced as a jet in the cross flow or as a wall film.
- the advantage of jet-in-cross-flow injection is a contribution to increased mixing of the fuel-air mixture, while wall-film formation is primarily a measure against potential flashback.
- the air can be injected tangentially with respect to the circumference of the jet nozzle 2 in this. In this case, a wall film can be produced on the entire inner surface of the jet nozzle 2. Tangential injection can also be used to generate turbulence in the jet nozzle 2.
- jet-in-cross-flow injection with a wall-film injection by arranging the nozzles very shortly after one another.
- the jet-in-cross flow injection provides for improved mixing, especially in the core region of the jet, and the film of the second jet strengthens the flow boundary layer and thus prevents flashback.
- This embodiment is particularly advantageous for a central co-flow injection in the Hauptbrennscherindüsung, for example for synthesis gas. With a high proportion of air in the axial staging, it is possible to adjust the nozzle diameter of the jet nozzle so that the flow velocity in the nozzle remains substantially the same.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Verringerung von selbstinduzierten Flammenschwingungen und einen Brenner, mit dem dieses Verfahren durchgeführt werden kann.The present invention relates to a method for reducing self-induced flame vibrations and a burner with which this method can be carried out.
Selbstinduzierte Flammenschwingungen treten vielfach in Brennkammern auf und werden in diesem Zusammenhang auch als Brennkammerbrummen bezeichnet. Für die Ausbildung von Brennkammerschwingungen sind eine Rückkopplung zwischen Druckänderungen in der Brennkammer und Massenstromschwankungen von Brennstoff und Luft verantwortlich. Die Brennkammerschwingungen stellen einen unerwünschten Nebeneffekt des Verbrennungsvorganges dar, da sie eine erhöhte mechanische und thermische Belastung der Brennerbauteile und der Brennkammerbauteile bewirken. Zudem verursacht das Brennkammerbrummen eine erhöhte Lärmbelastung in der Umgebung der jeweiligen Brennkammer.Self-induced flame vibrations often occur in combustion chambers and are referred to in this context as Brennkammerbrummen. For the formation of combustion chamber vibrations, a feedback between pressure changes in the combustion chamber and mass flow fluctuations of fuel and air are responsible. The combustion chamber vibrations are an undesirable side effect of the combustion process, since they cause an increased mechanical and thermal loading of the burner components and the combustion chamber components. In addition, the combustion chamber hum caused an increased noise in the environment of the respective combustion chamber.

Eine Verringerung des Brennkammerbrummens beziehungsweise eine Minimierung von selbstinduzierten Flammenschwingungen wird bisher teilweise mithilfe von Helmholtz-Resonatoren erreicht. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, dem verwendeten Brenner eine erhöhte Pilotgasmenge zuzuführen. Pilotgas beziehungsweise Pilotbrennstoff wird üblicherweise zur Stabilisierung der Flamme eingesetzt. Eine erhöhte Zuführung von Pilotgas führt allerdings auch zu erhöhten NOx-Emissionen.A reduction in the combustion chamber humming or a minimization of self-induced flame vibrations has been achieved in part by using Helmholtz resonators. Another possibility is to supply the burner used an increased pilot gas quantity. Pilot gas or pilot fuel is usually used to stabilize the flame. However, an increased supply of pilot gas also leads to increased NO x emissions.
Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein vorteilhaftes Verfahren zur Verringerung von selbstinduzierten Flammenschwingungen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Es ist eine weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen vorteilhaften Brenner zur Verfügung zu stellen.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an advantageous method for reducing self-induced flame vibrations. It is another object of the present invention to provide an advantageous burner.
