Definitions
- This invention relates to the field of apparatus for reducing nitrogen oxide emission from internal combustion engines and turbines or hydrogen generation in general, and more particularly injector mixture device for receiving separate air/fuel mixtures within a combustion chamber and to which water may be added to the combusted effluent to increase the production of hydrogen.
- Normal burners operate air rich with fuel in a combustion chamber and react in roughly two stages.
- the first stage includes regions with air/fuel-ratios near stoichiometric wherein high temperatures occur that induce initializing chemical reaction with fuels. Such temperature result in high concentrations of nitrogen oxide NO ⁇ .
- the second stage operates air rich to achieve final overall air/fuel ratio. Its temperature is lower but often not sufficiently low that NO x cannot form, and this stage generally does not remove NO x formed in the first stage. The overall result is that NO x formed in both stages appears in the burner exhaust.
- the technology of the co-pending patents results in products that are easily combusted with further air.
- a combustor with excess air for powering engines or for heating boilers, etc. which produces virtually zero NO ⁇ can be achieved by a related two stage process.
- the first stage comprises a fuel-rich burner of the type taught in the co-pending patents.
- the second stage uses similar technology but operates air rich. Products from the first stage and the excess air needed to attain the final air-fuel mixture are introduced into the second stage. In this stage, a mixture of the latter air and latter products undergo the same rapid flow reversals taught by the technology of the co-pending patents, which results in their rapid chemical equilibration.
- the present invention provides a novel burner having at least one combustion chamber in which fuel and air are introduced via feed tubes whereas the conducted air and fuel are forced into impingement with a barrier in a thimble which not only induces the fuel and air into a mixture but reverses flow so that the mixture forms a lamina flow by folding over upon itself about the feed tubes and by means of direction reversal in the combustion chamber.
- Ignition means are provided for combusting the thoroughly mixed air and fuel and the exhaust is directed through an exhaust nozzle which may include means to inject water into the effluent.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an underoxidized burner which produces maximum hydrogen from fuels and reduces carbon which forms a 6/09358 PO7US95/06957
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an underoxidized burner employing novel injectors for effecting very fast premixing of feed, air or oxygen and fuel by bringing the fuel and oxygen together immediately prior to injection into a combustion chamber where the mixture is then ignited and burned. Such a mixing process occurs rapidly so that pre-reaction in the injector does not have time to occur.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide novel injectors for an underoxidized burner wherein the fuel contains a very high temperature mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen which is produced by the underoxidized burner of a first stage and which normally would spontaneously and rapidly react with air or oxygen. If permitted, such pre-reaction can be destructive and result in unintended products.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an underoxidized burner for producing maximum hydrogen from fuels which can be increased by adding water preferably at the burner exit stage.
- a further object resides in providing an underoxidized burner using liquid fuels resembling diesel oil or other liquid fuels.
- FIGURE 1 is a diagrammatic longitudinal cross- sectional view of a two-stage underoxidized burner employing the novel injector incorporating the present invention
- FIGURE 2 is a view similar to the view of FIGURE 1 incorporating a single-stage underoxidized burner having a novel injector and further including water injection at the burner exit;
- FIGURES 3, 4 and 5 illustrate versions of the novel injector useful in the underoxidized burners shown in FIGURES 1 and 2;
- FIGURE 6 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of an underoxidized burner suitable for handling fuels such as diesel;
- FIGURE 7 is a view similar to the view of FIGURE 2 with the inclusion of water addition;
- FIGURES 8 and 9 are charts pertaining to the addition of water to an underoxidized burner in order to increase hydrogen output.
- FIGURES 10 and 11 are charts relating to the addition of water to an underoxidized burner to increase hydrogen output with reduction of carbon formation.
- the novel two-stage underoxidized burner of the present invention is illustrated in the general direction of arrow 10 which is provided with a novel injector represented by numeral 11.
- the burner includes a first stage 12 and a second stage 13.
