Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of combustible gas combustion experiments, and particularly relates to a large-diameter burner for experiments with uniform gas supply and high-efficiency anti-flashback, which has multiple functions such as uniform mixing of gas, uniform gas supply, high-efficiency anti-flashback, and providing wake gas. Background Art

[0002] Limited oil reserves and growing environmental problems have prompted people to study clean, renewable, and low-pollution energy sources. Renewable gases such as natural gas have been widely used in industrial production and people's daily lives. With the proposal of the "dual-carbon" strategic goal, hydrogen, a clean and carbon-free renewable energy source, has great value in aspects such as energy storage and direct use as fuel. Moreover, hydrogen can utilize some existing natural gas equipment and infrastructure, and mixing with natural gas can adjust certain characteristics of the mixture to make it suitable for specific applications, which makes hydrogen-enriched natural gas have broad application prospects.

[0003] However, hydrogen has some unique dangerous characteristics, such as high diffusivity, wide flammable range, and low minimum ignition energy, which make hydrogen have a higher risk of combustion and explosion during storage and use. After hydrogen is mixed with other gases, the fuel characteristics change. Conducting research on the flame propagation characteristics of premixed gases has important theoretical and practical significance in many aspects such as the application of clean fuels and safety engineering. There are significant differences in the flame combustion and propagation characteristics of different gas premixes and different mixing ratios, and current related research is still incomplete. Therefore, conducting relevant experimental research on premixed gas combustion to provide sufficient theoretical support for the safe utilization of premixed gas has important value. In addition, for burners with large nozzle diameters, ensuring uniform air flow is crucial, and due to the flammable and explosive characteristics of hydrogen, the risk of flashback is more likely to occur when using larger-diameter nozzles. In existing combustion experiment systems, there has not yet appeared a burner that integrates functions such as uniform mixing of gas, uniform gas supply, and high-efficiency anti-flashback.

[0004] The present invention provides a large-diameter burner for experiments with uniform gas supply and high-efficiency anti-flashback, which has multiple functions such as uniform mixing of gas, uniform gas supply, high-efficiency anti-flashback, and providing wake gas, and has a compact structure, facilitating popularization and use.

Specific implementation manner

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners:

[0030] In Figure 1 a large - caliber burner for experiments with uniform gas supply and high - efficiency anti - flashback mainly includes a mixing chamber 1, a rectifying sleeve 2, a nozzle 3, a wake sleeve 4, a gas guide pipe 5, a wake gas guide pipe 6, legs 7, a flow splitter cone 8, a first gas inlet 9, a second gas inlet 10, a third gas inlet 11, a fourth gas inlet 12, a first wake gas inlet 13, a second wake gas inlet 14, a wake gas rectifying ring 17, a first flame arrestor rectifying plate 18, a first snap ring 19, a porous medium plate 20, a second snap ring 21, a second flame arrestor rectifying plate 22, etc.

[0031] A flow splitter cone 8 is provided at the center of the inner cavity bottom of the mixing chamber 1, and three legs 7 are provided on the outer bottom surface. The gas guide pipe 5 is installed on the side wall of the mixing chamber 1, and the connection between the rectifying sleeve 2 and the gas guide pipe 5 is sealed. The structure of the gas guide pipe 5 is as Figure 2As shown, its exterior is a circular ring structure, with a first gas inlet 9, a second gas inlet 10, a third gas inlet 11 and a fourth gas inlet 12. The first gas inlet 9 is vertical and coaxial with the second gas inlet 10. The third gas inlet 11 is the first gas inlet 9 rotated 180° around the central axis of the circular ring of the gas flow guide tube 5. The fourth gas inlet 12 is coaxial with the third gas inlet 11. It can meet the needs of four different gas entering at the same time. The first gas and the second gas are offset, and the third gas and the fourth gas are offset, so that preliminary mixing can be achieved. A transverse tube 23 is provided along the inner diameter of the circular ring structure of the gas flow guide tube 5. The transverse tube 23 is placed inside the mixing chamber 1 and is perpendicular to the plane determined by the central axis of the first gas inlet 9 and the central axis of the third gas inlet 11. The airflow is offset at both ends of the transverse tube and mixed again. A gas outlet 24 is provided in the middle of the transverse pipe 23, and the gas outlet 24 is coaxial with the mixing chamber 1 and is located 1 to 2 cm above the diverter cone 8. After being ejected from the gas outlet 24, the gas hits the diverter cone 8 and spreads in the mixing chamber 1 more quickly and evenly.

[0032] The upper end of the mixing chamber 1 is connected to the rectifying sleeve 2, and the rectifying sleeve 2 has a structure as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the lower end is provided with a 5 to 10 mm thick variable diameter, whose inner diameter is 5 to 10 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the upper part of the fairing sleeve 2, and is used to support the second flame-blocking rectifier plate 22.

The funnel-shaped structure can effectively increase the gas outlet area and make the airflow more uniform. The lower cylindrical structure can shrink the flame, enhance heat exchange, and accelerate the flame extinguishing when flashback occurs, thus playing a role in flame blocking. The porous medium plate 20 is made of high-temperature resistant porous foam metal material with a pore size of 1 to 3 mm, which can make the airflow mixing more uniform and play a role in preventing flashback efficiently. The structure of the second flame-blocking rectifying plate 22 is as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, a second flame-blocking rectifying hole 26 is provided, the hole diameter is 2 to 3 mm, and the hole spacing is 3 to 4 mm, which has a pressurizing effect on the airflow, making its spatial distribution more uniform, and the slender second flame-blocking rectifying hole 26 also plays a third flame-blocking role. The first flame-blocking rectifying plate 18, the porous medium plate 20 and the second flame-blocking rectifying plate 22 are used in combination to fully mix the multi-channel gas, and the gas outlet speed is uniform and the flashback is effectively prevented.

[0033] The inner side of the upper end of the straightening sleeve 2 is connected to the nozzle 3. The upper half of the nozzle 3 is cylindrical and the lower half is truncated. The outer side of the upper end of the straightening sleeve 2 is connected to the wake sleeve 4. A wake gas straightening ring 17 is installed between the nozzle 3 and the wake sleeve 4.Figure 7 As shown, there is a wake gas rectifying hole 27 with a hole diameter of 2 to 4 mm and a hole pitch of 1 mm, which has the function of uniform wake gas. The side wall of the wake sleeve 4 is installed with Figure 4 the wake gas guide pipe 6 as shown. The connection between the wake sleeve 4 and the wake gas guide pipe 6 is sealed. The wake gas guide pipe 6 is composed of two coaxial ring structures, which are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the wake sleeve 4 and communicate with each other. The outer ring is provided with a first wake gas inlet 13 and a second wake gas inlet 14. The inner ring is located below the wake gas rectifying ring 17 and is evenly provided with wake gas outlet holes 15, and the wake gas outlet holes 15 face the wake gas rectifying ring 17.

[0034] Valves 16 are provided at the first fuel gas inlet 9, the second fuel gas inlet 10, the third fuel gas inlet 11, the fourth fuel gas inlet 12, the first wake gas inlet 13 and the second wake gas inlet 14. By controlling the opening and closing of the valves 16, the supply of 1 to 4 paths of fuel gas can be realized.
