Description

Technical Field

[0002] As an efficient, zero-carbon clean fuel, hydrogen can be mixed with natural gas to replace traditional carbon-based fuels to reduce carbon; currently, the use of hydrogen and natural gas is mainly small-proportion mixing, and the mixing effect is not ideal. This is because: on the one hand, the combustion characteristics of hydrogen fuel are significantly different from natural gas. It has high reactivity, diffusivity, flame propagation speed and low ignition delay time, which can strongly affect the heat release response and combustion stability of carbon-based flames. The use of existing lean premixing, diffusion and other combustion methods is prone to flashback of hydrogen-mixed fuels and unstable combustion. On the other hand, the adiabatic flame temperature of hydrogen is higher than that of methane, which is easy to cause high thermal NOx emissions, and the local "hot spot" effect caused by uneven fuel mixing can further aggravate NOx generation; in addition, the current hydrogen and natural gas mixing devices such as heat storage combustion, micro-mixed combustion, and full premixed combustion are limited by structural layout, the burner power is small, it is difficult to scale up, and the scope of use is limited.