- a conduit 14 is a down stream section of the underoxidized burner 12 which is located so that its hot effluent passes through the tube or conduit 14 and eventually into the second stage or secondary burner 13.
- the conduit or pipe 14 enters a combustion chamber 15 within the second stage burner 13 and the pipe or tube 14 ends in fixed spaced-apart relationship with respect to the flat surface of the interior of a thimble 16.
- the flat surface is identified by numeral 17 and it can be seen from the arrows that the effluent through tube 14 enters into the space between the end of the tube and the opposing surface 17 so that impingement occurs and redirection 180 degrees for exit through the opening of the thimble.
- the thimble 16 is cup-like and the tube 14 is inside an air- conducting tube 18 in coaxial spaced-apart relationship. Air flow sufficient to provide a desired overall stoichiometric air fuel ratio including the fuel and air of the underoxidized burner, passes via pipe 20 into an annulus 21 defined between the opposing surfaces of the coaxially disposed tubes 14 and 18.
- the lower end of the annulus 21 is sealed to the insulated end 22 and the top of the annulus is open within the space of thimble 17. Gasses from the inlet or feed pipe 14 and air from the feed pipe 18 meet and mix within the thimble 17, as illustrated by the air flow arrows. The air and fuel mixture then undergoes two 90 degree turns which result in a thorough mixing, before exiting as a gas cylinder that moves rearwardly along the outside of tube 18. Such a mixture cylinder represents a lamina flow which is folded over and then reversed within the combustion chamber 15 where it is ignited by a sparkplug or similar ignitor, as indicated by numeral 23.
- the gas-like cylinder On moving through the combustion chamber, the gas-like cylinder inducts gasses from the burner 15 which results in recirculation. The gasses then impinge against wall 22 and eventually at the other burning wall that results in two further 90 degree turns which promote additional mixing. The gasses move axially upwardly towards and through the combustion chamber and encounter a barrier ring 24, fabricated of an insulating material. This causes the gasses to move towards tube 18 which aids the induction-recirculation action. Finally, the hot gas products pass through the remainder of the burner and exit at orifice nozzle 25. Tests have shown that almost double combustion efficiency is achieved with the separate flows, as well as very low NO x and CO emissions.
- FIGURE 2 another version of the present invention is illustrated showing an injector for effecting very fast pre-mixing of the fuel and air feed used in the underoxidized burner.
- the burner is illustrated by numeral 30 and includes a single stage with the combustion chamber identified by numeral 31. Air and fuel are brought together via tubes 32 and 19 respectively prior to injecting into the combustion chamber 31 where the fees are then ignited and burned. The mixing process occurs very rapidly so that pre-reaction in the injector, broadly indicated by numeral 33, does not have time to occur.
- the injector is particularly used when the fuel contains a very hot mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, such as produced by the effluent of the underoxidized burner as a first stage, as described in FIGURE 1, which normally would spontaneously and rapidly react with air. Such pre-reaction can be destructive and result in unintended products.
- the burner 30 is enclosed by insulation 34 within a metal enclosure 35.
- the fuel encounters a barrier 38 against which the fuel impinges so that the fuel is moved outwardly in a radial manner to the cylindrical sidewall interior of the thimble 37 wherein the sidewall is represented by numeral 39.
- the fuel/air combination undergoes a 90 degree directional change causing initial mixing.
- aerodynamic and momentum effects cause the mixture to squeeze together into a thin sheet-like vapor that, in effect, further induces mixing.
- the mixture leads the thimble through its opening and the mixture caused by aerodynamic forces plus the Coanda effect attaches itself as a compressed relatively thin lamina to the outside of the air input tube 32. This results in further mixing while also protecting tube 32 from very hot combustion temperatures.
- the downward moving lamina eventually encounters bottom or end insulation surface, identified by numeral 40, where the lamina is turned 90 degrees and then moves to inside sidewall 41 where a further directional change is induced. Both changes aid mixing of the fuel and air.
- the mixture is ignited by a sparkplug 42.
