Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas turbine combustion chamber technology, and more specifically relates to a porous evaporator tube type fuel staged multi-nozzle combustion chamber. Background Technology
[0002] Numerous research institutions have shown that staged LDI combustion schemes can effectively reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, particularly NOx emissions. x Emissions are more than 80% lower than those specified in CAEP / 6. However, the current technology has the following problems:
[0003] (1) In existing multi-nozzle combustion chambers, the main combustion stage nozzles all operate in a non-premixed combustion mode. The fuel and air are not fully mixed, and there are areas with uneven stoichiometric ratios of reactants, which can cause the generation of local high-temperature zones and local NO. x The generation rate is too high.
[0004] (2) Both the main combustion nozzle and the standby nozzle employ swirling combustion. The swirling flow results in a larger flame expansion angle, and the standby flame and the main combustion flame have a large interaction area, generating a higher heat release rate, leading to a higher flame temperature, and also causing localized NO2. x Too high, lower NO x Their capabilities are limited.
[0005] (3) The duty nozzle adopts the same structure as the main combustion nozzle, and the outlet of the duty nozzle and the main combustion nozzle are in the same axial section. When only the central duty flame is working, the cold airflow of the outer main combustion stage will have a cooling quenching effect on the central duty flame, resulting in a deterioration of the fuel-air ratio performance of the combustion chamber.
[0006] (4) In the prior art, the main combustion nozzle adopts a vortex and a venturi tube structure of contraction and expansion section, which results in an excessively large radial dimension and a large head height of the main combustion nozzle, making it unsuitable for use in the compact casing space of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine of existing ships.
[0007] Currently, extensive research has been conducted both domestically and internationally on low-emission combustors, resulting in numerous related patent applications. For example, Chinese invention patent application number 201710343294.1 discloses a lean multi-point direct injection head for a low-emission combustor in a gas turbine. This head employs staged combustion technology, dividing combustion into a main combustion stage and a secondary combustion stage through multi-point direct injection. It utilizes multiple identical swirl nozzle molds, with the secondary combustion stage swirl nozzle mold positioned at the center. The secondary combustion stage swirl nozzles and the main combustion stage swirl nozzle molds are circumferentially spaced to ensure stable combustion and reduce pollutant emissions under various operating conditions. However, this invention still fails to address the aforementioned technical problems of uneven fuel-air mixing, susceptibility of the secondary combustion stage to cold air from the main combustion stage, leading to lean fuel quenching, deteriorated fuel-air ratio performance, and the generation of large amounts of nitrogen oxides.
[0008] Chinese invention patent application number 201810741853.9 discloses a perforated multi-point direct injection swirler and a perforated multi-point direct injection head structure. It is equipped with a seven-point air nozzle mold, divided into a duty stage and a main combustion stage. By setting air inlets with different angles and diameters in the perforated swirler, the oil and gas are mixed evenly, effectively avoiding the problems of spontaneous combustion and backfire. However, the design of the swirler results in a large volume of the entire combustion chamber head, which cannot be adapted to the compact casing space of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine of existing ships. In addition, the concave design and the angled air inlets result in a large flame expansion angle. There is a large interaction area between the duty flame and the main combustion flame, which produces a higher heat release rate. The local high temperature will produce more nitrogen oxides, resulting in higher emissions.
[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a combustion chamber that can solve the above problems in the combustion chambers of diesel-fueled ships and industrial gas turbines in my country. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the cyclone cup sleeve is provided with a boss, and the front end of the limiting domain is provided with a groove. The boss is embedded in the groove, and the duty cyclone cover plate is bolted to the limiting domain to fix the cyclone cup sleeve and the limiting domain.
[0016] Furthermore, the auxiliary combustion nozzle structure and the main combustion nozzle structure have the same internal structure; the auxiliary combustion nozzle structure includes a porous evaporator tube, an oil inlet tube, and a first centrifugal nozzle; the oil inlet tube is externally threaded to the porous evaporator tube; the oil inlet tube is internally threaded to the first centrifugal nozzle; the porous evaporator tube wall is provided with three stages of air inlet holes in sequence, the first two stages of air inlet holes are reverse oblique holes, and the third stage of air inlet hole is a straight hole; the porous evaporator tube is provided with a flow guiding channel inside.
[0017] Furthermore, the oil inlet pipe is connected to the porous evaporator pipe at one end in a stepped shape, and the stepped part of the oil inlet pipe is sealed to the porous evaporator pipe by a copper gasket.
