  • This invention relates to the combustion of fuel in a manner such that production of smoke and of oxides of nitrogen is reduced.
  • Method 1 Aqueous vapor is injected from a manifold tube connected to the outlet of an air compressor into the space surrounding the inner tube of the combustion chamber.
  • this method In this method, a large amount of vapor flows into the intermediate combustion zone and dilution zone from the mid portion to the rear portion of the combustion chamber, lowering the gas temperature in the combustion chamber, with the result that the amount of smoke generated increases. Furthermore, this method requires an extremely large amount of aqueous vapor (about twice as much aqueous vapor as fuel) for reducing the amount of oxides of nitrogen formed.
  • Method 2 Aqueous vapor is injected from around a fuel injection valve.
  • the spray cone angle occasionally decreases depending upon the relation betweenthe position and the amount of aqueous vapor injection, with the result that the amount of smoke generated may be increased.
  • a method of burning fuel to which water has been added, in a combustion chamber in which water-containing fuel and air are admitted to the combustion chamber via substantially concentric orifices and combustion takes place in the presence of the water in a high temperature combustion zone.
  • the water can be added to the fuel as liquid or as aqueous vapor or steam.
  • the preferred high temperature for the combustion is in the range of from I500 to l600C.
  • apparatus for burning fuel in accordance with the above-defined method which apparatus comprises a combustion chamber provided with substantially concentric orifices for the admission of fuel and air to the combustion chamber, and means for supplying fuel to the combustion chamber including a mixing chamber and a water-injection tube extending into the mixing chamber which water-injection tube has a plurality of apertures in its wall whose cross-sectional areas decrease progressively towards the end of the water-injection tube, for uniformly mixing water with the fuel.
  • a combustion chamber for a gas turbine can be divided over its length into three sections, or zones, according to what happens in that zone.
  • the primary combustion zone air entering through ports in the liner tends to recirculate and move up-stream against the fuel spray. During combustion this action permits rapid combustion and prevents flame blowout by forming a low-velocity stabilization zone which acts as a continuous pilot for the rest of the combustion chamber.
  • air en tering through ports in the liner mixes and burns any remaining combustible matter which was not burned in the primary combustion zone.
  • the dilution zone air enters through ports in the liner and cools and dilutes the hot gases.
  • orifices for admission of combustion air to a combustion chamber are distributed concentrically around a fuel valve to increase the air ratio in the primary combustion zone and thereby tend to raise the combustion temperature at the combustion zone and provide conditions under which the combustion of fuel particles is accomplished in a very short period of time.
  • the fuel is burned in the presence of water. Under these conditions the combustion temperature is lowered due to the fuel particle dividing action of the water evaporating in the fuel, so that the flames become short in length and the residence time of the fuel becomes short. Consequently. the fuel particles burn out in a very short period of time in the primary combustion zone and the amount of smoke generated is reduced.
  • the ratio of air to oxides of nitrogen is also high but the major amount of oxygen is consumed in the complete combustion of fuel.
  • the residence time of air retained by the short flames is short, which provides less opportunity for formation of oxides of nitrogen.
  • oxides of nitrogen in an intermediate combustion zone can also be suppressed by closing the combustion air inlet ports in the intermediate combustion zone.
  • Volatile oils can be atomized relatively easily. Therefore. when volatile oils are burned. the generation of smoke and oxides of nitrogen can be controlled by concentrating the combustion air to the primary combustion zone to elevate the combustion temperature and to shorten the flames at the primary combustion zone and thus to form a local zone in which complete combustion occurs and by injecting a slight amount of water controllably into the zone, The injection of water into the high temperature combustion zone is an important factor for encouraging the generation of active hydroxyl groups by the decomposition of water at high temperature. but substantially the same condition can also be realized by previously mixing water in the fuel.
  • a water injection tube extends into a flow of fuel passing in a fuel supply tube leading to a fuel injection device.
  • the water injection tube is provided with water injection apertures the opening area ratio of which progressively reduces from the upper portion to the lower portion of the tube.
  • Combustion air is supplied concentrically to a primary combustion zone to elevate the temperature of said zone locally and reduce the length of the combustion flames, and thereby to achieve complete combustion of fuel particles in a short period of time.
  • aqueous vapor is injected into the spray cone of fuel particles concurrently with the supply of the combustion air as described above or water is previously mixed in the fuel, and the carbon eliminating effect and the oxides of nitrogen reducing effect of the active hydroxyl groups formed in the high temperature combustion zone are utilized.
  • the generation of smoke is reduced or prevented by increasing the combustion rate by atomizing the fuel into as small a particle size as possible, and by burning out the fuel particles before they are cooled by the cool air from a dilution zone. Further, the oxygen partial pressure decreases and the rate of the reaction forming oxides of nitrogen is slowed down as the length of the hydrocarbon flames becomes shorter and the time for the oxidation reaction of nitrogen in air to oxides of nitrogen becomes shorter.
  • the water added to the fuel or the aqueous vapor injected into the high temperature combustion zone as fuel atomizing fluid lowers the combustion temperature at the zone but also further divides the fuel particles in the vicinity of the zone by the energy which is released upon evaporation. Furthermore, the water decomposes at high temperature as shown below and generates active hydroxyl groups OH.
  • FIG. 1 is a graph showing the effect of the combustion method according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a view showing briefly one form of combustion chamber employing the combustion method of the invention

  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line IV-IV of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of fuel supply system comprising the water-adding device of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 1 shows the measured B.S.N. and oxides of nitrogen content of the exhaust gas from a combustion chamber in' accordance with the invention, which was used with a 11 MW gas turbine and operated at full load with heavy oil fuels A and B with water mixed therein. It will be seen that, while the effect of the combustion chamber is variable depending upon the type of fuel used, the effect appears from a mixing ratio of water to fuel of about 2% and is highest at a mixing ratio of about 8l0%.