- the burning gasses move upwardly towards the opposite end of the combustion chamber and generally fills the bottom portion of the burner.
- a portion of hot gasses within the combustion chamber is inducted into the downward lamina from thimble 37 causing recirculation that aids combustion.
- Such induction is increased by ceramic ring 36 which directs the exiting hot gasses to tube 32.
- the burned products or effluent leave via nozzle 43. After ignition, the spark is not needed and is shut off.
- the mixture flow is indicated by the arrows as well as air and fuel flow exiting via the open ends of the respective tubes 19 and 33.
- the input feed tubes 32 and 33 are coaxially disposed with respect to one another, as shown in FIGURE 1; however, the feed tubes in FIGURE 2 are coextensive with one another, having the thimble 37 carried on the end of fuel feed tube 33.
- the thimble 16 of the injector can readily be carried on the tube 18 via spokes or in any other conventional manner, as previously disclose in co-pending applications.
- FIGURES 3, 4 and 5 different arrangements of thimble location and air/fuel introduction to the thimble is disclosed.
- the thimble 43 is arranged so that its opposing face is directly opposite the open ends of air feed tube 46 and fuel feed tube 47.
- the mixture of the fuel/air feeds is as described with respect to injector 33 shown in FIGURE 2, with the exception that the barrier 38 is not used.
- the embodiment shown in FIGURE 3 may be used in the second stage of the double stage underoxidized burner shown in FIGURE 1.
- another version of injector is employed whereby the thimble 48 accepts the open ends of the fuel feed tube 49 and the air feed tube 50, as previously described.
- FIGURE 5 Still another version of injector is illustrated in FIGURE 5 in which the thimble has been reversed so that its base of plate 53 has an external surface against which the air and fuel feed is impinged.
- the air feed tube 54 and the fuel feed tube 55 are coaxially disposed with respect to one another in fixed spaced-apart relationship so that the air feed will be conducted along the external surface of the fuel tube 51.
- the discharge of both air and fuel is through the open ends simultaneously for impingement against the external surface of plate 53.
- the mixed flow will pass around the external sidewall of the thimble into the combustion chamber to form the lamina flow, as previously described.
- FIGURES 3, 4 and 5 may be used in the burner shown in FIGURE 2 whereby fuel may enter from the bottom instead of from the top which more readily simplifies system construction.
- air and fuel enter upwardly via the feed tubes 46 and 47, respectively.
- the air and fuel feeds reach the inside of thimble 45 and the two feed flows impinge on the interior of the thimble and are forced sideways, resulting in conditions which resemble those shown in FIGURE 2.
- FIGURE 4 only the fuel tube portion of the injector is provided with discharge orifices or passageways 51.
- the fuel leaves tube 49 via the orifices that are provided near the closed top end of the tube.
- the fuel then enters the air flowing from feed tube 46, as described previously.
- This type of injector is best used when fuel, such as methane, is not extraordinarily reactive with air.
- a variation of the injector is disclosed.
- air from tube 54 and fuel from tube 55 impinge on the outside of the thimble 52 by impinging against the surface of bottom plate 53.
- the Coanda effect causes the two feed streams to attach to the outside cylindrical portion of the thimble as a thin lamina, inducing a squeezing effect that causes mixing.
- Aerodynamic effects on the material leaving the thimble cause the stream to move inward onto itself to form a downwardly moving stream of relatively small diameter, causing further mixing.
- the injectors disclosed may include the pre ⁇ heat means for pre-heating the feed to the high temperature required to effect the underoxidized reaction, as described in previous patent applications.
- the co-pending application includes several methods which may be used to pre-heat the air/fuel feeds in order to salvage energy.
- an additional pre-heating means is shown in FIGURE 6 which may be used with any of the injectors disclosed herein.
- FIGURE 6 an underoxidized burner employing the novel injector with pre-heating means is illustrated in the general direction of arrow 60.
- the burner induces a combustion chamber 61 which is enclosed by insulation 62 within a metal wall 63.
