Definitions
- the invention relates to a burner for a gas turbine, comprising:
- a burner of the incipiently mentioned type is known from the document WO 2009/121777 .
- An essential feature of this burner described in that document is that the pilot combustor is provided with its own combustion room enclosed by its own combustion housing and discharges a concentration of heat and radicals into a main combustion zone, which enables a stable combustion after ignition.
- major aims associated with gas turbine burner design are the enhancement of thermal efficiency, stabilization respectively elimination of pulsations and noise and the reduction of polluting emissions, especially nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons next to particle emissions.
- a conventional throat opening like described in the above mentioned WO 2009/121777 is of round respectively cylindrical shape with regard to the inner surface of the throat, wherein the pilot combustion room is tapered in the direction of the flow into the main combustion room.
- the main flow through the throat which is at least partially cylindrical with a cylinder axisthe direction of the effective flow through the throat discharges into the main combustion room.
- An essential feature of the invention is to give the discharging flow a defined velocity distribution with regard to a circumferential direction. Specifications like axial, radial and circumferential always refer to said burner axis, if not specified differently.
- axial, radial and circumferential always refer to said burner axis, if not specified differently.
- WO 2009/121777 it was observed that relatively low frequency instabilities can occur due to entering of the flame front from the main combustion zone into the pilot burner housing through the throat.
- the likely hood of the entering of the flame front through the throat of a pilot burner can be significantly influenced by giving the velocity flow distribution in the throat a circumferential component in a controlled and defined manner. This way the problem of the flame front entering the pilot burner room can be eliminated.
- a very effective way according to a preferred embodiment of the invention to eliminate the likelyhood of entering the flame front through the throat into the pilot burner is to shape the protrusions or recesses in the throat to obtain a radial crosssection like a cross or a star.
- Another preferred embodiment provides a radial cross section of the throat forming a triangle, a quadrangle, a pentagon or another polygon without being a circle.
- the aim of the invention can be reached by implementing a radial cross section in the throat, which inhibits a circumferential velocity component, which corresponds to the circumferential velocity component in the main burner room, which is given by the swirler discharging air and/or fuel into the main combustion room.
- protrusions and/or recesses are provided with a basically helical shape extending along the center line to give the flow through the throat a swirl.
- a different approach having a similar effect provides protrusions and/or recesses, which are basically parallel to said burner axis to give the flow a velocity distribution without a swirl respectively to reduce the circumferential velocity down to preferably nearly 0 in contrast to the velocity distribution in the main combustion room.
- said burner comprises a swirler discharging air or/and fuel into said main combustion room establishing a main swirl in said main combustion room of a first direction, wherein said protrusions and/or recesses are formed such that the flow exiting said throat is given a counter wise swirl.
- This design should inhibit any intrusion of a flame front through the throat from the main combustion room very efficiently.
- the efficiency can further be improved by providing nozzles in the throat for discharging fuel into the flow of heat and radicals through the throat. If at least a part of the fuel to be supplied to the pilot combustor by means of the supply module is instead injected through said nozzles the temperature in the pilot combustion room can be reduced resulting in lower levels of nitrogen oxide. On the other hand a significantly improved mixing of the fuel injected and the flow of radicals through the throat is established since the fuel is injected at a small diameter in the area of the throat, which eases the intrusion of a jet of fuel into this flow at the location of the nozzles.
- a further improvement of the mixing can be obtained, when the nozzles are provided on flanks or sidewalls of said protrusions and/or recesses in the throat. This way the fuel is injected at locations, where the potential start of a swirl is most likely resulting in a wide distribution of the fuel injected.
- FIG one shows a longitudinal cross section through a burner B according to the invention.
- the burner B comprises a pilot combustor PC and a main combustor MC.
- the pilot combustor PC supplies a flow of heat H and radicals R into a main combustion room MCR of the main combustor MC.
- the main combustor MC comprises a burner housing BH enclosing the main combustion room MCR and the supply of air A and fuel F into the main combustor room and further in a non depicted manner the burner housing BH also encloses the pilot combustor PC.
- the pilot combustor PC discharges the heat H and the radicals R into said main combustion room MCR through a throat THR.
- a burner axis CX is defined by a center line extending in the direction of the resulting main flow through said throat THR.
- the supply of air A and fuel F into the main combustion room MCR is provided by two annular channels, a first channel CH1 and a second channel CH2.
