In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for the purpose of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0032] The following will be described in conjunction with Figures 1 to 2 The present application describes a hydrogen fuel micro-diffusion staged combustion chamber arranged in a porous array.
[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a hydrogen fuel micro-diffusion staged combustion chamber arranged in a porous array, including a main combustion stage and a pre-combustion stage, the hydrogen flow of the main combustion stage is greater than that of the pre-combustion stage, to achieve more stable and efficient combustion.
[0034] The pre-combustion stage includes a petal unit stage nozzle, which can help to achieve more uniform mixing of fuel and air; the petal unit stage nozzle has a plurality of pre-combustion stage air holes 1 and a plurality of pre-combustion stage hydrogen holes 2, and the pre-combustion stage air holes 1 and the pre-combustion stage hydrogen holes 2 are arranged one-to-one, that is, one pre-combustion stage air hole 1 corresponds to one pre-combustion stage hydrogen hole 2, the arrangement of the pre-combustion stage air holes 1 and the pre-combustion stage hydrogen holes 2 allows air and hydrogen to be ejected simultaneously and uniformly, thereby generating a stable small-scale flame in the pre-combustion stage.
[0035] The main combustion stage includes an annular nozzle, and the annular nozzle is sleeved on the outer periphery of the petal unit stage nozzle, this arrangement ensures that the fuel and air of the main combustion stage can interact with the flame generated by the pre-combustion stage, thereby achieving more efficient combustion. The annular nozzle has a plurality of main combustion stage air holes 3 and a plurality of main combustion stage hydrogen holes 4 arranged one-to-one, the layout and number of which can be adjusted according to actual needs to optimize the combustion effect.
[0036] When the system starts to work, the petal unit stage nozzle of the pre-combustion stage first introduces a small amount of air and hydrogen into the combustion chamber through the pre-combustion stage air holes 1 and the pre-combustion stage hydrogen holes 2, forming a small-scale stable flame. Then, the annular nozzle of the main combustion stage introduces more air and hydrogen into the combustion chamber through the main combustion stage air holes 3 and the main combustion stage hydrogen holes 4. These fuels and air interact with the flame generated by the pre-combustion stage, achieving more stable and efficient combustion.
[0037] The present application adopts the design of porous array arrangement, so that the mixing of fuel and air is more uniform, thereby improving the combustion efficiency, in addition, the design of staged combustion makes the combustion process more stable, reduces the combustion fluctuation, optimizes the combustion effect; using a large number of small flames instead of the whole large flame, reduces the residence time of reactants, which can reduce the generation of NOx.
[0038] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one possible embodiment of the present application, the pre-combustion stage further comprises a pre-combustion stage air inlet pipe 5, a pre-combustion stage gas collection chamber 6 and a pre-combustion stage air supply plate 7. One end of the pre-combustion stage air inlet pipe 5 is an air inlet, which is the entry point of hydrogen. The diameter and length of the pre-combustion stage air inlet pipe 5 can be adjusted according to the pressure and flow requirements of the system. The pre-combustion stage gas collection chamber 6 is in communication with the other end of the pre-combustion stage air inlet pipe 5, and is used to collect and distribute hydrogen entering from the pre-combustion stage air inlet pipe 5. The periphery of the pre-combustion stage gas collection chamber 6 is provided with pre-combustion stage hydrogen holes 2, which uniformly inject hydrogen into the combustion chamber and mix with the air of the pre-combustion stage. The pre-combustion stage air supply plate 7 is provided on the periphery of the pre-combustion stage air inlet pipe 5, and its main function is to provide air. The pre-combustion stage air supply plate 7 is provided with pre-combustion stage air holes 1, which correspond one-to-one with the pre-combustion stage hydrogen holes 2, to ensure that air and hydrogen can be uniformly mixed in the combustion chamber.