Die erste Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 und Anspruch 2 gelöst. Die zweite Aufgabe wird durch einen Brenner nach Anspruch 11 und 12 gelöst. Die abhängigen Ansprüche beinhalten weitere, vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.The first object is achieved by a method according to
In dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Verringerung von selbstinduzierten Flammenschwingungen wird in einen ersten Fluidmassenstrom, der eine Strahldüse von einer Fluideinlassöffnung zu einer Fluidauslassöffnung durchströmt, an mindestens einer in Bezug auf die Fluideinlassöffnung stromabwärts gelegenen axialen Position der Strahldüse ein zweiter Fluidmassenstrom eingedüst. Zusätzlich wird ein zuvor vom ersten Fluidmassenstrom abgezweigter dritter Fluidmassenstrom an mehreren in axialer Richtung zueinander versetzt angeordneten Position des Umfanges der Strahldüse in den ersten Fluidmassenstrom eingedüst. Von den ersten und zweiten Fluidmassenströmen umfasst dabei einer Luft. Der andere Fluidmassenstrom umfasst einen Brennstoff. Indem der Brennstoff und/oder die Luft an mehreren axialen Positionen in einen die Strahldüse durchströmenden Hauptfluidmassenstrom eingedüst wird, wird das Antwortverhalten zum Beispiel des Brennstoffmassenstroms so verschmiert, dass sich eine Resonanz nur noch für einen geringen Anteil des Massenstroms einstellen kann. Durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird eine Verschmierung der Verzögerungszeit zwischen Eindüsung und Verbrennung erreicht. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann insbesondere bei dem Betrieb eines Strahlbrenners umgesetzt werden, wobei die positiven Eigenschaften eines Strahlbrenners erhalten bleiben.In the method according to the invention for reducing self-induced flame oscillations, a second fluid mass flow is injected into a first fluid mass flow which flows through a jet nozzle from a fluid inlet opening to a fluid outlet opening at at least one axial flow position of the jet nozzle downstream of the fluid inlet opening. In addition, a third fluid mass flow branched off in advance from the first fluid mass flow is injected into the first fluid mass flow at a plurality of positions of the circumference of the jet nozzle which are offset relative to one another in the axial direction. Of the first and second fluid mass flows thereby includes an air. The other fluid mass flow includes a fuel. By injecting the fuel and / or the air at several axial positions into a main fluid mass flow flowing through the jet nozzle, the response behavior, for example of the fuel mass flow, is so smeared that resonance can only occur for a small proportion of the mass flow. By the method according to the invention, a smearing of the delay time between injection and combustion is achieved. The inventive method can be implemented in particular in the operation of a jet burner, wherein the positive properties of a jet burner are maintained.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich wird der zweite Fluidmassenstrom an mindestens einer in Bezug auf den Umfang der Strahldüse gelegenen radialen Position der Strahldüse eingedüst.
Dies erreicht, wie oben bereits beschrieben, ebenfalls die Verschmierung der Verzögerungszeit zwischen Eindüsung und Verbrennung.Alternatively or additionally, the second fluid mass flow is injected at at least one radial position of the jet nozzle with respect to the circumference of the jet nozzle.
This achieves, as already described above, also the smearing of the delay time between injection and combustion.
Bevorzugt werden unterschiedliche radiale Brennstoffverteilungen realisiert. Hier ist es z.B. im Teillastbetrieb von Vorteil die inneren Bereiche, d.h. den Bereichen welche zur Mitte eines Gehäuses zeigen, fetter zu fahren. Somit können Flammenverlöschen und CO-Emissionen vorgebeugt werden.Preferably, different radial fuel distributions are realized. Here, for example, it is advantageous in partial load operation, the inner areas, ie the areas which show to the center of a case to go fatter. Thus, flame extinction and CO emissions can be prevented.
Bei dem einen Brennstoff umfassenden Fluidmassenstrom kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Luft-Brennstoff-Gemisch handeln. Bei dem verwendeten Brennstoff kann es sich insbesondere um gasförmigen Brennstoff, beispielsweise um Erdgas oder um ein Synthesegas, handeln. Da für Erdgas die Brennstoffmassenströme deutlich geringer sind als die Luftmassenströme, ist auch im Falle einer Eindüsung senkrecht zur Strömungsrichtung der Luft nicht mit einer signifikanten Erhöhung des Druckverlustes zu rechnen. Des Weiteren kann das Verfahren auch auf flüssige Brennstoffe angewandt werden.The fluid mass flow comprising a fuel can be, for example, an air-fuel mixture. The fuel used may in particular be gaseous fuel, for example natural gas or a synthesis gas. Since for natural gas, the fuel mass flows are significantly lower than the air mass flows, even in the case of injection perpendicular to the flow direction of the air is not expected to increase significantly the pressure loss. Furthermore, the method can also be applied to liquid fuels.