- This wall is enclosed in spaced-apart relationship by a metal wall 64 which defines a space 65 between the opposing surfaces of the spaced-apart metal walls 63 and 64.
- Feed air is introduced into annular space 65 via feed tube 66 and the air moves downwardly.
- the air enters an injector, illustrated in the general direction of arrow 67, of the type shown in FIGURE 3. Fuel is introduced to the air at the injector 67 via feed tube 68.
- Both the fuel and air feeds are mixed within the thimble of the injector, as previously described.
- energy is reclaimed which is normally lost through insulation.
- This construction also decreases loss of energy through the insulation because the temperature of the outer metal wall 64 is reduced from about 2900 degrees Fahrenheit in the burner to that of the 78 degrees Fahrenheit to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit of the feed air.
- injectors disclosed herein maintain the fuel and air feeds separate prior to rapid mixing which permits the fuel to be heated separately, or not at all. This advantage permits usage of relatively heat sensitive fuels.
- diesel oil tends to decompose to components including carbon, which are difficult to burn, if heated too much above its boiling point of about 650 degrees Fahrenheit.
- the liquid fuel is introduced from the lower or bottom end of the burner via a small tube that exits very close to the inside bottom of the thimble as shown. Feed air enters the larger tube surrounding the fuel tube, and the high temperature of the air results in heat exchange to the liquid fuel which raises the temperature of the fuel depending upon the particular fuel used.
- the exiting fuel impinges onto the thimble, causing the liquid to move axially outwardly and then down the side of the thimble.
- aerodynamic forces direct it to the outside of the standpipe wall of the injector. Air from the outer annulus will also be caused by the thimble to move down the injector wall.
- a purpose of the underoxidized burner is to produce maximum hydrogen, H 2 , from fuels. This can be increased by adding water, a next discussed with regard to FIGURES 2 , 7-11 inclusive.
- the latter is favored by low temperature and high H 2 0 concentration.
- Catalysts are normally used, and the catalytic shift reaction 29 shown in FIG. 2, downstream of the underoxidized burner is a part of the technology of this disclosure. Because the underoxidized burner's thermal output is relatively high, its combustion temperature remains high even when considerable water is added. This is indicated in FIGURE 8 for the reaction, CH 4 + .5x2(02+3.76N 2 ) + n H 2 0(g) for n from 0 to 1, with all reactants, including water, heated to 1000°F by exchange from the combustion gases. The combustion temperature drops from slightly above 3000°F to slightly below 2800°F—the latter is still ample to bring about equilibration in an underoxidized burner. Thus, a part of the water for the shift reactor can be added directly into the underoxidized burner along with the air and fuel.
- FIGURE 9 has data with all feed, including liquid water, entering at 78°F for the highest water content of FIGURE 8 of 1 mole. These conditions relate closely to those at the underoxidized burner exit. Equilibrium for the reaction is at about 1820°F, where 1.6 moles of hydrogen per mole of methane is produced. This is much more than at the high temperature underoxidized burner reaction, amounting to 80% of the hydrogen in the methane fuel.
- the FIGURE also shows chemical equilibrium conditions at lower temperatures, as caused by heat exchange to the environment.
- the hydrogen output continues to increase to its maximum as the temperature decreases by heat exchange to an environment of 400°F.
- FIGURE 10 which resembles FIGURE 8, for the formulation CH 4 + (02 + 3.76N 2 ) + n H 2 0, which represents reaction with 50% stoichiometric air and with up to two moles further water added.
- the two top curves are combustion temperatures.
- the lower is for feed introduced at 78°F, where temperatures produced are from about 2300°F with no water and 1400° with two moles water. These are too low to guarantee equilibration.
- the upper curve is for feed at 1000°F, using the preheat methods which are subjects of previous patents. Here, temperatures are 3000°F to 2550°F with two moles water. These are sufficient to bring about the desired equilibration.