[0039] Hydrogen enters the pre-combustion stage gas collection chamber 6 through the pre-combustion stage air inlet pipe 5 and is uniformly injected into the combustion chamber through the pre-combustion stage hydrogen holes 2, while air enters the combustion chamber through the pre-combustion stage air holes 1 on the pre-combustion stage air supply plate 7 and mixes with the hydrogen. Due to the one-to-one correspondence between the pre-combustion stage air holes 1 and the pre-combustion stage hydrogen holes 2, it is ensured that air and hydrogen can be uniformly mixed in the combustion chamber, thereby forming a stable small-scale flame, achieving low-emission, stable and safe combustion of hydrogen fuel.
[0040] In one possible embodiment of the present application, the pre-combustion stage hydrogen holes 2 are 0-3mm away from the exit plane of the pre-combustion stage air holes 1. The pre-combustion stage hydrogen holes 2 and the pre-combustion stage air holes 1 are relatively close, so that hydrogen and air can mix rapidly after leaving the nozzle, reducing the mixing time and improving the combustion efficiency. Shorter mixing distance helps to reduce the mixture of unburned hydrogen and air, reducing the content of harmful substances in the emissions. Uniformly mixed fuel and air can reduce the instability factors in the combustion process, thereby reducing the noise and vibration generated by combustion, and having an inhibitory effect on combustion oscillation.
[0041] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the pre-combustion stage air supply plate 7 is further provided with a pre-combustion stage vortex generator 8. The pre-combustion stage vortex generator 8 generates vortex effect to optimize the mixing process of hydrogen and air in the pre-combustion stage. When the air enters the combustion chamber through the pre-combustion stage air hole 1, the pre-combustion stage vortex generator 8 generates vortex. These vortexes help to guide the hydrogen out of the pre-combustion stage hydrogen hole 2 and mix with the air more fully and uniformly. The pre-combustion stage vortex generator 8 can increase the turbulence of the fluid and improve the mixing efficiency, thereby ensuring more stable and efficient combustion in the pre-combustion stage.
[0042] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the main combustion stage further includes a main combustion stage air inlet pipe 9, a main combustion stage air collection chamber 10 and a main combustion stage air supply plate 11. One end of the main combustion stage air inlet pipe 9 is used for hydrogen input. Hydrogen enters the combustion chamber through the main combustion stage air inlet pipe 9 to provide the necessary fuel for combustion. The main combustion stage air collection chamber 10 is in communication with the other end of the main combustion stage air inlet pipe 9 for collecting and distributing hydrogen entering from the main combustion stage air inlet pipe 9.
[0043] The inner and / or outer periphery of the main combustion stage air collection chamber 10 is provided with main combustion stage hydrogen holes 4, i.e., the inner periphery or the outer periphery of the main combustion stage air collection chamber 10 can be provided with main combustion stage hydrogen holes 4, or both the inner and outer periphery of the main combustion stage air collection chamber 10 can be provided with main combustion stage hydrogen holes 4. These main combustion stage hydrogen holes 4 are used to distribute hydrogen uniformly into the combustion chamber for mixing with air and burning. The main combustion stage air supply plate 11 is arranged on the inner and / or outer periphery of the main combustion stage air collection chamber 10, and the main combustion stage air supply plate 11 is provided with main combustion stage air holes 3. The main combustion stage air holes 3 are used to introduce air into the combustion chamber to mix with hydrogen released from the main combustion stage hydrogen holes 4. By reasonably designing the size, number and position of the main combustion stage air holes 3, it can be ensured that hydrogen and air are fully mixed in the main combustion stage, thereby achieving efficient and stable combustion.
