Description
Technical Field

[0002] At present, gas turbines have been widely used in various industries such as energy, electricity, and ships. The combustion chamber is one of the essential components of a gas turbine. The chemical energy contained in the fuel in the combustion chamber is converted into heat energy through the combustion chemical reaction, forming high-temperature (usually high-pressure) combustion products to drive the turbine to do work. Usually, gas turbines use natural gas as fuel, which releases a large amount of carbon dioxide when burned, significantly increasing carbon emissions. Therefore, finding a clean fuel to replace traditional hydrocarbon fuels is the only way forward in the future.
[0003] As a clean and efficient energy source, hydrogen is of great significance in energy technology reform and energy development strategy. In recent years, it has developed rapidly due to its advantages such as cleanliness, environmental protection and sustainable utilization.

If hydrogen is used as gas turbine fuel, carbon emissions can be significantly reduced. Because hydrogen burns quickly during premixed combustion, it faces the risk of flashback.

[0070] The above-mentioned combustion chamber adopts a combination of high-speed injection of premixed fuel gas and a blunt body, which can make the premixed gas of hydrogen and air burn in a reasonable design area and avoid backfire, so that hydrogen can be stably premixed and burned in the combustion chamber, significantly reducing carbon emissions; the combustion temperature of hydrogen is relatively high, so a cooling medium injection structure is provided inside the blunt body 17, and the front temperature of the diffusion combustion flame surface downstream of the service nozzle in the fuel premixing structure can be reduced by injecting a cooling medium into the flame tube 29, thereby significantly reducing the generation of thermal nitrogen oxides, reducing pollutant emissions, and reducing the degree of pollution to the environment.
[0071] As a specific embodiment, the cooling medium injection structure includes a cooling medium supply chamber 20 and a cooling medium connecting pipe 19. The cooling medium supply chamber 20 is arranged inside the bluff 17, and a plurality of injection holes 21 connected to the cooling medium supply chamber 20 are provided on the surface of the bluff 17, and a high temperature resistant pressure nozzle is provided on the injection hole 21. The cooling medium connecting pipe 19 is connected to the cooling medium supply chamber 20, and the end of the cooling medium connecting pipe 19 extends from the flame tube 29 and is connected to the cooling medium source. The cooling medium discharged from the cooling medium source in this embodiment is transported to the cooling medium connecting pipe 19, and is transported to the cooling medium supply chamber 20 through the cooling medium connecting pipe 19, and is ejected in the opposite direction of the fuel discharged from the fuel premixing structure through the injection hole, thereby effectively reducing the front temperature of the combustion flame surface.
[0072] The cooling medium in this embodiment is cooling water, but other media may also be used, which is not limited here.
[0073] The cooling medium supply cavity 20 is annular, and its cross-sectional shape is the same as the front end of the bluff body 17, which can increase the cooling area and reduce the wall temperature of the front end of the bluff body.
[0074] A plurality of cooling medium connecting pipes 19 are provided and evenly distributed along the circumference of the flame tube 29. Each cooling medium connecting pipe 19 extends out of the flame tube 29 and is respectively connected to the cooling medium loop 18, and the cooling medium loop 18 is connected to the cooling medium source. In this embodiment, the cooling medium supply cavity 20 is supplied with cooling medium through a plurality of cooling medium connecting pipes 19 evenly arranged circumferentially, so that the amount of cooling medium introduced along the circumference of the cooling medium supply cavity 20 is more uniform. The cooling medium loop 18 can supply cooling water to the cooling medium supply cavity 20 through the cooling medium connecting pipe 19. Then the cooling water is sprayed to the flame front of the duty diffusion combustion flame through the spray hole 21 to reduce the flame front temperature and reduce the generation of nitrogen oxides.
[0075] The combustion chamber is suitable for the combustion of hydrogen, that is, the present invention adopts the method of premixing hydrogen and air before combustion.
[0076] As a specific implementation, the fuel premixing structure includes a main combustion premixing nozzle and a diffusion service nozzle. There are a plurality of main combustion premixing nozzles, which are evenly arranged in the combustion chamber head 1 in the circumferential direction. The main combustion premixing nozzle is suitable for multi-stage premixing of hydrogen and discharging the premixed hydrogen into the flame tube 29. More specifically, 8 sets of main combustion premixing nozzles are provided in this embodiment. The diffusion service nozzle is arranged in the combustion chamber head 1, and the diffusion service nozzle is suitable for diffusing the service hydrogen into the flame tube 29.
[0077] The main combustion premixing nozzle includes a premixed air supply pipe 2 and a premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4. The end of the premixed air supply pipe 2 is connected to the flame tube 29. The premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4 is sleeved inside the premixed air supply pipe 2, one end of the premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4 is connected to the premixed hydrogen source, and the other end of the premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4 is open and located inside the premixed air supply pipe 2.