- the first channel CH1 is divided from the second channel CH2 by a splitter plate SP.
- Both openings of said channels CH1, CH2 into the main combustion room MCR have an annular shape, which is coaxial to the burner axis CX. Further, the openings of the channel CH1, CH2 succeed to each other in a staggered manner with regard to the burner axis CX, wherein the first channel CH1 opens upstream into the main combustion room with regard to the second channel CH2 and downstream with regard to said throat THR of the pilot combustor PC.
- a main swirler MSW provided in the first channel CH1 and the second channel CH2 gives the mixture of fuel F and air A a defined swirl influencing significantly the flow distribution in the main combustion room MCR.
- the shape of the main combustion room MCR, the flow distribution of the mixture of fuel F and air A entering the main combustion room through channel CH1 and channel CH2 and the radicals R discharged into the main combustion room MCR by the pilot combustor PC establish a recirculation zone RCZ in the main combustion room MCR in training a portion or deburned combustion gas CG, which might contain unburned hydro carbons from an exhaust EXH of the burner housing BH.
- the velocity distribution in main combustion room MCR further establishes a stagnation point STP downstream said throat THR and on the burner axis CX. While in the centre of the recirculation zone RCZ the mixture is relatively lean and the temperature is high, the mixture is enriched at the openings of said first channel CH1 and said second channel CH2 into the main combustion room MCR, where a flame front FF is most likely to establish.
- a main fuel injection MFI is provided in the first channel CH1 and the second channel CH2 injecting the major portion of fuel F to be burned in the burner B.
- the pilot combustion PC is provided with a supply module SM supplying fuel F and Air A into a pilot combustion room PCR.
- the amount of fuel F and air A to be supplied into the pilot combustion room PCS is below 15% of the total mass flow of fuel F and air A into the burner B.
- the combustion in the pilot combustor room PCR is richer than in the main combustion room MCR, which results in a significantly higher temperature.
- the pilot combustion room PCR is equipped with an ignition module IGN, which ignites the combustion in the pilot combustor PC.
- the pilot combustor PC has its own pilot combustor housing PCH, which is cooled by a cooling air flow CAF.
- the cooling air flow CAF passes through a preferated?
- a surrounding cooling cavity CCV channeling the cooling air flow CAF on the pilot combustor housing PCH passes a separate swirler SWP upstream entering the main combustion room MCR.
- the fuel F and air A entering the pilot combustion room PCR through the supply module SM is premixed.
- the throat THR is provided with flow guiding protrusions PRO to give the flow entering the main combustion room MCR a defined circumferential velocity distribution.
- a further fuel injections happens in the throat THR trough side walls of the protrusions PRO, which are provided with nozzles NOZ ejecting a jet of fuel F into the flow of heat H and radicals R discharging into the main combustion room.
- the nozzles NOZ connect the flow channel of the throat THR with an inner cavity CV provided in the protrusion PRO, which is supplied with fuel F through channels provided in the adjacent wings of said swirler SWP.
- the wings of the swirler SWP receive the fuel F from channels through a side wall of said first channel CH1.
- Figure 2 shows a three dimensional picture of a throat THR according to the invention.
- the throat THR is provided with basically round shape extending coaxially along said burner axis CX.
- the same throat THR is also depicted in figure 3 shown in a different perspective.
- Protrusions PRO are provided with a symmetry, which results in a cross shape CSH of the opening of the throat THR.
- An inner surface IS is provided with convex KS and concave KK portions.
- the radial cross section depicted in figure 3 comprises concave KK and convex KS portions of the inner surface IS of the throat THR.
- the protrusions PRO and the recesses REC in figure 3 are basically parallel to the burner axis CX.
- FIG. 4 shows a preferred embodiment of the throat THR according to the invention in a three-dimensional simplified depiction.
- Said protrusions PRO and recesses REC follow basically a helical path arranged coaxially around a burner axis CX.
- the swirl of the flow given by this helical shape is counterwise with regard to the swirl in the main combustion room MCR.
- Figure 5 shows a throat THR provided with fuel injection by means of nozzles NOZ provided on flanks respectively side walls of the protrusions PRO respectively recesses REC.
- the nozzles NOZ connect an inner cavity CF inside said protrusions PRO, which is supplied with pressurized fuel F to be injected into the flow through nozzles provided in the throat THR.
- the inner cavity CV receives the flow of fuel F through a non depicted channel provided in swirler wings of the pilots swirler SWP.
