Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of high-end equipment, and in particular to a dual-path sliding arc ignition head based on multi-point atomization, strong swirl and blunt body reflux flame stabilization, and liquid ammonia cooling electrodes, and an operation method thereof, which is used for developing a new type of zero-carbon burner. Background Art

[0002] Climate change is one of the main threats to the earth's environment, and the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere from fossil energy sources exacerbates global warming. Currently, the electricity and heat production industry accounts for the highest share of carbon emissions in the country.

[0003] 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.

[0004] 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 of ammonia fuel, there are problems such as low flame propagation speed, ignition difficulty, poor flame stability, and high NOx emissions, which need to be solved urgently.

[0005] 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.

[0006] 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.

[0007] In response to the above-mentioned problem of difficult ignition of ammonia burners under high power and high flow rate, the present invention proposes a dual-path sliding arc ignition head solution based on multi-point atomization, strong swirl and blunt body reflux flame stabilization, and liquid ammonia cooling electrode, which can effectively solve the problems of difficult ignition of ammonia under high flow rate, unstable and insufficient combustion, etc. Summary of the invention
