Description
- The invention relates to a burner according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Such burners are preferably used for firing the combustion chamber of a gas turbine. Such burners are known from
EP 1 389 713 B1 and comprise a swirl generator and a downstream mixing tube. The burner head is provided with a pilot burner system to support the main flame. The pilot burner system comprises a mixing cavity for mixing pilot fuel and assist air. The mixing cavity of the known burner is of a pure circumferential shape. Since such a design bears the risk for the pilot flame to burn inside themixing cavity EP 2 268 975 B1 proposes a solution with swirler wings being arranged in the vicinity of the pilot fuel/air mix outlet nozzles. - The mixing of fuel and air is mainly due to the tangential interaction of fuel and air streams. But still the pilot fuel-air mixing is limited, and fuel rich pockets are directed towards the combustion chamber. Therefore, the pilot flame is an external air assisted diffusion like flame that has inherent flame stability but can also create high NOx emission due to this diffusion mode combustion.
- Further, the combustor dump locations contribute to flame stabilization as will be shown in
Figure 3 . - The object of the present invention is to improve a burner of the above type in such a way that NOx emission is reduced.
- The present invention solves the above problem by providing a burner with a burner head comprising a main mixing tube for premixing combustion air and fuel, wherein the main mixing tube is provided with a pilot burner system in its downstream part, wherein the pilot burner system comprises an annular mixing cavity with an entrance for air in its upstream end, with an entrance for pilot fuel and with an outlet nozzle in its downstream end, wherein a pilot mixing tube extends inside the mixing cavity between the air entrance and the outlet nozzle with a pilot mixing tube length exceeding a distance between the upstream and the downstream ends of the mixing cavity.
- The non-premixed behavior of the pilot flame is one of the major sources of NOx. The extended mixing path inside the mixing cavity of the inventive burner improves fuel and air mixing and reduces the formation of NOx. Further premixing of the pilot stage is possible when the pilot flame has an additional flame stabilization point. The present invention is intended to increase the pilot fuel mixing and inherently to reduce the NOx without affecting the flame stability.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the mixing cavity comprises a conical front surface facing away from the burner axis and the outlet nozzle is arranged in that conical front surface with an injection angle perpendicular to the front surface.
- It is particularly advantageous when a pilot fuel entrance of the mixing cavity is in its downstream part and a pilot fuel entrance of the pilot mixing tube is in its upstream part.
- According to a preferred embodiment, a cooling channel is arranged in at least a part of a radially outer wall and the downstream end of the mixing cavity.
- Yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the cooling channel opens out at the conical front surface at an inner position compared to the outlet nozzle as seen in a radial direction of the burner.
- According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the cooling channel begins at an upstream part of the mixing cavity.
- According to a further embodiment of the invention the pilot mixing tube is a spiral tubing arrangement.
- Alternatively, the pilot mixing tube comprises secondary tubes that merge before opening out into the outlet nozzle.
- In another alternative embodiment, the pilot mixing tube comprises steps.
- It is advantageous, when the pilot mixing tube is fully integrated with the mixing cavity, especially when the pilot burner system is additively manufactured.
- The present invention additionally relates to an annular combustion chamber of a gas turbine, which is characterized in that at least two, preferably at least 10 burners as described above are arranged within the combustion chamber.
- To sum up, the mixing of fuel and air can be improved by introducing additively manufactured pilot fueling arrangement with additional mixing length. With the invention mixing at the pilot burner stage exit can be controlled more efficiently. The overall fuel-air mixing is improved. The enhanced mixing can produce lower NOx emission without affecting the combustion stability. A variable mixing length is possible for different fuels. Variable location fuel injection possibility can widen the fuel flexibility of the pilot stage combustion.