[0018] Furthermore, the auxiliary combustion nozzle structure, the main combustion nozzle structure, and the head end wall are connected by a connecting structure.
[0019] Furthermore, the connection structure includes a main stage floating ring outer pressure plate, a main stage floating ring inner pressure plate, and a main stage floating ring; the head end wall is fixedly connected to the main stage floating ring outer pressure plate and the head end wall is fixedly connected to the main stage floating ring inner pressure plate; the main stage floating ring outer pressure plate has a slot at its center that matches the main stage mounting hole, and the main stage floating ring inner pressure plate has a slot on its outer edge that matches the main stage mounting hole; the main stage floating ring is disposed in the slot after the main stage floating ring outer pressure plate and the main stage floating ring inner pressure plate are fitted together, and is fixed to the head end wall by the main stage floating ring outer pressure plate and the main stage floating ring inner pressure plate; the multi-hole evaporator tube has an annular protrusion on the tube wall away from the oil inlet; the annular protrusion and the main stage floating ring are fitted together with a clearance to fix the multi-hole evaporator tube to the head end wall.
[0020] Furthermore, the head end wall has a groove at its center that matches the outer diameter of the outer pressure plate of the main floating ring, and two cylindrical protrusions are provided between the main mounting holes; the outer pressure plate of the main floating ring has a through hole with the same diameter as the outer ring protrusion between its holes and grooves; the inner pressure plate of the main floating ring has a through hole with the same diameter as the inner ring protrusion between its holes and grooves; the outer pressure plate of the main floating ring and the inner pressure plate of the main floating ring are embedded in the head end wall, the protrusions cooperate with the through holes, and are fixed to the protrusions by bolts.
[0021] Furthermore, cooling holes are evenly provided around the main mounting hole and the duty mounting hole for cooling the side of the head end wall that contacts the flame.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0023] This invention provides a multi-nozzle, perforated evaporator-type fuel staged combustion chamber for use in ship gas turbine combustion chambers, offering three fuel supply modes. By controlling the fuel supply components to supply fuel to combustion in stages under different operating conditions, the temperature fluctuations in the combustion chamber are stabilized, resulting in higher combustion efficiency and lower nitrogen oxide emissions.
[0024] The main combustion stage nozzle structure of this invention employs a pre-mixed and pre-evaporated porous evaporator. A three-stage air intake mode is set on the porous evaporator tube wall, allowing the fuel mist to completely evaporate and mix with air under the combined action of the three airflows. This results in a more uniform temperature in the combustion chamber, reducing the risk of uneven equivalence ratios caused by excessively high local temperatures, which could damage the combustion chamber. Simultaneously, the two-stage counter-swirling airflow shearing reduces the tangential velocity, thereby decreasing the expansion angle of the main combustion flame and the interaction area between the main combustion flame and the standby flame, effectively reducing the formation of nitrogen oxides.
[0025] When the duty nozzle structure is in operation, the airflow enters the duty nozzle in stages. The confinement area of the duty nozzle separates the duty flame from the main combustion cold airflow, avoiding the quenching effect of the main combustion cold airflow on the duty flame and improving the lean flame quenching performance of the combustion chamber. With the injection of air through the three-stage progressive eccentric air inlet, the duty flame gradually decreases in stoichiometry downstream, making combustion more stable, improving combustion efficiency, and effectively reducing the formation of nitrogen oxides.
[0026] In addition, since the diameter of the porous evaporator tube is much smaller than that of the conventional cyclone structure, the requirements for the head height are not high, and it can be applied in the compact casing space of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine in active ships.

The three auxiliary combustion nozzle structures 3 and the six main combustion nozzle structures 4 are arranged in a ring with the main combustion mounting hole. Each auxiliary combustion nozzle structure 3 is dispersed between two main combustion nozzle structures 4.
