TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of combustion chambers, in particular to a dual-fuel center-staged multi-flame combustion chamber. BACKGROUND
[0002] In aircraft power systems, the design of combustion chambers is one of the key technologies. Among them, the center-staged multi-flame combustion chamber has shown significant advantages in widening the stable working range of the combustion chamber, reducing local rich oil area, and reducing soot generation, etc. Through the staged design of the nozzle, the combustion chamber can realize stable combustion state according to different working condition requirements, thereby effectively improving the combustion efficiency and combustion uniformity. Further, through the precise adjustment of the nozzle position, the temperature distribution at the outlet of the combustion chamber can also be finely adjusted to meet the strict requirements of the engine on temperature uniformity.
[0003] However, although the center-staged multi-flame combustion chamber performs well in many aspects, its fuel distribution is uneven, and the combustion is incomplete under high load and high speed conditions. These problems not only limit the performance of the combustion chamber, but also may lead to the decline of the overall efficiency and stability of the engine, thereby affecting the overall performance of the aircraft. Especially under high throughflow conditions, the ignition and self-stable flame performance of kerosene as fuel is poor, which further aggravates the problem of incomplete combustion.
[0004] Pure hydrogen combustion chambers, such as hydrogen diffusion combustion chambers and hydrogen micro-mixing combustion chambers, have unique advantages in high-temperature and high-efficiency combustion. However, under high throughflow conditions, the combustion process of hydrogen is prone to cause thermal acoustic oscillation, leading to unstable combustion, which seriously affects the performance and safety of the combustion chamber.
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of single fuel, mixed fuel combustion chambers have emerged. Among them, the dual-fuel combustion system of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and aviation kerosene is a typical representative. This system uses LNG and aviation kerosene as fuel, which can solve the shortcomings of single fuel in combustion performance, economy or environmental protection to some extent. However, the combustion process of mixed fuel is more complex than that of single fuel, especially in the case of mixing multiple fuels, how to realize uniform mixing and stable combustion of fuel has become a big problem in the design of mixed fuel combustion chambers.

Specifically, the blades of the first swirler 214 form a first tangential inlet 2141, through which air can enter the interior of the first swirler 214 and mix with the first fuel (kerosene), i.e. enter the first passage 230 and mix with the first fuel (kerosene), and then enter the pre-combustion chamber 220 after mixing. The first tangential inlet 2141 generates a swirl flow in the first swirler 214, which can fully mix with the first fuel (kerosene).

[0043] The second nozzle 212 is in communication with the inlet of the annular plenum 213, and the outlet of the annular plenum 213 is in communication with the pre-combustion chamber 220 through the first venturi 216. Specifically, the first venturi 216 is arranged between the annular plenum 213 and the pre-combustion chamber 220, the first venturi 216 accelerates the flow rate of the gas passing through and reduces the pressure, thereby forming a flow rate adjustment effect and further enhancing the mixing efficiency. In addition, the first venturi 216 can further atomize the first fuel (kerosene) to improve the atomization effect. The side wall of the first venturi 216 is provided with a flow channel 2161, the inlet of the flow channel 2161 is in communication with the outlet of the annular plenum 213, and the distal end of the first venturi 216 is provided with a jet port (such as a micropore with a diameter of 0.3 mm), such as Figure 6 As shown, the jet port is the outlet 21611 of the flow channel, the second fuel (hydrogen) enters the annular plenum 213, flows to the distal end of the first venturi 216 through the flow channel on the side wall of the first venturi 216, and is sprayed towards the pre-combustion chamber 220 through the outlet 21611 of the flow channel.

