Definitions
- the invention is in the fields of combustion and gas turbines, and especially gas turbine designs for dry low emissions, and more particularly concerns apparatus and methods for premixing fuel and air to achieve ultra low combustion emissions.
- a premixer can be useful in enhancing flame stability in an energy release/conversion system, such as a combustor for powering a gas turbine engine or generator.
- an energy release/conversion system such as a combustor for powering a gas turbine engine or generator.
- this disclosure uses the term "combustor” throughout, but it should be understood that the disclosure relates more generally to energy release/- conversion systems that can be operated as either a combustor or a fuel reformer, depending on operating conditions, as well as dedicated combustor and reformer apparatus. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the terms “combustor”, “reformer” and “energy release/conversion system” should be regarded as completely interchangeable.
- Premixers currently employed in the art include "hub and spoke” configured units, such as those employed by General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, Siemens, etc., placed at the inlet of a combustor, with fuel supplied through the hub and injected out of radial spokes and/o integrated into swirler vanes.
- the spokes of these premixers have a plurality of uniform sized axial holes transverse to the combus- tor inlet.
- the design of these premixers tends to optimize them for a particular fuel-air momentum flux ratio. Accordingly, these premixers work best in a narrow power band, and do not provide the most uniform fuel -air mixture over the entire engine operating envelope.
- a cavity is provided in the combustion area, for example, between bluff bodies or in the wall of the combustor, in which vortices and/or other turbulence will form, in order to stabilize com bustion with lean mixtures.
- a cavity is provided in the combustion area, for example, between bluff bodies or in the wall of the combustor, in which vortices and/or other turbulence will form, in order to stabilize com bustion with lean mixtures.
- Fuel and/or air may be injected into a trapped vortex cavity through discrete injectors, to induce greater mixing in this area and further promote flame stability.
- the discrete fuel and air injectors may be situated, for example, on the forward and aft walls of a trapped vortex area defined by the walls of the combustion cavity. See, e.g., Burrus, U.S. Pat. No. 5,791,148.
- Haynes, et al. GE Global Research, "Advanced Combustion Systems for Next Generation Gas Turbines, Final Report", January 2006 (DE-FC26-01NT41020) , describes a combustor similar in layout to the combustor described by Burrus.
- fuel and air may be premixed and introduced thr the inlet cone and/or through the forward or aft walls of the combustion cavity. Embodiments in which premixture was introduced both into the inlet cone and the combustion cavity resulted in the creation of a stacked double vortex, with highly turbulent mixing.
- the second vortex in the "dual vortex" show is created by the injection of premixture into the TVC cavity, and would not otherwise exist.
- the main vortex shown might otherwise exist, but is substantially modified by the impact of the added premixture, for example, by being moved translationally from its natural position in the cavity, made much more turbulent, or otherwise substantially distorted.
- Desired attributes of such premixer apparatus include:
- the premixer should provide uniform fuel distribution over the cross sectional area of the combustor inlet.
- the premixer should provide a uniform fuel -air mixture over a broad range of engine operating conditions. • The premixer should provide a short premixing length.
- the premixer should be compatible with a broad range of fuels, including all gaseous and liquid fuels used in gas turbines.
- the premixer should provide low emissions generation.
- the premixer should be adaptable to assist in stabilizing combustion in the trapped vortex cavity of a TVC, consistent with the flow patterns for which the TVC was designed, including low-turbulence patterns, where those are employed .
- these objectives may be achieved by providing an inlet premixer assembly comprising a hub, a plurality of radial spokes, and a plurality of concentric, aerodynamic injector rings attached to the spokes, with a plurality of radially-directed injection holes.
- the injection holes are provided with a plurality of different diameters, facilitating good mixing over a broad power range. Due to configuration and hole sizes, the assembly is gas and liquid compatible.
- the radial, concentric injection formation allows for a short injection path, due to the greater number of fuel injection sites over the cross-sectional area.
