Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a premix burner according to claim 1 and a premix burner for carrying out such a method according to claim 5.
- the pilot flame In addition to stabilizing the combustion process, the pilot flame often also serves to ignite the respective combustion process, so that it is consequently positioned in the vicinity of an ignition orifice of the premix burner. Pollutant emissions take a back seat compared to the stabilization of the combustion process.
- a premix burner for gaseous fuels and a method for controlling this premix burner is shown in DE 10 2005 054 442 A1.
- This premix burner has a multi-stage main injection with a large number of main nozzles for injecting a gas-air mixture into a flame chamber and a central pilot gas system.
- a pilot flame of unmixed main fuel is formed via the pilot gas system. From start up to a predetermined load ratio only a certain number of main nozzles are turned on. If a predetermined load ratio exceeds or exceeds is stepped on, more main nozzles are switched on or already operated main nozzles are fed.
- This premix burner for gaseous fuels has a main injection and a central multi-stage pilot gas system.
- the main injection has a nozzle group of main nozzles for injecting a premixed main fuel.
- the central multi-stage pilot gas system has a nozzle group of diffusion nozzles for blowing in unmixed diffusion fuel and an independently controllable nozzle group of premix nozzles for additional injection of the premixed main fuel.
- the premix burner When the premix burner is ignited, the largest fuel fraction is introduced via the diffusion stages of the pilot gas system. As the load increases, the premix nozzles of the pilot gas system and main nozzles of the main injection are switched on. The diffusion nozzles are moved back. At full load, the premix nozzles and main nozzles are fully operational and the diffuser nozzles are reduced to a minimum of the total fuel mass flow.
- a disadvantage of this method is that the stability range of the combustion process, despite the multi-stage pilot gas system is not significantly disseminated. Furthermore, a complex control of the fuel supply is necessary. Furthermore, the premix burner is sensitive to changing fuel compositions.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for operating a premix burner for gaseous fuels, which is more stable to changing environmental conditions and can be easily adapted to changing fuel compositions and fuel qualities, and a premix burner for carrying out such a method.
- a method according to the invention provides for injecting a gas-air mixture as main fuel via a swirl generator into a flame chamber via a main injection.
- a diffusion fuel of a central pilot gas system is injected into the flame chamber in the form of at least two partial streams with different directions or orientations.
- the injection of the diffusion fuel according to the invention as at least two partial streams with different orientations effects a similar effect as a premix.
- a combustion process with the injection according to the invention shows a substantially improved stability as well as an increased flexibility compared to varying fuel compositions and fuel qualities.
- the first partial flow is injected transversely or perpendicularly to the flow direction of a main fuel stream forming in the flame chamber.
- the second partial flow is injected in the flow direction of the main fuel flow.
- the first partial flow transverse to the flow direction of the main fuel flow causes a similar effect as a premix.
- the second partial flow in the direction of flow of the main fuel flow shows less turbulence and less mixing than the first partial flow transversely to the flow direction, whereby the diffusion fuel fraction in the flow direction is less sensitive to changes and the respective combustion process is more stable.
- the gas-air mixture of the main injection is introduced radially into the flame chamber.
- the gas-air ratio of the main fuel is controlled by the air supply and not by the main fuel nozzles.
- An inventive premix burner for gaseous fuels has a flame chamber, a Hauptsindüsung for injecting a gas-air mixture as Main fuel in the flame chamber, a swirl generator for swirling the main fuel and arranged in the burner bottom central pilot gas system for injecting a diffusion fuel.
- the pilot gas system has a multi-stage design with at least one axial diffusion nozzle for injecting a first partial flow of the diffusion fuel and one or more diffusion nozzles arranged obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the burner for feeding in a second partial flow of the diffusion fuel.
- the at least one employed diffusion nozzle is set in the direction of flow of the main fuel stream.
- a plurality of axial and annealed diffusion nozzles are provided.
- the axial diffusion nozzles are located radially on the outside and the employed diffusion nozzles are positioned radially in the interior of the burner bottom.
- the axial and annealed diffusion nozzles may form two or more concentric circles, the common center being on the burner longitudinal axis.
- the diffusion nozzles can have different geometries.
- the diffusion nozzles are formed as bores, grooves or longitudinal slots.
- the pilot gas system preferably has more axial diffusion nozzles than employed diffusion nozzles. In particular, twice as many axial diffusion nozzles as employed diffusion nozzles can be provided.
- the premix burner is formed as a can burner with an at least partially cylindrical flame tube which is spaced from the burner bottom via the swirl generator.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a premix burner according to the invention in the burner bottom region
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the burner bottom from FIG. 1.
- FIG. 1 shows a greatly simplified partial longitudinal section through a premix burner 2 according to the invention for a gas turbine.
- the premix burner 2 is designed as a can burner with a cylindrical flame chamber 4 for gaseous or liquid fuel. It has a main injection 6 and a central multi-stage pilot gas system 8 according to the invention.
- the flame chamber 4 is bounded on one side in the axial direction by a burner base 10 and radially by a flame tube 12.
- An end section 14 of the flame tube 12 facing away from the burner base 10 is widened in the shape of a funnel.
- the main injection 6 is used to inject a gas-air mixture as a premixed main fuel 16.
- the injection takes place radially to the burner longitudinal axis 18 via unspecified main nozzles, which open into a radial swirl generator 20.
- the main injection has 24 main nozzles.
- the radial swirl generator 20 is arranged between the burner base 10 and the flame tube 12. It causes the main fuel 16 to be acted upon by a swirl pulse and swirled into the flame chamber 4 occurs. In the flame chamber 4, a main fuel flow whose direction is indicated by the respective arrows.
- the pilot gas system 8 is used for injecting a non-premixed diffusion fuel and has a multiplicity of axial diffusion nozzles 22a, 22b and a multiplicity of diffusion nozzles 24a, 24b set obliquely to the burner longitudinal axis 18.
- the diffusion fuel is injected into the flame chamber 4 via the axial diffusion nozzles 22a, 22b and the employed diffusion nozzles 24a, 24b as two partial streams 26, 28.
- the axial and employed diffusion nozzles 22a, 22b, 24a, 24b are arranged in the burner bottom 10, so that an injection of the partial streams 26, 28 takes place downstream of the entry of the main fuel stream 16.
- the axial diffusion nozzles 22a, 22b transverse or perpendicular to the flow direction of the main fuel 16 in the flame chamber 4 cause the first partial flow 26 to be intensively mixed with the main fuel 16.
- the employed diffusion nozzles 24a, 24b are oriented such that the second partial stream 28 is injected into the flame chamber 4 in the flow direction of the main turbulence fuel 16 and the mixing is thus minimized, which promotes the stability of the combustion process.
- the axial diffusion nozzles 22a, 22b,... And the employed diffusion nozzles 24a, 24b,... Form two concentric circles whose common center point 30 lies on the burner longitudinal axis 18.
