Abstract
Description
- Disclosed embodiments are generally related to combustion turbine engines, such as gas turbine engines and, more particularly, to a combustion system having a reduced combustion residence time.
- In gas turbine engines, fuel is delivered from a fuel source to a combustion section where the fuel is mixed with air and ignited to generate hot combustion products that define working gases. The working gases are directed to a turbine section where they effect rotation of a turbine rotor. It is known that production of NOx emissions from the burning fuel in the combustion section may be reduced by providing a portion of the fuel to be ignited downstream from a main combustion zone. This approach is referred to in the art as a distributed combustion system (DCS). See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,375,726 and 8,752,386.
- It is also known that certain ducting arrangements in a gas turbine engine may be configured to appropriately align the flow of working gases, so that, for example, such flow alignment may be tailored to avoid the need of a first stage of flow-directing vanes in the turbine section of the engine. See for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,721,547 and 8,276,389. Each of the above-listed patents is herein incorporated by reference.

FIG. 1 is a fragmentary schematic representation of one non-limiting embodiment of a ducting arrangement with fuel injectors disposed at a location in a flow-accelerating structure, such as a flow-accelerating cone, characterized by a relatively lower static temperature and a reduced combustion residence time, each of which is conducive to reduce NOx emissions at the high firing temperatures of a combustion turbine engine. -
FIG. 2 illustrate non-limiting plots of decreasing static temperatures as a function of increasing flow speed between the cone inlet and the cone outlet in the flow-accelerating cone shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate further non-limiting embodiments of ducting arrangements with fuel injectors disposed at respective flow-accelerating cones. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic of a Ili& injector, which in one non-limiting embodiment may be arranged to provide jet in cross-flow injection, -
FIG. 6 is a schematic of a fuel injector, which in another non-limiting embodiment may be arranged without providing jet in cross-flow injection - The inventors of the present invention have recognized synergies that result from an innovative integration of what up to the present invention have been perceived as seemingly independent combustor design approaches, such as may involve a distributed combustion system (DCS) approach, and an advanced ducting approach in the combustor system of a combustion turbine engine, such as a gas turbine engine. With the integration of these design approaches, in certain non-limiting embodiments, it is now feasible to achieve a decreased static temperature and a reduced combustion residence time, each of which is conducive to reduce NOx emissions to be within acceptable levels at turbine inlet temperatures of approximately 1700° C. (3200° F.) and above.

FIG. 1 is a fragmentary schematic representation of anadvanced ducting arrangement 10 in one non-limiting embodiment of a combustor system of a combustion turbine engine, such as a gas turbine engine. Inadvanced ducting arrangement 10, a plurality offlow paths 12 blends smoothly into a single,annular chamber 14. In one non-limiting embodiment, eachflow path 12 may be configured to deliver combustion gases formed in a respective combustor to a turbine section of the engine without a need of a first stage of flow-directing vanes in the turbine section of the engine. - In one non-limiting embodiment, each
flow path 12 includes acone 16 and an integrated exit piece (IEP) 18. In one non-limiting embodiment, eachcone 16 has acone inlet 26 having a circular cross section and configured to receive the combustion gases from a combustor outlet (not shown). The cross-sectional profile ofcone 16 narrows toward acone outlet 28 that is associated with anIEP inlet 30 in fluid communication with each other. - Based on the narrowing cross-sectional profile of
cone 16, as the flow travels fromcone inlet 26 tocone outlet 28, the flow of combustion gases is accelerated to a relatively high subsonic Mach (M) number, such as without limitation may comprise a range from approximately 0.3 M to approximately a 0.8 M, and thuscone 16 may be generally conceptualized as a non-limiting embodiment of a flow-accelerating structure. Accordingly, the combustion gases may flow throughcone 16 with an increasing flow speed, and as a result, this flow of combustion gases can experience a decreasing static temperature incone 16. - For example, see
FIG. 2 that illustrates anon-limiting plot 40 of decreasing static temperature as a function of increasing flow speed between the cone inlet and the cone outlet incone 16, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . By way of comparison,FIG. 2 further illustrates aplot 42 of total temperature, which is essentially independent of the increasing flow speed between the cone inlet and the cone outlet. - The inventors of the present invention have cleverly recognized that by injecting fuel and air at locations of the cone having a relatively lower static temperature, such as a location between
cone inlet 26 andcone outlet 28, it is feasible to effectively bring the reaction temperature below the NOx formation threshold even though, in certain non-limiting embodiments, the firing temperature may be approximately 1700° C. and higher. That is, the injector location is in a location where the static temperature is lower compared to the static temperature atcone inlet 26. For the sake of simplicity of illustration,FIG. 1 illustrates asingle injector 32, as may comprise an assembly of an air scoop and a fuel nozzle, in connection with each of the cones illustrated inFIG. 1 ; it will be appreciated, however, that multiple injectors may be circumferentially distributed in eachcone 16. -
FIG. 3 illustrates another non-limiting embodiment of aducting arrangement 50 where a flow-acceleratingcone 51 may be made up of two or more interconnected cone sections, in lieu of a single-piece flow-accelerating cone, as described above. In one non-limiting embodiment, afirst cone section 52 may be arranged to receive the combustion gases from acombustor outlet 54, and a second.cone section 56, affixed at one end tofirst cone section 52, may be arranged to supply the combustion gases to acorresponding IEP inlet 58. In one non-limiting embodiment,cone sections flattened portion 60 defining a non-varying cross sectional profile where theinjectors 32 may be located. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , in one non-limiting embodiment, a respective manifold 34 (e.g., a ring manifold) is fluidly coupled to thefuel injectors 32. In one non-limiting embodiment,manifold 34 may be affixed (e.g., bolted) between respective interconnectingflanges - Returning to
FIG. 2 , one can appreciate a furthernon-limiting plot 44 of static temperature as a function of flow speed between the cone inlet and the cone outlet in the context of flow-acceleratingcone 51, as shown inFIG. 3 . Aportion 46 ofplot 44 corresponds toflattened portion 60 ofcone 51, where, although the flow speed may be constant overflattened portion 60, such flow speed would be lower compared to the static temperature atcone inlet 26. - It will be appreciated that in one
non-limiting embodiment injectors 64 may be disposed to provide jet in cross-flow injection, as schematically illustrated inFIG. 5 , Alternatively, injectors 66 may be positioned normal to awall 62 of the flow-accelerating cone, as schematically illustrated inFIG. 6 , wherearrow 68 schematically represents flow direction. It will be appreciated that one can use injector angles relative to the flow direction other than those illustrated inFIGS. 5 and 6 , and thus aspects of the present invention are not limited to injector angles normal to the flow or normal to the wall. That is, aspects of the present invention are not limited to any particular modality of injectors or to any particular injector angle relative to the flow direction. - In operation, disclosed embodiments are expected to be conducive to a combustion system capable of realizing approximately a 65% combined cycle efficiency or greater in a gas turbine engine. Disclosed embodiments are also expected to realize a combustion system capable of maintaining stable operation at turbine inlet temperatures of approximately 1700° C. and higher while maintaining a relatively low level of NOx emissions, and acceptable temperatures in components of the engine without an increase in cooling air consumption.
- While embodiments of the present disclosure have been disclosed in exemplary forms, it will he apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications, additions, and deletions can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and its equivalents, as set forth in the following claims.