- a further premixer embodiment may be provided that injects premixed fuel and air directly into the trapped vortex cavity in a manner compatible with the flow patterns in the cavity for which the system was designed.
- this premixer can be arranged so that the premixed fuel and air joins the vortex flow tangentially in a smooth, continuous manner and/or to reinforce combustion in the toroid.
- premixture may be introduced at one or more TVC locations in one or more directions consistent with local vortex flow in the area of introduction.
- alternative combustion cavity layouts are provided for practicing fuel staging in a trapped vortex (TVC) combustion apparatus comprising an inlet premixer, for injecting fuel- air mixture into the inlet of the combustion apparatus and one or more vortex premixers, for injecting fuel-air mixture into the recirculating vortex within each of one or more trapped vortex cavities.
- a plurality of premixer-fed TVC cavities may, for example, be laid out axially, radially, peripherally, internally, or in combinations of such arrangements.
- Combustion apparatus and methods in accordance with the invention may be used in all gas turbine applications, including without limitation land-based power generation, commercial jet aircraft engines, auxiliary power units (APUs) for aircraft, in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plants, and in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) or cogeneration plants.
- APUs auxiliary power units

- Figures 7A-7D show a variety of combustor layouts incorporating a plurality of TVC cavities may be used in conjunction with individually controllable inlet and vortex premixers.
- the present disclosure is applicable to any gas turbine combustor or reaction chamber. Certain aspects of this disclosure are relevant to any energy release/conversion system having an inlet for gaseous or gas-borne liquid fuel and oxidant (air). Other aspects are relevant insofar as the energy release/conversion system has TVC features, as will be addressed.
- TVC trapped vortex combustor
- a trapped vortex cavity may have contain one vortex flows, double vortex flows, or a plurality of vortex flows.
- the trapped vortex cavity may have continuously curved walls, or it may have rectilinear or other shaped walls, or be formed between bluff bodies, or a combination of walls and bluff bodies.
- a combustor or reaction chamber may also have a plurality of trapped vortex cavities. Examples of TVC embodiments in accordance with Roquemore, et al., Burrus, Haynes et al. and Steele et al.
- An energy release/conversion system is typically fed combustion air in a compressed state, from a compressor.
- Premixed fuel and air under the relatively high pressures and temperatures that characterize compressor outputs tend to be highly explosive.
- premixing in such an environment may be performed in a manner that reduces the residence time of the premixed mixture prior to introduction into the combustion chamber.
- the premixing apparatus should preferably be as close as practicable to the combustor inlet (short premixing length), while at the same time providing for adequate residence time for the desired level of premixing (achievable in part by having small premixing scales) . Accordingly, configurations for achieving fast and uniform premixing are preferred.
- a premixer preferably should be compatible with the remainder of the system design.
- the premixer should not rely on or introduce large-scale turbulence inconsistent with the overall system design.
- the premixer should introduce mixture in a manner consistent with the desired cavity flow field.
- Figure 1 is a perspective cross-sectional view from the inlet side to the exit side of a combustor incorporating examples of these two different premixer devices, 21 and 31, in accordance with certain embodiments of the invention.
- the combustor of Figure 1 while axis -symmetric in internal configuration, is a "can" design (sometimes referred to as “can-annular”, but to be distinguished from “full annular” designs), such that a plurality of such "cans”, each as partially shown in Figure 1, can be arranged in a circular configuration, with their outlet commonly directed around a large turbine.
- the can combustor in the embodiment shown in Figure 1 has an inlet 6, an exit 5, and a recirculation zone 7, with a take-off point 14.
- recirculation zone 7 forms a toroidal structure around the axis of main flow from inlet 6 to exit 5, within which a vortex 22 will recirculate during combustor operation, with a portion of the combustion gasses being taken off at point 14 and recirculated along and within curved wall 23, around toroid 7 to rejoin inlet 6.
- Compressed combustion air is introduced at compressor inlet 10, upstream of inlet 6.
