Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of gas turbine technology, in particular to a gas turbine fuel nozzle. BACKGROUND

[0002] A gas turbine is a heat engine that extracts some of the heat energy from a flow of combustion gases, converts it into useful work, and releases the remaining energy against the environment. Typical gas turbines consist of three main components: a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine. Among them, the fuel nozzle is an important part of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine, which is used to inject fuel into the combustion chamber for combustion to release energy, and then output power to the outside through the turbine.

[0003] At present, with the gradual improvement of environmental protection standards, the industry has become more and more strict on the pollutant emission of gas turbines, especially ground gas turbines. In order to reduce the emission of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), dry low pollution combustion technology has been widely used as an energy-saving and environmentally friendly combustion technology with great prospects. It requires that the fuel and air be mixed as uniformly as possible before combustion to ensure that no local high temperature is generated during combustion, which greatly limits the generation of thermal nitrogen oxides, thereby reducing the emission of nitrogen oxides. The above-mentioned combustion technology puts forward higher requirements for the fuel mixing performance of the fuel nozzle.

[0004] However, due to the requirement for the efficiency of the gas turbine, in the design of the existing gas turbine, a heat preservation structure is usually wrapped around the wall surface of the combustion chamber, or a regenerative gas passage is arranged around the combustion chamber. This will increase the distance between the outer shell of the gas turbine and the combustion chamber, resulting in a fuel nozzle with a large length-diameter ratio arranged therebetween, making it difficult to meet the design requirements for the fuel mixing performance of the fuel nozzle. In addition, during the acceleration process of the gas turbine, especially when reaching the no-load condition, the air quantity is maximum and the fuel quantity is minimum, at which time it is easy to extinguish.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a gas turbine fuel nozzle. SUMMARY

[0043] When the gas turbine works, the main road gas 106 is transported through the main road gas pipeline 105.

The main road gas 106 enters the main fuel nozzle 120 through the eight small holes in the main fuel distribution cavity 114.

[0045] During the acceleration process of the engine, especially when reaching the no-load working condition, the amount of air entering from the air hole 204 is the largest, the amount of fuel of the standby road fuel gas 103 is the smallest, and the flow rate of the mixed gas is fast. Due to the action of the standby fuel air mixing cavity 203, the center nozzle 207 sprays a pencil-shaped flame, which is stable and not easy to be extinguished by the cold air backflow of the main road. At the same time, when the engine is in full load working condition, the amount of air entering through the air hole 204 is small, and the amount of fuel of the standby road fuel gas 103 is large, so the flow rate of the mixed gas is slow, which can make the fuel air ratio of the standby flame reach a reasonable value, form a premixed flame, and greatly reduce the NOx emission. Combined with the original premixed flame of the main road, the NOx emission of the entire nozzle is greatly reduced.

[0046] The above description is an explanation of the application, not a limitation of the application, the scope of the application is defined in the claims, within the protection scope of the application, any form of modification can be made.