[0044] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the distance between the main combustion stage hydrogen holes 4 and the exit plane of the main combustion stage air holes 3 is 0-3mm. First, because the distance between the main combustion stage hydrogen holes 4 and the main combustion stage air holes 3 is short, hydrogen and air can mix rapidly after leaving the nozzle, reducing the mixing time and improving the combustion efficiency. Second, the close distance between the main combustion stage hydrogen holes 4 and the main combustion stage air holes 3 makes the hydrogen and air form more uniform mixed gas in the combustion chamber, which helps to achieve more stable and uniform combustion. Third, the short mixing distance helps to reduce the mixture of unburned hydrogen and air, reducing the content of harmful substances in the exhaust. Finally, uniform fuel-air mixture can ensure that the fuel is fully utilized in the combustion process, thereby improving the combustion efficiency. Uniformly mixed fuel and air can reduce the instability factors in the combustion process, thereby reducing the noise and vibration generated by combustion and avoiding backfire.
[0045] In one possible embodiment of the present application, the primary combustion stage air holes 3 adopt a hexagonal structure. Compared with traditional circular or square holes, the hexagonal structure has higher flowability and mixing efficiency. Its unique geometry can promote the uniform distribution of air flow and effective mixing with hydrogen, thereby improving combustion efficiency and stability. Since the hexagonal hole can better promote the mixing of air and hydrogen, the fuel in the combustion chamber can be more fully utilized. This not only improves combustion efficiency, but also reduces the emission of unburned gas. The design of the hexagonal hole can achieve higher hole density in a limited space, thereby increasing air flow and mixing effect. This compact structure helps to save space and makes the combustion chamber more compact and efficient.
[0046] In one possible embodiment of the present application, the primary combustion stage air holes 3 located on the periphery of the primary combustion stage air supply plate 11 are inclined, with a circumferential, radial, or circumferential-radial coupling inclination, and the inclination angle ranges from 0° to 30°. When the primary combustion stage air holes 3 are inclined circumferentially, air will flow along the circumferential direction of the combustion chamber, helping to enhance air circulation in the combustion chamber and promote fuel-air mixing. When the primary combustion stage air holes 3 are inclined radially, air will directly reach the combustion area, improving combustion efficiency. When the primary combustion stage air holes 3 are inclined circumferentially and radially, the sum of the two effects can be achieved, ensuring that air flow directly reaches the combustion area while also promoting air circulation in the combustion chamber.
[0047] The inclination angle range is usually selected between 0° and 30°. This angle range is based on the design parameters of the combustion chamber, fuel type, combustion requirements, and other factors. A smaller inclination angle may not be sufficient to produce a significant effect, while a larger inclination angle may cause flow instability or increase flow resistance. By setting the above angle, the air can be swirled, making the mixing with the fuel more sufficient, improving the combustion efficiency, reducing NOx emissions, and helping to improve combustion stability and control oscillation.
[0048] In one possible embodiment of the present application, the pre-combustion stage vortex generator 8 is a triangular vortex generator. The triangular pre-combustion stage vortex generator 8 generates strong vortexes in fluids (such as air or gas) through its unique shape and structure. This vortex has multiple effects on the combustion process. First, the vortex can enhance the mixing between fluids, allowing fuel and air to mix more fully, thereby improving combustion efficiency. Second, the vortex can also increase the degree of turbulence in the combustion chamber, making combustion more uniform and reducing flame instability.
[0049] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the diameter of the main combustion stage hydrogen hole 4 is 0.5-0.9mm, and the diameter of the pre-combustion stage hydrogen hole 2 is 0.5-1mm. By changing the diameter of the main combustion stage hydrogen hole 4 and the pre-combustion stage hydrogen hole 2, it is found that the size of the diameter of the main combustion stage hydrogen hole 4 and the pre-combustion stage hydrogen hole 2 has a significant impact on the oscillation.
[0050] Therefore, the present application provides a porous array arranged hydrogen fuel diffusion staged combustion chamber, which realizes low emission, stable and safe combustion of hydrogen fuel, and can test the impact of different sizes of the main combustion stage hydrogen hole 4 and the main combustion stage air hole 3 and different circumferential and radial main combustion stage outermost main combustion stage air hole 3 on the combustion characteristics, and find that it has an inhibitory effect on combustion oscillation.
