Definitions
- the invention relates to a burner with a flow channel for supplying a flow from combustion air or from a combustion air / fuel mixture, a swirl device being provided in the flow channel for imparting a swirl to the flow.
- the invention further relates to the use of a burner and a method for reducing combustion vibrations.
- combustion vibrations When operating a burner in a combustion system, combustion vibrations can form. This is also known under the terms “combustion chamber hum”, “combustion chamber vibrations”, “combustion-induced pressure pulsations”, “vibrating combustion”. The combustion vibrations are based on an interaction of the pro
- a hybrid burner for a gas turbine is known from the EP-0 580 683 B1.
- a hybrid burner has both a diffusion burner and a premix burner.
- the premix burner of the hybrid burner has an annular channel for supplying combustion air or a combustion air / fuel mixture.
- a swirl device for applying a swirl to a flow, which forms the supplied combustion air / fuel mixture or the combustion air in the ring channel.
- This swirl device is also referred to as a swirl grid.
- the diffusion burner of the hybrid burner is arranged coaxially in the ring channel of the premix burner.
- the diffusion burner has a combustion air supply duct designed as an annular duct, in which a fuel supply duct is arranged coaxially.
- the channels of the diffusion burner open into a nozzle.
- the diffusion burner has a pilot burner in its combustion air supply duct, which is only required for the operation of the premix burner.
- a combustion air / fuel mixture is supplied via the ring channel of the premix burner, which mixture forms a flow in the ring channel, and a swirl is applied to the flow with the help of the swirl grille.
- the swirling flow exits the premix burner for combustion.
- the combustion is stabilized with the pilot burner flame.
- combustion air or fuel is fed to a mixture in the region of the nozzles of the diffusion burner via the combustion air and the fuel supply channel of the diffusion burner.
- the combustion air / fuel mixture formed in the mixture emerges from the diffusion burner for combustion.
- the object of the invention is to provide a burner with a lower tendency to form combustion vibrations to indicate use in a combustion system. Another object is to provide a method for reducing combustion vibrations.
- the object directed to a burner is achieved by a burner according to the preamble of claim 1, which has a swirl device with an outflow end, which swirl device is designed such that the swirl is impressed unevenly in the circumferential direction.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that when a burner is operating in the flow channel, a flow of combustion air is formed which is mixed with fuel to form a combustion air / fuel mixture via fuel inlets.
- the fuel is preferably fed into a flow of combustion air that is uniform over the cross section of the flow channel. This has the advantage that the local mixing ratio between combustion air and fuel is essentially uniform over the cross section. With a uniform mixture, the NO x content of the exhaust gas, which arises during the combustion of the combustion air / fuel mixture formed in the mixture, can be influenced.
- a swirl is preferably applied to the flow in the flow channel in order to stabilize the combustion.
- This swirl is usually uniform over the circumference of the flow channel so as not to impair the uniformity of the flow.
- Studies have shown that the more uniform the flow of a combustion air / fuel mixture supplied for combustion with a burner, the greater the likelihood that combustion vibrations can form when the burner is operated in a combustion system.
- the invention is therefore based on the idea of designing a burner in such a way that a flow of a combustion air / fuel mixture formed before the supply to a combustion is so uneven by applying an uneven swirl that the excitation of combustion vibrations during operation of the burner in a combustion system is at least significantly reduced.
- a swirl device arranged in the flow channel, a swirl which is uneven in the circumferential direction is impressed on the flow of the combustion air / fuel mixture.
- the swirl device preferably has a plurality of swirl elements, each swirl element having a deflection surface. Due to the geometry of the flow channel, a main flow direction of the flow of the combustion air / fuel mixture is defined, which can change depending on the burner geometry.
- the deflection surfaces of the swirl elements each have an outflow angle to the main flow direction at the outflow end, which angle is preferably different for at least two directly adjacent swirl elements. It is thereby achieved that the flow exits at least two different angles in the circumferential direction after flowing through the swirl device, so that the imposed swirl is uneven in the circumferential direction.
- each swirl element is designed as a swirl blade.
- a plurality of swirl elements with the same outflow angles preferably form a swirl group, and the swirl device has at least one such swirl group.
- the swirl device is further preferably formed from a plurality of swirl groups, adjacent swirl groups having different outflow angles.
- the swirl device can for example, be formed from six swirl groups, each swirl group each having four swirl elements.
- the flow channel of the burner is preferably designed as an annular channel, the swirl device being arranged in the annular channel.