The premixed air supply chamber 3 is an annular chamber, and the premixed air supply chamber 3 is connected to the premixed air source for supplying high-pressure air required for premixed combustion. The premixed hydrogen source in this embodiment inputs hydrogen to the premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4, and inputs high-pressure air to the premixed air supply pipe 2 through the premixed air source. The hydrogen discharged from the end of the premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4 is mixed with the high-pressure air inside the premixed air supply chamber 3, and the premixed gas is discharged into the flame tube 29.
[0078] As a further improved implementation, the combustion chamber head 1 is contracted from the front end to the rear end, which is used to accelerate the flow of air. And / or the middle section of the premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4 is provided with a wedge-shaped structure, the middle section of the wedge-shaped structure is expanded, and the front and rear sections of the wedge-shaped structure are contracted, which is suitable for rectifying and accelerating the air flow, thereby increasing the gas flow rate entering the flame tube 29. And / or the premixed air supply pipe 2 and the premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4 are set as contraction structures, which achieves the purpose of accelerating the gas flow. Through the above structure, the speed of the premixed fuel gas flowing out of the transition section 8 is extremely fast, which is much higher than the propagation speed of the hydrogen flame so that it cannot be stationary and burned, thereby ensuring that the hydrogen will not burn in the fast propagation area 32 to prevent backfire.
[0079] As a further improved implementation, a premixed hydrogen supply chamber 5 and a premixed hydrogen main supply chamber 6 are provided in the premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4. The premixed hydrogen supply chamber 5 is an annular channel and is provided with a plurality of hydrogen premixing holes 7 connected to the premixed air supply chamber 3.

The premixed hydrogen source in this embodiment can supply hydrogen to the premixed hydrogen supply chamber 5 and the premixed hydrogen main supply chamber 6 at the same time. The hydrogen supplied by the premixed hydrogen auxiliary supply chamber 5 can be first discharged into the premixed air supply chamber 3 through the hydrogen premixing hole 7 to be premixed with the air that has been accelerated once. The remaining part of the hydrogen in the premixed hydrogen auxiliary supply chamber 5 is transmitted from the outlet downstream of the premixed hydrogen auxiliary supply chamber 5. The hydrogen transmitted from the premixed hydrogen main supply chamber 6 and part of the hydrogen transmitted from the outlet downstream of the premixed hydrogen auxiliary supply chamber 5 are mixed with the primary mixed gas again and propagated to the downstream of the premixed air supply pipe 2.

[0085] The above-mentioned diffusion duty nozzle uses a double-stage swirler inside and adopts a Venturi device 15, which is conducive to the formation of the reflow zone and flame stabilization, and stabilizes the reflow zone on the inner side of the bluff body 17.
[0086] As a further improved implementation, an air intake grille 16 is provided between the service nozzle 9 and the transition section 8. The air intake grille 16 is provided with a number of evenly distributed through holes for air circulation. The through holes can transport air to the flame tube 29 to participate in combustion, and cool the Venturi device 15 before combustion to reduce its wall temperature.
[0087] In the above-mentioned fuel premixing structure, the air and hydrogen required in the main combustion premixing nozzle are supplied by separate pipelines to ensure that the supply pressure and flow rate are high enough. The air required in the diffusion duty nozzle is provided by the compressor. After the air is transmitted from the compressor outlet, it enters the guide sleeve through the combustion and compression cylinder, and then flows from the tail to the head of the combustion chamber, and finally enters the combustion chamber head 1, and enters the flame tube 29 through the secondary diffusion air supply cavity 10, the primary diffusion air supply cavity 11, the air intake grille 16 and the bypass between the combustion chamber head 1 and the premixing air supply pipe 2.