[0047] Please see the appendix Figure 13 The oil supply outlet at one end of the duty nozzle structure 2 is welded to the head end wall 1. The duty nozzle structure 2 includes a second centrifugal nozzle 13, a first-stage hydrocyclone 14, a second-stage hydrocyclone 15, a hydrocyclone cup sleeve 16, a duty hydrocyclone cover plate 17, and a confinement area 18. The first-stage hydrocyclone 14, the second-stage hydrocyclone 15, and the hydrocyclone cup sleeve 16 are 3D printed integral hydrocyclone cup structures. The first-stage hydrocyclone 14 has a through hole in the middle, which is fixed to the second centrifugal nozzle 13. The connecting end of the second centrifugal nozzle 13 has a stepped structure to control the axial depth of the second-stage hydrocyclone 14. Guides are provided between the first-stage hydrocyclone 14 and the second centrifugal nozzle 13, and between the second-stage hydrocyclone 15 and the hydrocyclone cup sleeve 16. The secondary cyclone separator 15 has a converging guide channel at the other end to transport the oil mist sprayed from the second centrifugal nozzle 13 into the cyclone cup sleeve 16. One end of the cyclone cup sleeve 16 has a boss, and the front end of the limiting region 18 has a groove. The boss is embedded in the groove. The duty cyclone separator cover plate 17 is bolted to the limiting region 18 to fix the cyclone cup sleeve 16 and the limiting region 18. The outer wall of the end of the limiting region 18 is stepped, and the inner diameter increases. The stepped sidewall has three progressive eccentric air inlets with the opening direction at a certain angle to the radial direction. Downstream of the eccentric air inlets of the limiting region 18, there are several uniformly arranged cooling holes. Cooling gas enters the limiting region 18 from the cooling holes to cool the inner surface of the limiting region 18.
[0048] Please see the appendix Figure 12 The auxiliary combustion nozzle structure 3 and the main combustion nozzle structure 4 have the same internal structure. Referring to the attached drawings, the auxiliary combustion nozzle structure 3 includes a porous evaporator tube 11, an oil inlet pipe 9, and a first centrifugal nozzle 12. One end of the oil inlet pipe 9 is stepped, and its sidewall has external threads. One end of the porous evaporator tube 11 has internal threads, and one end of the oil inlet pipe 9 is threadedly connected to the porous evaporator tube 11. A copper gasket 10 seals the stepped portion of the oil inlet pipe 9 with the porous evaporator tube 11. The inside of the oil inlet pipe 9 is stepped, and its inner wall has internal threads. One end of the first centrifugal nozzle 12 has external threads, and the first centrifugal nozzle 12 is located inside the porous evaporator tube and threadedly connected to the oil inlet pipe 9.
[0049] The porous evaporator tube 11 has a reduced inner diameter after the thread is completed, and a flow guide channel is provided in the center. Downstream of the flow guide channel is the oil-gas mixing area, where the inner diameter increases. The porous evaporator tube 11 has three stages of air inlets sequentially arranged on its wall.

The first stage air inlet is located at the front end of the centrifugal nozzle 9 outlet, and the second stage air inlet is located downstream of the first stage air inlet, within the oil-gas mixing area. The third stage air inlet is a straight hole, located downstream of the second air inlet. With the three-stage air intake of the porous evaporator tube 11, the oil mist sprayed from the first centrifugal nozzle 12 evaporates rapidly and mixes with air under the action of the two reverse-oriented oblique holes and one straight hole air inlet of the porous evaporator tube 11. It can be completely evaporated at the outlet of the porous evaporator tube 11, resulting in a uniformly mixed fuel vapor and air mixture.
[0050] Please see the appendix Figure 4-11 Taking the auxiliary combustion nozzle structure 3a as an example, the auxiliary combustion nozzle structure 3, the main combustion nozzle structure 4, and the head end wall 1 are fixed together by a connecting structure; the connecting structure includes a main stage floating ring outer pressure plate 5, a main stage floating ring inner pressure plate 6, and a main stage floating ring 8; the head end wall 1 has a groove at its center that matches the outer diameter of the main stage floating ring outer pressure plate 5, and two cylindrical protrusions 20 are provided between the main stage mounting holes, with nine outer ring protrusions and nine inner ring protrusions. The part is provided with a threaded structure; the outer pressure plate 5 of the main floating ring has a groove in the center that matches the main stage mounting hole, and a through hole with the same diameter as the outer ring protrusion is provided between each groove; the outer edge of the inner pressure plate 6 of the main floating ring has a groove that matches the main stage mounting hole, and a through hole with the same diameter as the inner ring protrusion is provided between each groove; the outer pressure plate 5 of the main floating ring and the inner pressure plate 6 of the main floating ring are embedded in the head end wall 1, the protrusion 20 cooperates with the through hole, and is fixed to the protrusion 20 by bolts.