Vorzugsweise können der zweite und/oder der dritte Fluidmassenstrom in einem Winkel zwischen 0° und 90° in den ersten Fluidmassenstrom eingedüst werden. Zum Beispiel kann der zweite Fluidmassenstrom in einem Winkel von 90° in den ersten Fluidmassenstrom eingedüst werden und der dritte Fluidmassenstrom in einem Winkel von 45° in den ersten Fluidmassenstrom eingedüst werden. Der Vorteil der Strahl-in-Querströmungseindüsung ist ein Beitrag zu einer erhöhten Mischung des Luft-Brennstoff-Gemisches, während eine Wandfilmbildung vor allem eine Maßnahme gegen Flammenrückschlag ist.Preferably, the second and / or the third fluid mass flow can be injected into the first fluid mass flow at an angle between 0 ° and 90 °. For example, the second fluid mass flow may be injected into the first fluid mass flow at an angle of 90 ° and the third fluid mass flow may be injected into the first fluid mass flow at an angle of 45 °. The advantage of jet-in-cross flow injection is a contribution to increased mixing of the air-fuel mixture, while wall film formation is primarily a measure against flashback.

The burner according to the invention is characterized in that secondary fluid inlet openings are connected to the first fluid line and arranged at a plurality of positions offset in the axial direction relative to one another along the circumference of the jet nozzle.
Alternativ umfasst der erfindungsgemäße Brenner mindestens eine Strahldüse mit einer Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung und einer Fluidauslassöffnung, wobei die Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung mit einer ersten Fluidzuleitung verbunden ist, wobei an mindestens einer in Bezug auf den Umfang der Strahldüse gelegenen radialen Position der Strahldüse mindestens eine Fluidnebeneinlassöffnung, die mit einer zweiten Fluidzuleitung verbunden ist, angeordnet ist. Die alternative Form des erfindungsgemäßen Brenners ist ebenfalls dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen mit der ersten Fluidleitung verbunden und an mehreren in axialer Richtung zueinander versetzt angeordneten Positionen entlang des Umfanges der Strahldüse angeordnet sind.Alternatively, the burner according to the invention comprises at least one jet nozzle having a main fluid inlet opening and a fluid outlet opening, the main fluid inlet opening being connected to a first fluid supply line, at least one fluid secondary inlet opening being connected to a second fluid supply line at at least one radial position of the jet nozzle relative to the circumference of the jet nozzle is connected, is arranged. The alternative form of the burner according to the invention is likewise characterized in that secondary fluid inlet openings are connected to the first fluid line and are arranged at a plurality of positions arranged offset to one another in the axial direction along the circumference of the jet nozzle.
Weiterhin können die Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen und die Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung jeweils eine Mittelachse aufweisen. Dabei können die Mittelachsen der Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen einen Winkel zwischen 0° und 90° zu der Mittelachse der Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung und/oder zu der Mittelachse der Strahldüse aufweisen. Vorteilhafterweise können die Mittelachsen eines ersten Teiles der Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen einen Winkel von 90° zu der Mittelachse der Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung und/oder zu der Mittelachse der Strahldüse aufweisen und die Mittelachsen eines zweites Teiles der Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen einen Winkel von 45° zu der Mittelachse der Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung und/oder zu der Mittelachse der Strahldüse aufweisen. Der Vorteil der Strahl-in-Querströmungseindüsung ist ein Beitrag zu einer erhöhten Mischung des Luft-Brennstoff-Gemisches, während eine Wandfilmbildung vor allem eine Maßnahme gegen Flammenrückschlag ist.Furthermore, the fluid sub-inlet openings and the main fluid inlet opening can each have a central axis. In this case, the center axes of the fluid sub-inlet openings may have an angle between 0 ° and 90 ° to the central axis of the main fluid inlet opening and / or to the center axis of the jet nozzle. Advantageously, the center axes of a first part of the fluid sub-inlet ports may be at 90 ° to the central axis of the main fluid inlet port and / or the central axis of the jet nozzle and the central axes of a second portion of the fluid sub-inlet ports may be at 45 ° to the central axis of the main fluid inlet port and / or the central axis of the Have jet nozzle. The advantage of jet-in-cross-flow injection is a contribution to increased mixing of the air-fuel mixture, while wall-film formation is primarily a flash back-off measure.
Die Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen und die Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung können jeweils eine Mittelachse aufweisen und die Mittelachsen der Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen können einen Winkel zwischen 0° und 90° zu einer radialen Richtung in Bezug auf die Mittelachse der Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung aufweisen. Dadurch kann tangential entlang des Umfanges der Strahldüse eingedüst und auf diese Weise ein Wandfilm an der inneren Oberfläche der Strahldüse erzeugt werden. Ein Eindüsen entlang des Umfanges der Strahldüse kann auch zur Erzeugung von Wirbeln in der Strahldüse genutzt werden.The fluid sub-inlet openings and the main fluid inlet opening may each have a central axis and the central axes of the fluid sub-inlet openings may have an angle between 0 ° and 90 ° to a radial direction with respect to the central axis of the main fluid inlet opening. This can be injected tangentially along the circumference of the jet nozzle and in this way a wall film can be produced on the inner surface of the jet nozzle. An injection along the circumference of the jet nozzle can also be used to generate vortices in the jet nozzle.
