Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of combustion, and in particular to an arc torch combustion-supporting device and an ammonia 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.

The above-mentioned sliding arc plasma actuators are all used for the ignition of kerosene in aircraft engines. Due to the 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 caused by incomplete combustion, especially when the fuel introduced into the high-power burner is liquid ammonia, which puts higher requirements on the ignition performance of the igniter.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, an arc torch combustion-supporting device adopts liquid ammonia as a cooling medium. The arc torch combustion-supporting device comprises at least one pair of electrodes, wherein the electrode pair is an anode and a cathode arranged opposite to each other. The embodiment of the present invention only adopts one pair of electrodes for illustration, and multiple pairs of electrodes may be provided, and the multiple pairs of electrodes may be arranged symmetrically in a ring.

[0032] In this embodiment, an electrode cooling module is provided on at least one electrode of the electrode pair. Of course, it is better to provide corresponding electrode cooling modules on all electrodes.

[0033] See also Figure 1 The electrode pair includes a cathode 100 and an anode 200. The cathode 100 includes a cathode thin-walled layer 110 and a cathode inlaid layer 120. The cathode thin-walled layer 110 and the cathode inlaid layer 120 are bonded together. The cathode thin-walled layer 110 is made of a material resistant to ammonia corrosion. The cathode inlaid layer 120 is made of a material with good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. A cathode hollow layer 130 is provided in the cathode thin-walled layer 110. The cathode hollow layer is the cathode cooling module. The anode 200 includes an anode thin-walled layer 210 and an anode inlaid layer 220. The anode thin-walled layer 210 and the anode inlaid layer 220 are bonded together. The anode thin-walled layer 210 is made of a material resistant to ammonia corrosion. The anode inlaid layer 220 is made of a material with good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. A cathode hollow layer 230 is provided in the anode thin-walled layer 210. The anode hollow layer 230 is the anode cooling module. Therefore, the electrode cooling module in this embodiment includes an anode cooling module and a cathode cooling module.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the interior of the electrode pair (cathode 100 and anode 200) is a cavity structure, that is, the cathode 100 and the anode 200 maintain a ventilation channel, and the air structure is the ventilation channel. A first air inlet 160 connected to the cavity structure is provided on the cathode 100, and a first cyclone 501 is provided near the first air inlet.

[0044] Correspondingly, the arc torch combustion-supporting device of the present invention is also provided with a pipeline connected to the electrode cooling channel, the solenoid cooling channel and the ventilation channel for introducing fuel or liquid ammonia. Figure 1 The first pipeline 710 is connected to the ventilation channel 170; the second pipeline 720 is connected to the second liquid ammonia inlet 240.

[0045] The first air inlet 160 and the air passage 170 allow air to flow in, so as to form a swirling gas.

[0046] The present invention generates an arc 001 by cathode and anode discharge. The arc rotates circumferentially under the action of swirling gas and magnetic field, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the cathode and anode. The high temperature generated by the arc ignites the ejected ammonia-air mixture to form a pre-combustion level flame 002.

[0047] For better, see Figure 1 An anode coating 270 is provided at the anode end of the electrode pair. The anode coating 270 partially covers the anode inlay layer 220 to prevent the anode inlay layer from being corroded by ammonia.

[0049] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is an overall schematic diagram of an ammonia burner. The ammonia burner comprises an arc torch combustion-supporting device and a fuel channel, wherein the arc torch combustion-supporting device is located at the center of the ammonia burner.

[0050] The ammonia burner also includes a sleeve arranged on the outside of the electrode pair, and a fuel channel is formed between the sleeve and the electrode pair. Fuel enters from the inlet end of the fuel channel and is ejected from the outlet end of the fuel channel, forming a main combustion stage flame under the action of the flame formed by the arc torch combustion-supporting device.

The present invention realizes the ignition and stable combustion of the ammonia burner by introducing a high-power plasma torch.

[0056] Ammonia or an ammonia-air mixture is introduced into the first fuel channel 701, which is mixed with the ammonia or gas-liquid mixture ejected from the first ammonia injection port 150, the third ammonia injection port 260, the cathode solenoid outlet 302, the anode solenoid outlet 402, the power supply cooling outlet 622, etc., and then forms a swirl through the third swirler 503, and forms a pre-combustion level flame 002 through the arc 001 generated by the arc torch; ammonia or an ammonia gas-liquid mixture is introduced into the second fuel channel 702, and forms a swirl after passing through the fourth swirler 504; air is introduced into the third fuel channel 703, and forms a swirl after passing through the fifth swirler 505, which is mixed with the ammonia or the ammonia gas-liquid mixture introduced into the second fuel channel 702, and forms a main combustion level flame 003 under the action of the pre-combustion level flame 002.
