DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of a gas turbine in which the pollutant reduction and combustion efficiency are improved according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Hereinafter, it is to be noted that the following description is only an embodiment for carrying out the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the contents of the embodiments described below.
In the following description of the embodiments of the present invention, parts that are the same as or similar to those of the prior art, or which can be easily understood and practiced by a person skilled in the art, It is important to bear in mind that we omit.
That is, in order to solve the problems of the prior art gas turbines, which have not been described in the technical contents for improving the combustion efficiency and reducing pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) as described later, When the combustion air is supplied to the combustor of the gas turbine, the flame is maintained in a stable state by mixing the combustion gas with the combustion gas which is hot and inert compared with the general air by the combustion gas recirculation. Low oxygen dilution By inducing combustion, it is possible to improve the combustion efficiency with a simple structure without requiring a separate structure for preheating the air, and to reduce pollutant emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) To a gas turbine having improved material abatement and combustion efficiency.
The present invention also relates to a method for reducing the amount of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) while improving the combustion efficiency of a gas turbine, as described later, In addition to inducing the MILD combustion in which the flame is kept in a stable state by mixing with the air and supplying it to the combustor, the combustion air is supplied by supplying the combustion air using the Coanda effect when the combustion air and the combustion gas are mixed Temperature combustion gas which is sucked (or attracted) by the combustion air and the supplied combustion air are mixed, the oxygen concentration of the combustion air can be effectively diluted in a short time and heated to a high temperature, It is possible to improve the combustion efficiency more efficiently by a simple constitution without requiring a separate constitution for nitrogen oxides And more particularly to a gas turbine with improved pollution reduction and combustion efficiency which is configured to significantly reduce the emission of pollutants such as water (NOx).
Next, with reference to the drawings, the specific contents of the gas turbine with improved pollution material reduction and combustion efficiency according to the present invention will be described.
First, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a view schematically showing a configuration of a conventional gas turbine.
1, the
1, a conventional gas turbine generates power by driving a turbine using high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gases generated by mixing fuel with compressed air and burning the fuel as described above, It is required to reduce the pollution substance such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), which is a typical pollutant that necessarily occurs due to the combustion of the fuel, while it is required to improve the fuel efficiency, that is, the combustion efficiency.
More specifically, referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a graph showing basic combustion characteristics of a conventional combustor using air as an oxidizer.
That is, in the case of a conventional combustor using air as an oxidizer, as shown in FIG. 2, it can be confirmed that when the temperature is measured along the central axis of the burner, there exists a high temperature region of almost 2000K like a heat spot .
Here, since nitrogen oxides (NOx) are concentrated very quickly in the high-temperature region, it is important to lower the high-temperature region in order to reduce NOx.
In recent years, a method of preheating air by recovering the heat of the combustion gas by using a heat exchanger to increase the combustion efficiency has been used. In this case, however, the peak temperature of the flame is further increased, There is a problem that the temperature of the flame zone is not increased when the air is preheated.
More specifically, referring to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is a graph showing the oxygen concentration and the temperature distribution at the maximum temperature on the burner centerline.
As shown in FIG. 3, when the oxygen concentration in the combustor using the conventional combustion method is as high as 7%, the air is preheated to 1200 K (1) and the air is preheated to 1600 K (2) It is seen that the maximum temperature of NOx is greatly increased, and the generation of NOx is greatly increased.
However, if the concentration of oxygen is lowered to 1%, even if the air is preheated to 1600 K (③), the maximum temperature of the flame is greatly lowered, while the temperature of the downstream part is relatively low, Can be confirmed.
Therefore, when preheated air is supplied, it is preferable to reduce the oxygen concentration as described above. To this end, conventionally, a method has been used in which the combustible gas after combustion of the fuel is returned and mixed with air.
That is, referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a graph showing an appearance area of MILD combustion.
As shown in FIG. 4, when the flue gas after cooling is recirculated, the region where the flame is stabilized is greatly narrowed. If the amount of the recirculated flue gas is increased, the flame becomes unstable or turned off.
On the other hand, when the combustible gas is recirculated while maintaining a high temperature above the ignition temperature of the fuel, it can be seen that the flame temperature is uniform and a very stable flame region C appears. Thus, MILD (Moderate and Intense Low Oxygen Dilution) combustion is a combustion method that keeps the flame stable by keeping the combustion air at a high temperature while reducing the oxygen concentration of the combustion air by recirculating the combustion gas while heating above the temperature.
Here, in the MILD combustion method, a heat exchanger may be used to increase the temperature of the air while recirculating the flue gas. At this time, it is common to raise the temperature of the air above the ignition temperature of the fuel (generally, 1000 ° C or more) The heat storage regenerative heat exchanger is generally used.
However, such a regenerative regenerative heat exchanger has a structure in which a high temperature combustion gas is passed through a heat storage material of a ceramic type and heated to a high temperature, then air flows again toward the heat storage material to obtain a high temperature, (4-way switching valve), which can withstand high temperatures, is used to alternately flow the liquid and the liquid.
Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention have found that, in a combustor for a gas turbine, MILD combustion is achieved by recycling the combustion gas without using a separate structure having a complicated structure and a high cost, as in the conventional heat exchanger, , A combustor for a gas turbine of a new structure capable of reducing the generation of pollutants such as NOx, and a gas turbine including such a combustor.

Therefore, the high temperature combustion gas is mixed with the combustion air so that the oxygen concentration is diluted to about 15 to 17%, and at the same time, the temperature of the combustion air is rapidly heated by the high temperature combustion gas, Deg.] C, and the combustion air is diluted and preheated by the high temperature combustion gas through the

When the pipe through which the air is supplied is relatively small (for example, the diameter is 24 mm or less), the amount of the combustion gas sucked by the suction force by the coanda nozzle is about 3.8 times the supply amount of the supplied combustion air However, when the pipe through which the air is supplied is large (for example, a diameter of 100 mm or less), the amount of the combustion gas sucked by the suction force by the coanda nozzle is about twice the supply amount of the supplied combustion air So that the efficiency is reduced.