- Inlet premixer 21 is situated between compressor inlet 10 and combustor inlet 6.
- a generally conical bluff body 3 and 4 is provided between premixer 21 and combustor inlet 6 to provide a nozzle to accelerate premixed mixture exiting premixer 21.
- the bluff body might be a "2D" element instead, extended annularly (as tapered ring) around the entire annular combustor inlet, instead of forming a cone-like structure as shown.
- bluff body 3, 4 terminates against plate 11, which, in three dimensions, forms a circular wall in the center of the inlet area 6; bluff body 3, 4 is supported by radial spokes 17, circumferentially arranged within inlet area 6; holes 16 are provided in plate 11 for purposes of wall cooling (effusion, impingement effusion, or the like); upstream the com- bustor inlet is pressure port 12; and a mounting point 15 is provided for an igniter (not shown) in the wall
- a second premixer 31 (vortex premixer) is also provided.
- the second premixer injects into recirculation space 7, but differs in its approach from injection of premixed fuel and air as practiced in the prior art.
- premixed fuel and air was introduced into the TVC cavity in a manner calculated either to create one or more additional and entirely new vortices, or to substantially disrupt the flow fields of a naturally existing vortex.
- the injection of premixed fuel and air into the vortex area is is designed to enhance natural vortex flow in the cavity, for example, being introduced into the cavity along an exterior wall, in a direction tangential to and codirectional with the natural recirculation flow in the cavity. Thus, it enhances the vortex flow, without disruption or significant added turbulence.
- vortex premixer 31 comprises a number of fuel injectors each arranged around the periphery of the outer wall of toroid 7, directed tangentially relative to the direction of the combustor exit, near top dead center of toroid 7 and therefore approximately tangential thereto, to inject premix mixture codirection- ally with the natural recirculation flow of fluid in toroid 7. Only one such injector is shown in the sectional view of Figure 1, but it should be understood that the injector structure is replicated by similar injectors side-by-side around the periphery of toroid 7.
- FIGS 2A, 2B and 3 show further detail on inlet premixer 21.
- fuel which can be gaseous or liquid fuel
- fuel inlet 13 is introduced at fuel inlet 13 into central hub 1 and issues via the four radial spokes 19, etc. into the four concentric rings 2A, 2B, etc. mounted on the fuel spokes.
- Fuel is injected at an angle in the range from 0-90 degrees from the axial direction (either positive or negative (i.e., either away from or toward the axis, depending on the specific ring pairing)), but in any case so that the absolute value of the angle is in the range of from 0-90 degrees, and more preferably 30-90 degrees from the axial direction) into the annular passages formed between adjacent rings 2A, 2B, etc., into the high-velocity air from the compressor.
- Concentric rings 2A, 2B, etc. and spoke 19 are aerodynami- cally shaped as shown in Figure 2B.
- the number of rings should be in the range from 2 to about 5, and should preferably provide less than 50% or more preferably less than 40% flow blockage.
- Fuel orifices (holes) 201, 202, etc. in rings 2A, 2B, etc. are selected to provide adequate fuel penetration into the incoming air so as to provide the most thoroughly mixed (minimal unmixedness levels) mixture over the engine's operating envelope. Hence, they will be of different sizes/- diameters, to target various points on the load curve.
- fuel can be fed to the spokes from the outside diameter 212 of the ring structure, rather than the hub 211.
- holes 201 and 202 are directed to inject fuel in a predominantly radial direction, into the cross-flowing compressor air.
- the holes are directed at approximately ⁇ 70 degrees relative to the axial direction.
- this angle is not critical. In general, the range of angles can be from about ⁇ 0 degrees to about ⁇ 90 degrees; is preferably between about ⁇ 60 and about ⁇ 90 degrees; and more preferably about ⁇ 90 degrees.
- the holes sizes are non-uniform, with different size holes provided for better performance in different power ranges, i.e., different fuel -air momentum flux ratio levels.