- the burner can be designed, for example, as a hybrid burner for a gas turbine.
- the burner preferably has a fuel inlet through which fuel can be fed into the flow channel upstream of the outflow end. As a result, the fuel is fed into a uniform flow of combustion air flowing in the supply duct in front of the swirl device.
- the object directed to the use is achieved according to the invention by a use according to claim 10, according to which the burner is used in a gas turbine for the combustion of a combustion air / fuel mixture in a combustion chamber.
- a flow of a combustion air / fuel mixture or of combustion air in a flow channel of the burner is imparted with an uneven swirl in the circumferential direction.
- the swirl device for imparting the swirl and the method for reducing combustion vibrations are explained in more detail. They show schematically and partly not to scale, showing the constructive and functional features used for the explanation:
- FIG. 1 shows a burner designed as a hybrid burner for a gas turbine and
- FIG. 2 shows a view of the swirl elements of the ring channel of the premix burner which are developed in the circumferential direction.
- the reference numerals feliere figures are each moving ⁇ che importance.
- the hybrid burner 1 shows a burner 1 designed as a hybrid burner 1 of a gas turbine, which is not shown in greater detail.
- the hybrid burner 1 has both a diffusion burner 2 and a premix burner 3.
- the premix burner 3 has an annular channel 4 with an outer wall 16, which is used to supply combustion air 5 or a combustion air / fuel mixture 5.
- a swirl device 6 Arranged in the ring channel 4 is a swirl device 6 with an outflow end 12, which serves to apply a swirl to a flow 7, which flow 7 forms the supplied combustion air / fuel mixture 5 or the combustion air 5 in the ring channel 4.
- the swirl device 6 is also referred to below as a swirl grille 6.
- the swirl grille 6 has a plurality of swirl elements 15, each of which is designed as a swirl blade.
- Fuel inlets 13 are arranged upstream of the outflow end 12, via which fuel 14 can be fed into the ring channel 4 and thus can be admixed with the combustion air 5.
- the diffusion burner 2 of the hybrid burner 1 is arranged coaxially in the ring channel 4 of the premix burner 3.
- the diffusion burner 2 has a combustion air supply duct 8 designed as an annular duct, in which a fuel supply duct 9 is arranged coaxially.
- the channels 8 and 9 of the diffusion burner 2 open into a nozzle 10.
- the diffusion burner has ner 2 in its combustion air supply channel 8, a pilot burner 11, which is provided for operating the premix burner 3.
- combustion air 5 is supplied via the ring channel 4 and mixes with fuel 14 supplied via the fuel inlets 13 to form a combustion air / fuel mixture.
- the combustion air / fuel mixture 5 forms a flow 7 with a local main flow direction 14
- An advantage of the described embodiment of the Hyb ⁇ d burner 1 is that, due to the uneven swirl that the flow 7 of the combustion air / fuel mixture 5 supplied to the combustion has, the outflow from the burner itself is uneven, which increases the combustion vibrations is at least reduced.
- Another advantage is that the flow 7 has a swirl with which the combustion is stabilized.
- the combustion air 5 upstream of the outflow end 12 forms a uniform flow 7.
- the uniform flow 7 of the combustion air 5 can be supplied and mixed with fuel 14 upstream, as a result of which a uniform mixture between combustion air 5 and fuel 14 can be achieved. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of NO x compounds formed during the combustion.
- a swirl grille arranged in the combustion air supply duct 8 can be designed such that a swirl which is uneven in the circumferential direction can be impressed on a flow forming in the combustion air supply duct 8.
- FIG. 2 shows a view of the swirl elements 15 of the ring channel 4 of the premix burner 3 which are developed in the circumferential direction, the direction 17 shown in FIG. 1 perpendicular to the outer wall 16 of the ring channel 4 being selected as the viewing direction.
- the swirl elements 15 each have a deflection surface 18.
- the deflection surfaces 18 each form an outflow angle ⁇ with the local main flow direction 14 (see also FIG. 1).
- the deflection surfaces 18 of two adjacent swirl elements 20 and 21 have different outflow angles cxi and ⁇ 2 .
- the flow 7 leaves the swirl grille 6 at the outflow end 12 with a swirl impressed unevenly in the circumferential direction.
- the swirl elements 20 and the swirl elements 21 are each combined to form a swirl group which have the outflow angle oci or ⁇ 2 .
- the invention is characterized by a burner in which combustion air or a combustion air / fuel mixture is fed to a combustion in a flow, a swirl which is uneven in the circumferential direction being impressed on the flow.