  • the B.S.N. value of the smoke decreased about 1 unit and the smoke became substantially invisible when water was added to the fuel at a ratio of about 6%. In this case, the concentration of oxides of nitrogen also decreased materially to the order of 30 PPM.
  • An important feature of the invention is that, by mixing a very small amount (68%) of water with a fuel by a simple method, it is possible to reduce the level of smoke and oxides of nitrogen and the toxic components in the exhaust gases can be controlled by adjusting the amount of water added.
  • the injection of aqueous vapor at an inadequate position rather results in an increase in the smoke level and an amount of aqueous vapor equal to or more than the amount of fuel is required to be injected.
  • FIG. 2 A combustion chamber which can be used in the combustion method of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • reference numeral 1 designates a fuel injection valve, 2 a swirler valve, 3 combustion air inlet ports and 4 cooling air inlet ports.
  • Reference character a designates a primary combustion zone, b an intermediate combustion zone and c a dilution zone.
  • the swirler valve 2 has rotary vanes (suitably inclined to the axis of the combustor at an angle of 3035) arranged around the fuel injection valve 1 and air, preferably from to 14% of the total, is admitted to the combustion chamber via the swirler valve.
  • the combustion air passage ports 3 provided in the wall of the combustion chamber at the primary combustion zone are respectively provided with combustion air guide tubes, the total opening area of the combustion air passage ports in the primary combustion zone being 25-40% of the total opening area of all air passage ports of the combustion chamber.
  • About 25 to 30% of the total air supplied enters the primary combustion zone a via inlet ports 3.
  • the primary combustion zone a constitutes a local high temperature zone, into which fuel with water mixed therein is injected.
  • About 25 to 30% of the total air supplied enters the combustion chamber via inlet ports 4 in the dilution zone 0.
  • the remaining 30 to 35% of the total air supplied flows past and cools the outer periphery of the combustion chamber.
  • FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 One form of water-adding device according to the invention, by which water is mixed in the fuel, will be described with reference to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5.
  • a portion of a fuel supply tube 11 leading to the fuel injection valve is enlarged to form a fuelwater mixing chamber or barrel and a flange I3 is formed at the top end of a branch tube extending upwards from the fuel-water mixing chamber as shown.
  • a water injection tube 14 provided with water-injection apertures 5 extends into the fuel-water mixing chamber substantially perpendicularly to the flow of fuel.
  • the tube 14 is removably secured to the flange 13 by mean's of bolts.
  • the water-injection tube 14 is removed from the mixing chamber when the adjustment of the water injection apertures becomes necessary or when the addition of water is not desired, and in the latter case the top opening of the flanged tube is closed with a blind cover.
  • the apertures 5 are formed through the wall of that portion of the water injection tube 14 which is lo cated within the fuel-water mixing barrel in three vertical rows in three directions as shown in FIG. 4 and each of said apertures 5 has a diameter of l-2mm.
  • One of these three vertical rows of apertures is directed to inject water in countercurrent with the fuel flow. Where the flow rate of fuel is low, some of these apertures are selectively closed to obtain the desired fuel-water mixing ratio.
  • the totalopening area of the water injection apertures is made equal to or less than the transverse cross-sectional area of the water injection tube and the amount of water injected is adjusted by adjusting the number of apertures used.
  • the frictional loss within the water injection tube is small and the velocity of water in the tube progressively decreases downwards since the water flows out of the tube through the apertures at each pitch and becomes zero at the lower end of the tube. Since the water restores the static pressure towards the lower end of the water injection tube, an increasing amount of water is discharged from the tube from the lower apertures.
  • the diameter of the water injection apertures is progressively reduced from the upper to lower portion of the water injection tube. From a practical point of view, it is preferred, for realizing approximately uniform distribution of water particles, to change linearly the diameter of the aperture from 2mm. at the highest apertures to 1mm. at the lowest apertures. According to a combustion experiment conducted with such a water injection device, the fuel burns with highly stable flames, without fluctuation of the combustibility of the fuel with the passage of time, and the water particles are distributed uniformly in the fuel and move constantly while continuing random motions.

  • the water-adding device can be incorporated simply in the fuel supply systems of a conventional combustion chamber.
  • a fuel supply tube 21 leading from the outlet of a fuel pump (not shown) is closed by a blind flange 22 and the fuel-water mixing device 12 described above is provided in a branch tube 23 which diverges from the fuel supply tube 21.
  • Water is supplied from a water injection pump P through a manually operated valve 24 to the water injection tube 14 of the mixing device 12.
  • a water pump proportional to fuel flow may be used for the water pump P to supply water at a rate proportional to the flow rate of fuel.
  • a fuel-water mixture supply tube 25 leading to a fuel injection nozzle is slightly inclined over a length of about IO meters to prevent the separation of fuel and water and said portion of the mixture supply tube should be free of pockets and concaves.
  • a drain valve is preferably provided at the lowest portion of the system for draining the 7 water from the system when the combustion chamber is out of operation.
  • Reference character A designates combustion chambers.
  • a suitable amount of water to be added is up to about 10% of the amount of fuel, which is only l/lO-l/ of that used in the conventional method for reducing formation of oxides of nitrogen by the injection of aqueous vapor. This is one of the advantageous features of the present invention.
  • the fuel-water mixing device 12 is provided on the discharge side of the fuel pump in the fuel supply system shown in FIG. 5, it may of course be provided on the suction side of the pump. In this case. a circulating pump needs to be provided for continuously stirring the fuel in the fuel tank because otherwise the fuel would be returned to the fuel tank by the action of a pressure regulating valve provided on the discharge side of the fuel pump and the water mixed in the fuel would settle at the bottom of said tank.
