Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of high-end equipment, and in particular to a high-power sliding arc igniter based on a gas-liquid cooling electrode and an operating method thereof, which are used for developing a new type of zero-carbon burner. Background Art

[0002] In order to reduce carbon emissions from fossil energy, it is necessary to vigorously develop green new energy, including photovoltaics, wind power, etc. Due to the strong random volatility of wind and solar energy, the low utilization rate of new energy, resulting in waste of resources, so energy storage technology is needed to smooth the peak and fill the valley. Hydrogen energy, as a kind of energy storage technology, has the advantages of being green, efficient, carbon-free, and having a long storage time. It is an important part of the future energy system and will help accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of high-energy-consuming and high-carbon emission industries. However, the large-scale application of hydrogen energy urgently needs to break through low-cost and high-efficiency fuel cell technology and low-cost and safe hydrogen storage and transportation technology. Among them, the poor safety and high cost of hydrogen storage and transportation have become the main difficulties in the development of hydrogen energy.

[0003] As a hydrogen carrier, ammonia has the characteristics of high energy density, low storage and transportation cost, and high safety, and is expected to break through the bottleneck of hydrogen energy development. However, in the application process of ammonia fuel, there are problems such as low flame propagation speed, difficult ignition, poor flame stability, NO x Problems such as high emissions need to be addressed urgently.

[0004] Scholars in this field have conducted in-depth research on the problems of difficult ammonia ignition and poor flame stability, including technologies such as adding fossil fuels to ammonia, adding ammonia to hydrogen, oxygen-enriched combustion, plasma-assisted combustion and staged combustion technology. Among them, adding fossil fuels to ammonia can effectively increase the flame propagation speed of the fuel, but it cannot completely solve the carbon emission problem; ammonia blended with hydrogen combustion can increase the flame propagation speed without additional carbon emissions, but the storage and transportation of hydrogen or online cracking of ammonia to produce hydrogen technology needs further research; oxygen-enriched combustion technology has low difficulty and high cost, which greatly reduces the economy of ammonia combustion and loses its competitive advantage. Plasma can enhance combustion through thermal, chemical and transport effects, effectively reduce ignition delay time and increase flame propagation speed. The patent "A sliding arc plasma duty flame head in an aircraft engine combustion chamber" is a Chinese patent application with application number CN202111216787.1. Its fuel nozzle is located in the cathode sleeve, and sliding arc discharge is generated at the outlet of the swirler, which improves the quality of the outlet temperature field and increases the service life of the aircraft engine turbine; the patent "A three-dimensional rotating sliding arc plasma exciter combined with a single and double path" is a Chinese patent application with application number CN202110298162.8. The inner and outer groups of swirlers correspond to a group of electrodes respectively, which can generate two sliding arcs at the same time, broaden the ignition boundary of the aircraft engine combustion chamber, and improve combustion efficiency; the patent "A variable sliding arc plasma central graded combustion chamber head" is a Chinese patent application with application number CN202310426844.1. Electrodes are arranged in the main combustion stage and the duty stage respectively to generate two sliding arcs, and the swirler can be disassembled and replaced, which has the advantages of simple structure, high reliability and low cost. The above-mentioned sliding arc plasma actuators are all used for the ignition of kerosene in aircraft engines. Due to their low discharge power and heat release power, they cannot meet the stable combustion of ammonia at high flow rates, and are prone to ammonia escape problems caused by incomplete combustion. In particular, when liquid ammonia is introduced into high-power burners as fuel, higher requirements are placed on the ignition performance of the igniter.

[0005] However, directly increasing the discharge power of the sliding arc igniter will cause the electrode surface temperature to be too high, accelerate the electrode surface ablation, and seriously affect the igniter life.

[0006] In response to the above-mentioned ammonia combustion and high-power sliding arc igniter life problems, the present invention proposes a high-power sliding arc igniter solution based on gas-liquid cooling electrodes, which can effectively solve the problems of difficult ammonia ignition under high flow rate and large flow rate, unstable and insufficient combustion, etc. Summary of the invention

[0015] Furthermore, the high-power sliding arc igniter has four working modes. In working mode one, air is introduced into the first air inlet, enters the internal concave cavity of the high-voltage electrode through the first ammonia supply pipe, part of the air is ejected through the small-diameter hole of the high-voltage electrode, and part of the air is introduced into the low-voltage electrode through the second ammonia supply pipe, the insulating interface, the third ammonia supply pipe, the solenoid valve, the fourth ammonia supply pipe and the igniter mounting seat, and is ejected from the small-diameter hole of the low-voltage electrode; in working mode two, ammonia is introduced into the first air inlet, enters the internal concave cavity of the high-voltage electrode through the first ammonia supply pipe, part of the ammonia is ejected through the small-diameter hole of the high-voltage electrode, and part of the ammonia is introduced into the low-voltage electrode through the second ammonia supply pipe, the insulating interface, the third ammonia supply pipe, the solenoid valve, the fourth ammonia supply pipe and the igniter mounting seat, and is ejected from the small-diameter hole of the low-voltage electrode; in working mode three , liquid ammonia is introduced into the first air inlet at a small flow rate, and enters the internal concave cavity of the high-voltage electrode through the first ammonia supply pipe.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0028] The present invention adopts a gas-liquid cooling electrode method to reduce the electrode surface temperature, reduce the electrode ablation rate, and increase the life of the sliding arc igniter, which can greatly increase the discharge power of the sliding arc igniter, thereby improving the performance of the sliding arc igniter; in particular, liquid ammonia is introduced into the high-power ammonia burner, which places extremely high requirements on the performance of the igniter. The present invention fully utilizes the heat absorption characteristic of liquid ammonia vaporization to reduce the temperature of the electrode and increase its life. After the vaporized ammonia is mixed with air, it is oxidized and releases heat under the action of the sliding arc, thereby increasing the outlet temperature of the igniter; the scheme proposed by the present invention has three benefits for improving the performance of the igniter: first, the electrode temperature is reduced by liquid ammonia vaporization to increase the life of the electrode; second, the reduction in electrode temperature can achieve higher power sliding arc discharge; third, the oxidation of the vaporized ammonia increases the outlet temperature of the igniter.