- the various hole sizes can be determined either through cold flow mixing experiments, CFD or empirical correlations, or any combination thereof.
- the total number of holes may be greater than the corresponding number in a conventional premixer.
- hole sizes are selected to provide a plurality of holes in three different sizes, adapted to give the best mixtures in low, middle and high power bands, respectively.
- the small holes may be sized for optimal low power operation (0-30% engine load) ; the medium holes for optimal medium power operation (0-70% engine load) ; and the large holes for optimal high power operation (70-100% engine load), and used in combination to provide the most uniform mixing over the entire power range.
- each hole is paired with a hole of a different size, on two adjacent rings, across the annular passage defined by the two rings.
- Each of the aforementioned hole diameters may be circumferentially distributed approximately evenly to assure the most uniform mixture within the cross-sectional area of the premixture inlet.
- FIG. 3 An exemplary hole layout is shown in Figure 3.
- Angles ⁇ and ⁇ are radial angular hole offsets.
- the following table shows, as one possible example, the hole layout for one quadrant, for the eight rows of holes in the illustrated embodiment : Row # Angle ⁇ (First Hole) Angle ⁇ 2 (Spacing) # Holes
- Prior art fuel-air mixers also include some hub-and-spoke designs as previously discussed. However, they do not inject fuel from concentric rings or provide a plurality of different injection hole sizes, and they do not exhibit and/or achieve the same degree of mixing uniformity at any given engine load point. The prior art pre- mixing strategy will not achieve the lower emissions performance of the present invention.
- the inlet premixer described above achieves flat mixedness profiles and ultra Low combustion exhaust levels for NOX, CO, UHC, etc. due to the higher level of mixedness levels achieved by (a) nonuniform hole sizes, (b) a multitude of holes, and (c) smaller/shorter mixing scales. This provides better mixing uniformity overall and over a greater engine operating envelope.
- the approach described here can be tailored to any engine fuel scheduling (i.e., how the fuel is metered over the engine's operating envelope: fuel vs. engine load), and is gas or liquid fuel compatible.
- vortex premixer 31 in Figures 1 and 4
- fuel and air are premixed prior to injection into the toroid/cavity flow.
- the injectors provide small mixing scales, a plurality of injection sites, and short required premixing length.
- Fuel and air are premixed, or partially premixed prior to injection into the toroid.
- the secondary injection of the premix assists with general stability of the toroid/cavity flow.
- the natural flow in toroid 7, that is the flow that would exist without premixture injection, for example as a result of fluid flow through the main flow path of the combustor (from inlet 6 to exit 5), would be a single vortex 22 circulating from a takeoff point 14 proximate the exit, along the curvilinear wall of the recirculation space of toroid 7, and back to a point proximate the inlet 6 of the combustor.
- vortex cavity 7, though accommodating a single vortex, is relatively large, lengthening the residence time for combustion within the cavity.
- premixer 31 injects premixed fuel and air directly into the recirculation zone (trapped vortex cavity) 7 tangentially to wall 23, and thus aligned with the natural vortex flow 22 in the cavity, to introduce the premixture with a minimum of disruption to the natural flow pattern of vortex 22 and without substantial added turbulence.
- vortex premixer 31 in one embodiment, has a separate fuel manifold 99 fed by tubular fuel inlet 39, in close proximity to the air entry ports 8, which issues fuel into the incoming air flow through port 8 prior to injection within the cavity.
- fuel manifold 99 encircles toroid 7, but there is only a single fuel inlet 39 (although the inlet could be replicated in other radial positions).
- fuel manifold 99 is divided by circular diffusion (DP) plate 38 having holes 42 etc. for metering fuel into submanifold 43, to reduce circumferential non-uniformities in fuel pressure in a single feed tube arrangement.
- DP circular diffusion
- Fuel flowing from submanifold 43 enters the incoming air flow (from 8), through fuel orifices (holes) 100, etc., mixes with the incoming air, and enters the toroid 7 through hole 24.