The second nozzle 212 comprises a direct injection nozzle.
[0045] Further, the pre-combustion stage assembly 210 further comprises a second swirler 215, which is arranged between the annular plenum 213 and the pre-combustion mixing chamber 220 and is located at the outer periphery of the first venturi 216, the blades of the second swirler 215 are formed with second tangential inlets 2151, through which air can enter the second swirler 215, enter the air flow channel formed between the inner wall of the second swirler 215 and the outer wall of the first venturi 216, and after mixing with the second fuel (hydrogen) injected from the end of the first venturi 216, the mixture enters the pre-combustion mixing chamber 220. In the case that no second fuel is introduced into the second channel 240, the air can be mixed with the first fuel (kerosene) at the outlet of the second channel 240, and after mixing, it enters the pre-combustion mixing chamber 220. The second tangential inlets 2151 generate a swirling flow in the second swirler 215, which can fully mix with the fuel at the outlet of the second channel 240.
[0046] The embodiment of the present application can improve the mixing effect of air and the first fuel (kerosene) by arranging the first swirler 214, and can improve the mixing effect of air and the second fuel (hydrogen) or the first fuel (kerosene) by arranging the second swirler 215, so that the first fuel (kerosene) and the second fuel (hydrogen) can enter the combustion chamber body 100 in a lean state and burn stably. By arranging the first venturi 216, the atomization effect of the first fuel (kerosene) can be improved. In addition, the combustion chamber can switch to the second fuel (hydrogen) when the first fuel (kerosene) is burning. When the second fuel (hydrogen) is burning stably, the first fuel (kerosene) is burned.

Air can enter the mixing pipe 320 through the third tangential inlet 321 to generate a rotational flow, that is, enter the third channel 350, and be fully mixed with the first fuel in the third channel 350. The third tangential inlet 321 is a plurality of third tangential inlets 321 which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mixing pipe 320, so as to increase the amount of air entering and improve the mixing effect of air and the first fuel (kerosene). The third nozzle 310 is a direct jet nozzle.
[0048] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the first main combustion stage device 300 further comprises a sleeve pipe 330 arranged in the mixing pipe 320. The inlet of the sleeve pipe 330 is communicated with the third tangential inlet 321, and air can enter the sleeve pipe 330 through the third tangential inlet 321 to generate a rotational flow. The inlet of the sleeve pipe 330 is also communicated with the third nozzle 310, and the first fuel (kerosene) enters the sleeve pipe through the third nozzle 310. The outlet of the sleeve pipe 330 is communicated with the outlet of the mixing pipe 320. The cross-sectional area of the sleeve pipe 330 gradually decreases along the direction from the inlet of the sleeve pipe 330 to the outlet of the sleeve pipe 330, and the flow rate of the fluid in the sleeve pipe 330 gradually increases. The first fuel (kerosene) enters the sleeve pipe 330 through the third nozzle 310, is mixed with the air entering through the third tangential inlet 321, forms a film on the inner wall of the sleeve pipe 330, and is broken and atomized at the end of the sleeve pipe 330 as the flow rate increases.

Air can enter the mixing pipe 320 through the first opening 322 to mix with the atomized first fuel (kerosene) at the end of the sleeve pipe 330. The first opening 322 is a plurality of first openings 322 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mixing pipe 320, so as to further improve the mixing effect. The amount of air entering is increased, so that the first fuel (kerosene) in the mixing pipe 320 is injected into the combustion chamber body 100 in a lean state, the temperature of the main combustion zone is reduced, and the emission of NOx is reduced.
[0050] Further, the first main combustion stage device 300 further comprises a second venturi 340 arranged in the mixing pipe 320. The inlet of the second venturi 340 is communicated with the outlet of the sleeve pipe 330, and the outlet of the second venturi 340 is communicated with the outlet of the mixing pipe 320. Figure 5As shown, the first opening 322 is located between the outlet of the sleeve pipe 330 and the inlet of the second venturi 340; the outlet of the second venturi 340 communicates with the outlet of the mixing pipe 320. The first fuel (kerosene) enters into the sleeve pipe 330 through the third nozzle 310, mixes with the air entering through the third tangential inlet 321 to form a film on the inner wall surface of the sleeve pipe 330, and breaks at the end of the sleeve pipe 330 to realize the first atomization as the flow rate increases. The atomized first fuel (kerosene) mixes with the air entering through the first opening 322, and then enters into the second venturi 340 to form a film on the inner wall surface of the second venturi 340 again. As the structure of the second venturi 340 changes, the flow rate also changes, and the first fuel (kerosene) breaks at the end of the second venturi 340 to realize the second atomization. The twice-atomized first fuel (kerosene) enters into the combustion chamber body 100, and the atomization effect is good, which helps to improve the stability of combustion.
[0051] The outer wall of the mixing pipe 320 is further provided with a second opening 323, which is arranged near the outlet of the second venturi 340. The air enters into the air flow channel between the inner wall of the mixing pipe 320 and the outer wall of the second venturi 340 through the second opening 323, flows towards the outlet direction of the mixing pipe 320, and mixes with the first fuel (fuel) at the end of the mixing pipe 320 and the end of the second venturi 340 again. The second opening 323 is a plurality of second openings 323, which are arranged along the circumference of the mixing pipe 320 at intervals, to further improve the mixing effect; the amount of air entering increases, and the first fuel (kerosene) is injected into the combustion chamber body 100 in a lean state, which reduces the temperature of the main combustion zone and reduces the emission of NOx.
[0052] The first opening 322 in the embodiment of the application can be circular, elliptical, polygonal, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and the like. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the first opening 322 is a rectangular opening. The second opening 323 in the embodiment of the application can be circular, elliptical, polygonal, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and the like.