Mehrere mit Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen verbundene Fluidzuleitungen können über einen entlang des Umfanges der Strahldüse angeordneten Ringverteiler mit einander verbunden sein.A plurality of fluid supply lines connected to fluid side inlet openings may be connected to one another via a ring distributor arranged along the circumference of the jet nozzle.
Zudem kann eine Brennstoffdüse in der Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung oder unmittelbar vor der Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung angeordnet sein. Die Brennstoffdüse kann einen Brennstoffverteiler umfassen, der in oder unmittelbar vor der Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung angeordnet ist.In addition, a fuel nozzle can be arranged in the main fluid inlet opening or directly in front of the main fluid inlet opening. The fuel nozzle may include a fuel distributor disposed in or immediately in front of the main fluid inlet port.
Mindestens eine Fluidnebeneinlassöffnung kann als entlang des Umfanges der Strahldüse verlaufender Ringspalt ausgestaltet sein. In diesem Fall kann der erfindungsgemäße Brenner mehrere Strahldüsen umfassen, wobei die Ringspalte der verschiedenen Strahldüsen an jeweils unterschiedlichen axialen Positionen angeordnet sind. Durch die Variation der axialen Posi tionen der Ringspalte wird ein zusätzlicher Designparameter gegen thermoakustische Flammenschwingungen gewonnen.At least one secondary fluid inlet opening may be designed as an annular gap extending along the circumference of the jet nozzle.

Die Strahldüse 2 ist strömungstechnisch mit einem Kompressor verbunden. Die von dem Kompressor kommende Druckluft wird über einen Ringspalt 22 zur Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung 8 geleitet und/oder über eine Lufteinlassöffnung 23 radial in Bezug auf die Mittelachse 5 der Strahldüse 2 zur Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung 8 geleitet. In dem Fall, dass die Druckluft durch den Ringspalt 22 der Strahldüse 2 zugeführt wird, strömt die komprimierte Luft durch den Ringspalt 22 in Richtung des mit der Bezugsziffer 15 gekennzeichneten Pfeils, also parallel zur Mittelachse 5 der Strahldüse 2. Die in Richtung des Pfeils 15 strömende Luft wird dann an der Rückwand 24 des Brenners 1 um 180° umgelenkt und strömt anschließend durch die Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung 8 in die Strahldüse 2. Die Strömungsrichtung der Luft innerhalb der Strahldüse 2 ist durch einen Pfeil 10 gekennzeichnet.The
Zusätzlich oder alternativ zu einer Zufuhr der Druckluft durch den Ringspalt 22 kann die von dem Kompressor kommende Druckluft auch durch eine Öffnung 23, die in dem Gehäuse 6 des Brenners 1 radial in Bezug auf die Mittelachse 5 der Strahldüse 2 angeordnet ist, zugeleitet werden. Die Strömungsrichtung der durch die Öffnung 23 strömenden Druckluft ist durch einen Pfeil 26 gekennzeichnet. In diesem Fall wird die Druckluft anschließend um 90° umgelenkt und strömt dann durch die Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung 8 in die Strahldüse 2.Additionally or alternatively to a supply of compressed air through the
Der Brenner 1 kann grundsätzlich auch ohne den äußeren Gehäuseteil 27 beziehungsweise ohne äußeres Gehäuse 27 ausgestaltet sein. In diesem Fall kann die Druckluft direkt in das "Plenum", also den Bereich zwischen der Rückwand 24 und der Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung 8, strömen. Der erfindungsgemäße Brenner 1 kann weiterhin auch ohne die Rückwand 24 ausgestaltet sein.In principle, the
