Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a cleaning process for a gas distributor channel of a combustion chamber of a heavy-duty gas turbine, and belongs to the technical field of gas turbine equipment. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of the combustion chamber of a heavy-duty gas engine, the fuel and air need to be premixed and injected before combustion. The uniformity of the fuel mixture helps to improve the efficiency of the gas engine, reduce NOx emissions from the combustion chamber, and reduce fuel consumption. During the actual operation of the gas engine, various factors such as operating conditions, environment, fuel quality, and maintenance may cause the combustion chamber to be unstable and not fully burned, causing carbon deposits to form in the gas distribution channel. This cycle causes more and more carbon deposits on the side walls of the gas distribution channel, which may easily cause carbon deposit particles to fall and block the air outlet of the channel. Carbon deposits not only affect the efficiency of the gas engine, but may also aggravate the emission of harmful substances and pose a potential threat to the environment. Therefore, the present invention is aimed at the research on the cleaning process of the gas distributor channel of a gas turbine, which is of great significance for improving the performance of the gas engine, reducing energy consumption, and reducing pollution.