Figure 1 shows a pilot fuel-air mixing arrangement in prior art design according toEP 2 268 975 B1Pilot fuel 19 is provided through agas channel 16. Thegas channel 16 emerges into amixing cavity 17. Assistair 20 for burning thepilot fuel 19 is led into themixing cavity 17 through air channels (not shown) and is deflected byswirler vanes 18. As can be seen fuel and air mixing is mainly due to a tangential interaction of fuel and air streams. Due to a relatively short mixing length, the mixing is limited, and a center rich pilot jet is directed toward the combustion chamber. -
Figure 2 shows a burner arrangement in anannular combustion chamber 15 with pilot injection holes 21 arranged in a conicalfront surface 9 of a downstream part of the respective burner 1. -
Figure 3 shows a pilot flame stabilization process due to dump plane in a double cone burner 1. Fuel and air enter themain mixing tube 2 throughtangential slots 22 of a swirler prior entering thecombustion chamber 15. Due to the broadening amain recirculation zone 23 of themain flame 26 forms with aforward stagnation point 24 at the entry level of thecombustion chamber 15.Pilot fuel 19 and air are added to thecombustion chamber 15 radially outwardly with respect to the main air and fuel, thepilot fuel 19 and air formingexternal recirculation zones 25 with opposite direction of rotation compared to themain recirculation zone 23. -
Figure 4 shows a cut through of a prior art double cone burner 1 with a burner head comprising amain mixing tube 2 for premixing combustion air and fuel, wherein themain mixing tube 2 is provided with a pilot burner system 3 in its downstream part. The pilot burner system 3 is highlighted by a rectangular box and shows the prior art design that has already been presented inFigure 1 . - The relatively small partially premixed pilot arrangement of the prior art can be replaced with a cavity filled with fuel and tube arrangements according to the invention.
- The invention is explained in
Figure 5 showing a cut through a simplified sketch of the mixingcavity 4 of the pilot burner system 3, the pilot burner system 3 comprising anannular mixing cavity 4 with an entrance 5 for air in its upstream end, with anentrance 6 for pilot fuel and with an outlet nozzle 7 in its downstream end. Apilot mixing tube 8 extends inside the mixingcavity 4 between the air entrance 5 and the outlet nozzle 7. Thepilot mixing tube 8 length exceeds a distance between the upstream and the downstream ends of the mixingcavity 4 which is achieved by a meanderingpilot mixing tube 8. Further, thepilot mixing tube 8 is fully integrated with the mixingcavity 4 and given the geometry is suitable for being additively manufactured. - The mixing
cavity 4 comprises a conicalfront surface 9 facing away from the burner axis 10 (seefigure 3 ). The outlet nozzle 7 is arranged in that conicalfront surface 9 with an injection angle perpendicular to thefront surface 9. - Under operating
conditions pilot fuel 19 is provided through achannel 27 arranged in the wall of themain mixing tube 2 which is also the radially inner wall of the mixingcavity 4 and enters the mixingcavity 4 at its downstream part where it travels in the opposite direction and enters thepilot mixing tube 8 in its upstream part so that thepilot mixing tube 8 carries the air and the fuel. The fuel supply is indicated by lines and arrows infigure 5 . The fuel injection holes at thepilot fuel entrance 11 of thepilot mixing tube 8 can be of different cross section like oval/triangular or circular to get the penetration. Additionally, swirl can also be introduced in the fuel holes if required. -
Figure 6 shows a cut through an alternative embodiment of theannular mixing cavity 4 for supplying fuel and air in the pilot burner system 3 with more safety features or film air to protect the metal.Figure 6 shows a coolingchannel 12 arranged in at least a part of a radiallyouter wall 13 and the downstream end of the mixingcavity 4 for a small stream of air. The coolingchannel 12 opens out at the conicalfront surface 9 at an inner position compared to the outlet nozzle 7 as seen in a radial direction of the burner 1. The coolingchannel 12 begins at an upstream part of the mixingcavity 4. Further, thefront surface 9 is cooled by the fuel which is then introduced inside the mixingcavity 4 for mixing. - Different tubing arrangements for increasing the fuel-air mixing are possible inside the mixing
cavity 4.Figure 7 shows thepilot mixing tube 8 realized as a spiral tubing arrangement inside the mixingcavity 4. -
Figure 8 shows a multiple pilot tube arrangement where thepilot mixing tubes 8 comprise steps. The step type tubing can be in X-Y or X-Z plane. The X-Z plane, which is parallel to the burner outer surface, opens many possibilities to place the pilot mixing tube bundles. -
Figure 9 shows a pilot fuel arrangement wheresecondary tubes 14 combine inside the mixingcavity 4 before opening out into the outlet nozzle 7. - From the examples shown in
Figures 7 to 9 it becomes clear that single or multiplepilot mixing tube 8 arrangements can be incorporated based on design requirements. The location of the entrance for pilot fuel of the mixingcavity 4 can be varied to achieve a specific degree of mixing of fuel and air. - Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited by the disclosed examples, and that numerous additional modifications and variations could be made thereto by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.