The circular inlet is connected to the outlet of the premixed air supply pipe 2, and the square outlet is evenly distributed along the circumference at the end of the combustion chamber head 1, which plays a guiding role and can reasonably distribute the flow field structure so that the high-speed mixed air can be evenly propagated to the front of the blunt body 17.
[0089] As a specific implementation, the bluff body 17 includes a bluff body front end and a bluff body rear end, the bluff body front end is conical, and the bluff body rear end is rectangular and rounded to reduce fuel flow loss. The inner side of the bluff body front end is the bluff body inner turbulence zone 33, and the outer side of the bluff body front end is the bluff body outer turbulence zone 34; when the premixed gas propagates to the bluff body front end, a part of it flows into the bluff body inner turbulence zone 33 for combustion, and the other part flows into the bluff body outer turbulence zone 34 and flows along the outer surface of the bluff body 17 to the bluff body rear end.

The hydrogen supply connecting pipe 23 is arranged on the bluff body 17 and is connected to the hydrogen supply chamber 24. The hydrogen supply connecting pipe 23 partially extends out of the flame tube. There are a plurality of hydrogen supply connecting pipes 23 evenly distributed along the circumference of the flame tube, so that the hydrogen input to the hydrogen supply chamber 24 is more evenly distributed.

The hydrogen supply loop 22 is connected to a hydrogen source, which can discharge hydrogen into the hydrogen supply loop 22, the hydrogen supply connecting pipe 23 and the hydrogen supply chamber 24, and then discharge it into the interior of the flame tube through the secondary hydrogen supply hole 25 on the hydrogen supply chamber 24.
[0093] Specifically, there are 8 cooling medium connecting pipes 19 and 8 hydrogen supply connecting pipes 23 , corresponding to the main combustion premixing nozzles, and the 8 pipes simultaneously inject water and secondary hydrogen into the cooling medium supply chamber 20 and the hydrogen supply chamber 24 .
[0094] In the above-mentioned secondary hydrogen supply structure, the secondary hydrogen flows in the hydrogen supply cavity 24, cools the rear end wall of the bluff body, and can preheat the secondary hydrogen while absorbing heat, thereby reducing the secondary hydrogen consumption and improving the combustion efficiency. The preheated hydrogen is transmitted from the secondary hydrogen supply hole 25 to the downstream of the bluff body 17 to participate in the combustion.
[0095] The cooling medium loop 18 and the hydrogen supply loop 22 are coaxially arranged with the flame tube 29, the bluff body 17 and the service nozzle 9 respectively.
[0096] As a further improved implementation, a cooling hole 27 is provided on the side wall of the flame tube 29 at the rear end of the bluff body. A plurality of cooling holes 27 are provided, and the cooling holes 27 are suitable for cooling the wall surface of the flame tube 29 and reducing the wall surface temperature of the flame tube 29.
[0097] And / or a mixing hole 28 is provided on the side wall of the flame tube 29 located at the rear end of the bluff body, and a plurality of mixing holes 28 are provided, and each mixing hole 28 is evenly arranged on the side wall of the flame tube 29 in a circumferential direction, and the mixing holes 28 are suitable for adjusting the temperature distribution at the combustion chamber outlet to make the combustion chamber outlet temperature more uniform.
[0098] The required flow rates and flow rates of the premixed air supply chamber 3, the premixed hydrogen main supply chamber 6, the premixed hydrogen auxiliary supply chamber 5 and the duty hydrogen supply chamber 12 in the present invention all support independent adjustment.
[0099] like Fig. 9 As shown, in the premixed air supply chamber 3, the outlet of the hydrogen premixing hole 7 is the primary premixing zone 30, where part of the hydrogen and air are mixed for the first time. Between the outlet of the premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4 and the transition section 8 is the secondary premixing zone 31, where all hydrogen and air are premixed; between the transition section 8 and the blunt body 17 is the rapid propagation zone 32, where the mixed gas propagates rapidly and cannot be stationary for combustion. The inside of the blunt body 17 is the turbulent flow zone 33 inside the blunt body, and the outside of the blunt body 17 is the turbulent flow zone 34 outside the blunt body. When the mixed gas propagates to the front end of the blunt body 17, part of it flows into the turbulent flow zone 33 inside the blunt body, and the rest flows into the turbulent flow zone 34 outside the blunt body. Behind the blunt body 17 is the secondary diffusion combustion zone 35, where the secondary hydrogen is mixed with the secondary air flowing in from the secondary air supply hole 26 and diffusely burns. Downstream of the duty nozzle 9 is the duty flame combustion zone 36, which can generate a swirl zone to stabilize the flame.