- the manner of premixing is not critical but in the current embodiment will be a simple jet in cross flow.
- the application can be any fluid fuel type - liquid, gas, low BTU, Hydrogen enriched ("synthetic") gas, etc.
- recirculation vortex flow is from exit 5 to inlet 6, and incoming pre- mixture is directed into toroid 7 in a manner designed to result in smooth entry, approximately tangential to and in about the same direction as, the recirculation vortex flow, with low turbulence.
- the premix charge that is issued into the toroid through vortex premixer 31 both strengthens/reinforces the toroidal flow and also provides a high combustion intensity pool of radicals to further stabilize the main flow.
- Premixer 31 can be located anywhere around the periphery of toroid 7, but, when recirculation is a single vortex moving in the direction from exit to inlet, is preferably in the quadrant shown in Figure 4, and more preferably with the inlet close to point A in that Figure (i.e., closer to take off point 14) for a longer residence time.
- the air entry ports 8 could also be adapted from the can configuration shown, to an annular configuration.
- the arrangement of ports in an annular configuration would be topologically similar to that shown in Figure 4, dimensioned to fit around the periphery of an annular combustor.
- An annular combustor may also be attached to a gas turbine for large-scale power generation.
- an annular adaptation of the invention can be applied, for example, to a main propulsion jet engine application for aviation (including tur- bofans, turbojets, ramjets, etc.), or to a smaller gas turbine/electric generator for use as an APU.
- Other applications include combustion turbines in an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant, and in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) or cogeneration plants.
- IGCC Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle
- CHP Combined Heat and Power
- the vortex mixer described herein is not limited to TVC designs with curvilinear walls as shown in Figures 1 and 4.
- a vortex premixer may be used with a TVC cavity having rectangular walls 534 etc.
- TVC cavity 532 within com- bustor 501 as shown in Figure 5 has a surrounding wall contour that is approximately rectangular on three sides.
- TVC cavity 531 is essentially a mirror image of TVC cavity 532 and set up similarly) .
- TVC cavity 532 is shaped and dimensioned such that a single vortex approximately indicated by arrow 533 will be established therein by main flow 534 through combustor 501.
- Premixed fuel and air may be introduced in a manner that enhances the natural vortex flow in the TVC cavity, for example at one or both of at one or both locations corresponding to arrows 510 and 509.
- the premixture injection is approximately tangential to vortex 533 and enters substantially along wall 534 adjacent to vortex 533.
- injection is again approximately tangential to vortex 533, and also substantially aligned with the direction in which incoming flow 535 joins the flow of vortex 533.
- a TVC design as shown in Figure 5 may be used in a three-dimensiona rectangular structure (i.e., extending above and below the page of
- Figure 5 of which Figure 5 would represent a cross-section.
- the TVC design with such cavities may "wrap around" three- dimensionally in an annulus, to form an annular combustion chamber, with "upper” and “lower” toroidal vortex cavities having rectilinear walls, again with a cross-section corresponding to to the upper and lower cavity areas 531 and 532 depicted in Figure 5.
- the rectangular design could be used as a can combustor, and the annular design as an annular combustor, and respectively deployed in applications similar to those described with respect to the embodiment of
- premixers 21 and 31 can function independently, a combination of the two premixers, 21 and 31,
- inlet and direct-vortex injec- tors of other types can be used in a fuel staging strategy in any TVC application.
- fuel staging entails injecting fuel at multiple and discrete locations in the combustor to maintain flame temperatures in narrow bands, so that N0X/C0/UHC emissions are below target rates.
- fuel is initially injected solely through holes 100 of vortex premixer 31 until flame temperatures ( ⁇ ) reach their NOX limit. See Figures 6A and 6D.
- Figure 6B In a mid-power band ( Figure 6B), operation is switched so that fueling is primarily through inlet premixer 21.
