Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of combustion technology. It relates to a method for operating a premix burner according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Fig. 1 along a burner axis 15 comprise a premix burner 11 producing an air / fuel mixture 12 in the form of a double-cone burner and a subsequent mixing tube 13 opening into a combustion chamber 14 ( EP-A2-0 704 657 . EP-A1-0 913 630 . US-A-6,045,351 . WO-A1-2006 / 069861 DE-A1-4417538 . EP-A2-0694740 . EP-A2-1207350 ).
- Essential for the invention is a mixing tube which has a constriction, wherein at the height of the constriction means are provided for the injection of highly reactive, in particular H2-rich fuel.
- the constriction (as constriction) can be moved upstream.
- the highly reactive fuel is then injected directly at the bottleneck.
- An embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the mixing tube tapers conically in a first mixing pipe section from the swirl generator to constriction, and that the mixing tube in a second mixing pipe section from the constriction to the combustion chamber in diameter significantly smaller than at the output of the swirl generator Case is ..
- the second mixing pipe section starting at the constriction can have a constant diameter up to the combustion chamber.
- the second mixing pipe section can also be slightly conical up to the combustion chamber.
- the means for injecting highly reactive, in particular H2-rich, fuel in the region of the constriction comprise nozzles which take over a fuel feed.
- premix burner As far as the design of the premix burner is concerned, it is readily possible to provide it without a transition section between the swirl generator and the mixing tube. Such a premix burner goes out EP-A1-0 321 809 out.
- a further embodiment of the premix burner provides, in a transition region between the swirl generator and the mixing tube, transition channels for transferring a swirl flow formed in the swirl generator into the flow cross section of the mixing tube arranged downstream of these transition channels.
- Such a design goes out EP-0 704 657 A1 out.
- a further embodiment of the premix burner provides to provide a cylindrical or quasi-cylindrical tube, which consists of partial shells, and in which the combustion air flow flows through tangentially arranged air inlet slots or channels in the interior.
- the desired swirling of the combustion air stream to maximize the desired premix with at least one fuel injected at a suitable point is achieved by a conical or quasi-conically extending in the flow direction of the inner body. mitbewerkstelligt. Such a configuration is for example EP-0 777 081 A1 out.
- the inventive method is advantageously used to operate a gas turbine plant with at least one combustion chamber.
- this configuration allows a safe (i.e., greatly reduced flashback probability) lean premix combustion of highly reactive fuels.
- the injection of the high-reactive fuel takes place via fuel feeds 19 and nozzles 22 directly or in the vicinity of the constriction 18 (see the arrows), where the air velocities of the combustion air are greatest.
- the cylindrical mixing tube portion 17b downstream of the constriction 18 with its significantly reduced diameter is characterized by high air velocities, which prevent flashback.
- This section also represents at the same time the mixing section, which allows a good air / fuel mixture at the outlet of the burner assembly 17.
- An additional important feature of this burner assembly 17 is the utilization of the Venturi effect.
- the lower static pressure at the throat 18, i. at the point where the fuel is injected means that it is possible to achieve sufficient fuel injection and penetration with relatively low fuel pressures, thereby substantially reducing the use of costly fuel compression.
- the premix burner is still suitable for lean standard premix operation with natural gas and oil, provided that care is taken that the fuel does not accumulate on the walls of the converging first mixing pipe portion 17a.
- the burner assembly 16 according to Fig. 2 enables operation with 3 fuels ("tri-fuel operation").
- Benefits also arise when an improvement of the radial distribution of the fuel due to the divergent streamlines is sought.
- the method for operating a premix burner according to the invention is particularly suitable for hot gas generation in gas turbine plants, in which fuels are burned with a high H2 content.