[0100] The working process of the present invention is as follows:
[0101] The hydrogen required by the diffusion duty nozzle is supplied separately by the corresponding pipeline, and the air is provided by the compressor. After the hydrogen enters the duty hydrogen supply chamber 12, it is transported to the venturi device 15 through the hydrogen hole at its end. At the same time, after the air is transmitted from the compressor outlet, it enters the guide bushing through the combustion and compression cylinder, flows from the tail of the combustion chamber to the head of the combustion chamber 1, and then enters the primary diffusion air supply chamber 11 and the secondary diffusion air supply chamber 10 respectively. After flowing through the two-stage cyclone, it is transmitted from the outlet and quickly mixed with the hydrogen. After being evenly mixed, it is transmitted to the flame tube 29 and ignited by the igniter to form the duty flame.
[0102] The hydrogen and air required by the main combustion premixing nozzle are supplied separately by the corresponding pipelines. The air propagates downstream at high speed in the premixed air supply chamber 3. At the same time, the hydrogen in the premixed hydrogen auxiliary supply chamber 5 and the premixed hydrogen main supply chamber 6 also propagates downstream at high speed. Among them, part of the hydrogen in the premixed hydrogen auxiliary supply chamber 5 is transmitted from the hydrogen premixing hole 7, enters the premixed air supply chamber 3 and mixes with the air once, and then the mixed gas continues to propagate downstream until it propagates to the outlet of the premixed hydrogen supply pipe 4, and then it is mixed with the hydrogen in the premixed hydrogen main supply chamber 6 and the remaining hydrogen in the premixed hydrogen auxiliary supply chamber 5 for a second time, which can improve the mixing efficiency. The premixed gas after uniform mixing enters the flame tube 29 through the transition section 8.
[0103] In the flame tube 29, the premixed gas first passes through the fast propagation zone 32, in which the propagation speed of the premixed gas is so fast that it cannot be stationary and burn; when it propagates to the front of the bluff body 17, it is diverted and decelerated by the front end structure of the bluff body 17, so that the flow speed of the premixed gas is equivalent to the flame propagation speed, a part of it flows to the turbulence zone 33 inside the bluff body, and is ignited and burned by the duty flame in this area, and the other part flows to the turbulence zone 34 outside the bluff body, and flows along the outer surface of the bluff body 17 to the rear end of the bluff body 17, and participates in the combustion at the rear end of the bluff body. The injection hole 21 can spray water to the flame front in the duty flame combustion zone 36 to reduce the flame front temperature, thereby reducing the generation of thermal nitrogen oxides and cooling the front end of the bluff body 17 at the same time; the secondary hydrogen supply hole 25 can spray secondary hydrogen behind the bluff body 17 and cool the rear end of the bluff body 17 at the same time, and the secondary hydrogen is quickly mixed with the secondary air introduced from the secondary air supply hole 26 and then diffused and burned, which can improve the situation where there is no combustion or even no airflow organization in some areas behind the bluff body 17 due to the obstruction of the bluff body 17, and can effectively improve the flow field structure in the flame tube 29 and the temperature distribution at the combustion chamber outlet.
[0104] The present invention can also use the following method to supplement the air required for combustion: air is supplemented from the air intake grille 16, the supplemented air first cools the venturi device 15, then quickly mixes with the premixed gas and propagates downstream, and finally participates in combustion. An air bypass can also be provided between the combustion chamber head 1 and the premixed air supply pipe 2, and the air from the compressor can enter the flame tube 29 through the bypass to participate in combustion, thereby supplementing the air required for hydrogen combustion.