The fourth nozzle 410 communicates with the inlet of the gas collecting box 420 and sprays the second fuel (hydrogen) into the gas collecting box 420, so as to reduce the flow rate of the second fuel (hydrogen) in the gas collecting box 420. The third channel 350 is provided with a through hole 324, i.e. the outer periphery of the mixing pipe 320 in the avoiding hole is provided with the through hole 324, the outlet of the gas collecting box 420 communicates with the through hole 324, so as to realize the communication between the gas collecting box 420 and the third channel 350. The second fuel (hydrogen) enters the gas collecting box 420 through the fourth nozzle 410, and after the flow rate is reduced in the gas collecting box 420, the second fuel (hydrogen) enters the combustion chamber body 100 through the outlet of the gas collecting box 420, the through hole 324 and the outlet of the third channel 350. The fourth nozzle 410 comprises a direct jet nozzle.
[0054] It is to be noted that the air inlet of the third channel 350 is the air inlet of the fourth channel 430 at this time, i.e. the air enters the third channel 350 through the third tangential inlet 321, the first opening 322 and the second opening 323 on the mixing pipe 320, mixes with the second fuel (hydrogen) at the outlet of the gas collecting box 420, and then enters the combustion chamber body 100 after mixing. The second fuel (hydrogen) is slightly diffused into the combustion chamber body 100, and lean combustion is formed, so as to form a short and small flame. The high molecular diffusion rate and high flame speed of hydrogen can realize better mixing, lower high-temperature gas residence time and combustion temperature, and greatly reduce the generation amount of NOx. When the first fuel (kerosene) is used for combustion in the combustion chamber, the fourth nozzle 410 inputs air into the gas collecting box 420 at this time, which can mix with the first fuel (kerosene) in the third channel 350 on the one hand, and can prevent the first fuel (kerosene) in the third channel 350 from entering the gas collecting box 420 through the outlet of the gas collecting box 420 on the other hand.
[0055] The first nozzle 211, the second nozzle 212, the third nozzle 310 and the fourth nozzle 410 of the embodiment of the present application can make the distribution of the first fuel (kerosene) and the second fuel (hydrogen) in space more uniform, avoid local rich oil or rich hydrogen, and reduce the generation of soot. In addition, the temperature distribution in the combustion chamber body 100 can be adjusted to improve uniformity.
[0056] In a specific embodiment, the structure of the combustion chamber body 100 is as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the length is 135mm, the height is 90mm, the length of the top arc segment is 388.4014mm, and the length of the bottom arc segment is 208.3932mm. The diameter of the third nozzle 310 in the first main combustion stage device 300 is 0.945mm, and the length of the third nozzle 310 extending into the mixing tube 320 is 8.2mm. The third tangential inlet 321 of the mixing tube 320 is a circular hole with a diameter of 2mm, and there are 12 third tangential inlets 321. The first opening 322 is a rectangular opening with a length of 4.5mm and a width of 1mm, and there are 24 first openings 322. The second opening 323 is also a rectangular opening with a length of 6mm and a width of 1mm, and there are 24 second openings 323. The end of each mixing tube 320 is provided with 10 through holes 324 with a diameter of 1mm for the second fuel (hydrogen) to be sprayed out. The diameter of the fourth nozzle 410 in the second main combustion stage device 400 is 4.5mm. The diameter of the first nozzle 211 in the precombustion stage device 200 is 0.3mm, and the diameter of the second nozzle 212 is 2.5mm.