- H 2 increases from 1.2 to 1.4 moles with increasing water, while H 2 + CO is more or less constant at about 2 moles. The latter represent ideal results after the shift reaction. Note that the significant temperature for the shift reaction is that at the exit of the UOB and not the higher combustion temperature.
- FIGURE 11 has moles of H 2 and C at exhaust temperatures between 400°F and 1100°F with 0 to 2 moles added water.
- the bottom curves show C to decrease virtually to nil with water. Below about 600 to 900°F experience suggests the rate of C formation from dissociation of CO is very small, so less C than indicated by equilibration will form. In any event, at 2 moles water and 900°F, C is virtually not present.
- FIGURE 11 The upper curves of FIGURE 11 are hydrogen output. These approach the theoretical 2 moles of FIGURE 10 at the higher water content. Note, this is accomplished without catalysts.
- FIGURE 10 Theoretical temperatures for the underoxidized burner are given in FIGURE 10 for feed temperatures of 78°F. These exceed those of FIGURE 11.
- the theoretical exhaust temperature is 1400°F
- FIGURE 11 suggests need to decrease to 900°F.
- about half the needed decrease normally occurs from burner heat loss to the environment.
- water can now be added to the downstream exhaust. Doing so, will both lower the temperature and tend to increase H 2 to the theoretical 2 moles.
- Injector-mixers of the types previously described can effect mixing of water (or steam) with the effluent from an underoxidized burner so rapidly that the mixture of the two will pass through the temperature regime where carbon forms. It then moves into the regime where the shift reaction occurs with an intimate mixture that assures combustion.
- one of the tubes that impinge onto the thimble would carry the effluent from the underoxidized burner and the other would carry water or steam.
- the very fact mixing that subsequently occurs lowers temperature to the lower temperature condition for the shift reaction.
- the overall system would resemble that shown for the two stage No-NO ⁇ reactor in FIGURE 1, except that excess air in the latter is replaced by steam or water.
- liquid water is added in this fashion, it will largely flash to steam in the injector. If steam is added, it may be preformed from liquid water by heat exchange with the combustion gases before entering the mixing injector, in the same manner used to preheat air or air/fuel mixtures.
- FIGURE 7 injects the liquid water backward into the effluent of the underoxidized burner.
- the water into a tubular or cone-like sheet.
- This can be done by a coned member 70 placed in the water stream exiting a tube 72 so that the water tends to form a sheet—much in the manner as when the hollow opening of a spoon inserted into water flowing from a faucet.
- the resulting flowing lamina provides an excellent heat exchange surface for vaporizing the water, results in a more forceful movement back into the chamber then provided by droplets, and better covers the effluent from the burner.
- the products of the first (underoxidized) combustor pass into the annulus of the injector leading to the second (overoxidized) burner, and air passes into the tube 14 in the center of the injector.
- the added air increases the overall air flow rate so the air/fuel ratio stoichiometric ratio of the two burners together is in the normal range, which is greater than unity.
- the water is normally supplied as liquid from a pump or pressurized container 73. If steam is to be formed from the water, this can be accomplished by a small tubular heat exchanger 71 in the secondary burner 15. The steam so produced is introduced into the annulus or tube leading to the injector.
- electrolyzed water may be used to produce hydrogen. More product and less costly hydrogen may be produced by using the oxygen product, formed in such water electrolysis, as oxidizer in the place of air to a methane or other hydrocarbon fuel underoxidized burner. Oxygen results in higher H 2 percent from the underoxidized burner primarily because the effluent does not contain N 2 as diluent.
- an improved underoxidized burner having single or multiple stages of internal combustion utilizing gaseous fuels or liquid fuel for mixture with air and/or electrolyzed water as an oxygen product which is combusted by spark ignition.
- the air, oxygen product or, in some instance, effluent from previous stages is introduced to a combustion chamber via novel injectors simultaneously with selected fuels.
- Water may be employed, especially when mixed with effluent gases to produce maximum H 2 from the fuels.