Die Strahldüse 2 ist radial von einem Ringverteiler 7 umgeben, der über eine Brennstoffzuleitung 13 mit Brennstoff 12 versorgt wird. Der Ringverteiler 7 weist eine Anzahl an Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen 14 auf, durch welche Brennstoff in den durch die Strahldüse 2 strömenden Luftmassenstrom eingedüst werden kann. Die Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen 14 können als Schlitz oder ovale Düse ausgeführt sein. Dies ist besonders von Synthesegaseindüsung von Vorteil, da damit der Luftströmung eine kleinere Anströmfläche geboten wird. Hieraus ergibt sich auch eine geringere Tendenz zur Rezirkulation hinter der Brennstoffeindüsung. Die Strömungsrichtung des durch die Fluidnebeneinlassöffnungen 14 in die Strahldüse 2 eingedüsten Brennstoffes 12 ist durch Pfeile 17 gekennzeichnet. Die Strömungsrichtung 17 des eingedüsten Brennstoffes 12 verläuft dabei senkrecht zur Mittelachse 5 der Strahldüse 2 und damit auch senkrecht zur Hauptströmungsrichtung 10 der durch die Strahldüse 2 strömenden Druckluft 11.The

Grundsätzlich kann der Brennstoff über ein oder mehrere Brennstoffzuleitungen 13 zugeführt und über einen Ringverteiler 7 zu den einzelnen Strahldüsen 2 transportiert werden. Im Falle des Vorliegens mehrerer Brennstoffzuleitungen 13 können diese vorteilhafterweise entlang des Umfanges des Brenners angeordnet werden. Es ist weiterhin vorteilhaft, wenn die Eindüsung des Brennstoffes in den Luftstrahl an mehr als einer axialen Position des Strahlrohres 2 vollzogen wird. Zudem kann für eine bessere Durchmischung an mehreren Umfangspositionen des Strahlrohres 2 eingedüst werden.In principle, the fuel can be supplied via one or more

Die für die axial gestufte Lufteindüsung des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispieles verwendete Luft kann entweder aus dem Ringspalt 22 oder direkt aus einem den Brenner 301 umgebenden Plenum entnommen werden und in das Brennstoff-Luft-Gemisch in der Strahldüse eingedüst werden. Die Luft kann dabei als Strahl in die Querströmung oder als Wandfilm eingebracht werden. Der Vorteil einer Strahl-in-Querströmungseindüsung ist ein Beitrag zu einer erhöhten Mischung des Brennstoff-LuftGemisches, während eine Wandfilmbildung vor allem eine Maßnahme gegen einen möglichen Flammenrückschlag ist. Weiterhin kann die Luft tangential in Bezug auf den Umfang der Strahldüse 2 in diese eingedüst werden. Dabei kann auf der kompletten inneren Oberfläche der Strahldüse 2 ein Wandfilm erzeugt werden. Ein tangentiales Eindüsen kann zudem zur Wirbelerzeugung in der Strahldüse 2 genutzt werden.The air used for the axially stepped Lufteindüsung of the present embodiment can be removed either from the
Denkbar ist auch eine Strahl-in-Querströmungseindüsung mit einer Wandfilmeindüsung zu kombinieren, indem die Düsen sehr kurz hintereinander angeordnet sind. Die Strahl-in-Querströmungseindüsung sorgt für eine verbesserte Mischung, vor allem auch im Kernbereich des Strahls, und der Film der zweiten Düse stärkt die Strömungsgrenzschicht und verhindert somit einen Flammenrückschlag. Diese Ausgestaltung ist insbesondere vorteilhaft für eine zentrale Co-Flow-Eindüsung in der Hauptbrennstoffeindüsung, zum Beispiel für Synthesegas. Bei einem hohen Luftanteil in der axialen Stufung ist es möglich, die Düsendurchmesser der Strahldüse so anzupassen, dass die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit in der Düse im Wesentlichen gleich bleibt.It is also conceivable to combine a jet-in-cross-flow injection with a wall-film injection by arranging the nozzles very shortly after one another. The jet-in-cross flow injection provides for improved mixing, especially in the core region of the jet, and the film of the second jet strengthens the flow boundary layer and thus prevents flashback. This embodiment is particularly advantageous for a central co-flow injection in the Hauptbrennstoffeindüsung, for example for synthesis gas. With a high proportion of air in the axial staging, it is possible to adjust the nozzle diameter of the jet nozzle so that the flow velocity in the nozzle remains substantially the same.

Die Brennstoffdüse 19 umfasst einen Brennstoffverteiler 20, mit dessen Hilfe an verschiedenen radialen Positionen und verschiedenen Umfangspositionen der Fluidhaupteinlassöffnung 8 Brennstoff 12 in die Strahldüse 2 eingedüst werden kann.