- Figure 6C fuel is injected both through inlet premixer 21 and vortex premixer 31. Fueling discrete zones in this manner permits "walking' up the power curve while maintaining NOX and CO within prescribed limits, as required in view of flame temperature requirements. See Figure 6E.
- the combustor can be designed with a plurality of TVC cavities, each with separate premixer inlets. Injection into the respective TVC cavities can be varied relative to each other and relative to inlet premixing, to provide finer control, and also to improve temperature uniformity during turndown by allowing incremental changes in fueling through a sequence of cavities, rather than relying on larger fueling changes in a single cavity.
- vortex premixer 31 is not completely turned off during operation. Rather, it is preferable to phase the proportions of fuel- ing from one premixer to the next, while always keeping vortex premixer 31 at least minimally turned on.
- Other embodiments may involve a plurality of TVC cavities.
- an embodiment as shown in Figure 7A comprises two TVC cavities positioned axially, upstream TVC cavity 702 and downstream TVC cavity 703 , with corresponding premixer inlets 742 and 743 , as well as inlet premixer 791.
- a plurality of premixer-fed TVC cavities may include TVC cavities that are radially positioned with respect to each other.
- One example of such an arrangement is shown in Figure 7B , showing radially arranged cavities 712 and 713 , and corresponding premixer inlets 752 and 753 , as well as inlet premixer 792 .
- Each TVC cavity in multi-cavity arrangments may have its own vortex premixer inlet as shown (or alternatively, discrete fuel and/or air inlets), which can be fueled independently of the other cavities and/or the main inlet.
- vortex premixer inlet as shown (or alternatively, discrete fuel and/or air inlets), which can be fueled independently of the other cavities and/or the main inlet.
- Such arrangements provide a greater number of fuel-air zones and accordingly can provide better turndown performance by spreading fueling changes across a greater number of combustion areas.
- the TVC cavities may be situated solely in the inside of the combustor, as shown in Figures 7C and 7D .
- Such cavities may, for example, be curvilinear and axially staged, such as cavities 722 and 723 in Figure 7C , and corresponding premixer inlets 762 and 763 (as well as inlet premixer 793 ) , rectilinear and axially staged, such as cavities 732 and 733 in Figure 7D and corresponding premixer inlets 772 and 773 (as well as inlet premixer 794) , or other combinations of cavity shapes, locations and arrangement.
- the most upstream cavity (at a minimum), e.g., cavity 702 in Figure 7A would be continuously fueled during operation, albeit at a variable level.
- the largest cavity on a radius (at a minimum), e.g., cavity 712 in Figure 7B would be continuously fueled during operation, again, at a variable level.
- the combination of an inlet premixer and one or more vortex premixers, which may be independently fueled, provides better optimization than previously available for ultra low emissions performance.
- Each of the premixers preferably provide for reduced mixing length and/or scales, result in a wider range of mixedness uniformity over the engine operating envelope, and therefore superior emissions performance, are multi fuel compatible (gas or liquid), can be tailored to any engine fuel scheduling and indeed are optimal for fuel staging applications.
- one fuel staging strategy for turning up and turning down the combustor might involve fueling through the first toroid premixer inlet 742 from 0-33% power, backing off premixer 742 and fueling primarily through main inlet premixer 791 over the range of 33- 66% power, and then using substantial flow though all three of premixers 791, 742 and 743 for the range of 66-100% power. Similar as well as varied strategies may be devised for any of the layouts depicted in Figures 1, 4, 6A-6C, 7A-7D, and other configurations.
- the fuel controls for the respective premixers may be manually actuated; in other embodiments, the controls may be computerized, based on inputs such as power, temperature, NOX or CO concentration, time, etc., or may be computerized with manual overrides.
- the utility of fuel staging as described above extends to all types of gas turbine applications requiring variable power output, including large frame power generation, aviation applications including main propulsion jet engines (including turbofans, turbo- jets, ramjets, etc.) and APUs, as well as to combustion turbines in an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant, and in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) or cogeneration plants.