[0051] like Figures 11-12 As shown, the porous evaporator tube 11 has an annular protrusion 19 on the tube wall away from the oil inlet end; the main stage floating ring 8 is disposed in the groove after the main stage floating ring outer pressure plate 5 and the main stage floating ring inner pressure plate 6 are fitted together, and is fixed to the head end wall 1 by the main stage floating ring outer pressure plate 5 and the main stage floating ring inner pressure plate 6; there is a 1mm radial gap between the main stage floating ring 8 and the main stage floating ring outer pressure plate 5 and the main stage floating ring inner pressure plate 6, which is the floating gap of the floating ring; the annular protrusion 19 and the main stage floating ring 8 are fitted together to fix the porous evaporator tube 11 and the head end wall 1; there is a 0.1mm gap between the annular protrusion 19 and the main stage floating ring 8, which limits the flow area between the porous evaporator tube 11 and the main stage floating ring 8, and prevents excess gas from entering the flame tube.
[0052] This invention relates to a multi-nozzle, perforated evaporator-type fuel staged combustion chamber applied to the combustion chamber of a ship's gas turbine, which has three fuel supply modes: during startup and idle conditions, only the duty nozzle structure supplies fuel; as the operating conditions continue to increase, the duty nozzle structure and the auxiliary main combustion stage nozzle structure supply fuel; and as the operating conditions continue to increase, the duty nozzle structure, the auxiliary main combustion stage nozzle structure, and the main combustion stage nozzle structure all supply fuel.
[0053] The centrally located duty nozzle structure employs a centrifugal nozzle combined with a two-stage axial counter-rotating vortex cup and a three-stage progressive eccentric air inlet expansion and confinement domain structure to isolate the duty flame from the main combustion stage cold air, preventing the cold airflow from the main combustion stage nozzle structure from quenching the duty flame.
[0054] The duty nozzle structure employs a centrifugal nozzle combined with a two-stage axial counter-swirling cyclone and a three-stage progressive eccentric air inlet expansion and confinement zone. Air, under the action of the first-stage cyclone, the second-stage cyclone, and the cyclone cup sleeve, forms a strong backflow zone. The oil mist ejected from the centrifugal nozzle forms an oil film on the inner wall of the contraction guide channel of the second-stage cyclone. The oil film and droplets in the contraction guide channel are further broken up by the two counter-rotating airflows provided by the first and second-stage cyclones, and quickly mixed with air, forming an oil-rich gas-oil mixture inside the cyclone cup sleeve. This keeps the root of the duty flame continuously oil-rich. With the supplemental air from the three-stage progressive eccentric air inlet, the equivalence ratio of the duty flame gradually decreases downstream, making combustion more stable and beneficial for reducing NO. x The generation of .
[0055] This invention employs a premixed, pre-evaporated porous evaporator tube as the fuel-air mixing structure for the main combustion stage nozzle. A three-stage intake mode is used: the first stage uses an oblique-hole intake, guiding the airflow to the fuel-air mixing region through a guide channel; the shearing effect of the counter-swirling airflow from the first and second stage intakes rapidly mixes the fuel and air ejected from the centrifugal nozzle; the third stage uses a straight-hole airflow with a high momentum ratio (penetration depth), enabling even faster and more effective mixing of fuel and air within the fuel-air mixing region. Under the combined action of these three airflows, completely evaporated fuel droplets form at the guide channel outlet; the uniformly mixed fuel-air mixture results in a lean, premixed flame for the main combustion stage, leading to a more uniform combustion zone temperature and contributing to NO reduction. x generate.
[0056] Conventional multi-nozzle low-emission combustors have a lean fuel-air ratio of 0.005 at idle, while the porous evaporator-type fuel-stage multi-nozzle combustor of this invention, verified in high-temperature and high-pressure combustion bench tests, achieves a lean fuel-air ratio of 0.001 at idle, significantly improving idle lean fuel-air performance. NO under design conditions... x Emissions are below 50 ppm, achieving excellent low-emission performance.
[0057] By adjusting the length and diameter of the porous tube, the residence time of fuel within it can be controlled, ensuring complete evaporation without spontaneous combustion. Furthermore, due to the high axial velocity of the air entering the porous tube, the shearing action between the two counter-swirling airflows results in a significantly lower tangential velocity at the outlet than the axial velocity. This tangential velocity component at the outlet can be approximated as negligible. Consequently, the expansion angle of the main combustion flame is smaller, and the interaction area between the main combustion flame and the standby flame is also smaller, which is beneficial for further reducing NOx emissions. x The generation of .
[0058] In addition, since the diameter of the porous evaporator tube is much smaller than that of the conventional cyclone structure, the requirements for the head height are not high, and it can be applied in the compact casing space of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine in active ships.
