[0002] With the increasingly strict pollution emission requirements for gas turbines in the world, the power transmission by using traditional kerosene as fuel will not be able to meet the low emission requirements. Hydrogen, as a valuable clean energy, has great potential in the future gas turbine market; therefore, it is necessary to develop a combustion chamber head injection structure suitable for pure hydrogen combustion. At present, from the mixing mode of hydrogen fuel and air, the hydrogen fuel combustion chamber head injection structure is mainly divided into two types of premixed combustion type and diffusion combustion type. Among them, the premixed type structure is mainly represented by a lean premixed injection unit, which usually includes a premixing section or a premixing cavity; and the diffusion type structure is represented by a lean direct injection unit, which usually only includes a partial transition section.

[0003] However, the existing hydrogen fuel premixed type structure generally has a high risk of backfire and spontaneous combustion; compared with the premixed type structure, the diffusion type structure itself has good anti-backfire and anti-spontaneous combustion properties and stable combustion. However, the conventional diffusion type structure usually only includes a partial transition section, and the hydrogen fuel and air are mainly mixed in the flame tube, and the short mixing time and uneven mixing are easy to cause the combustion temperature to be too high, and the thermal type nitrogen oxide emission is large. At the same time, on the basis of using hydrogen as fuel, since the hydrogen flame propagation speed is fast, the position of the backflow area will affect whether the hydrogen fuel diffusion type structure device is ablated by the flame.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0042] Based on the problems of low mixing effect of hydrogen fuel and incoming air in conventional hydrogen fuel combustion chamber head injection structure, large emission of thermal nitrogen oxides, and risk of erosion, this invention provides a diffusion type combustion chamber head injection structure, in which an inner swirler, a hydrogen fuel conveyor, and an outer swirler are arranged coaxially from the inside to the outside, respectively, to introduce air and hydrogen fuel into the flame tube for uniform mixing.

[0043] The external vortex is an annular cavity, which includes an external vortex inlet, external vortex blades, a transition section, and a convergence-expansion section in sequence along the axial direction. The convergence-expansion section consists of a convergence section and an expansion section. The convergence angle of the convergence section is 135°, the expansion angle of the expansion section is 45°, and the ratio of the axial length of the expansion section to the convergence section is not less than 1 / 2.

[0044] The inner vortex generator is a coaxially coupled structure of a blocking body and a vortex cavity; the blocking body is a cylindrical body that converges at the end, with several non-vortex holes opened along the axial direction on its end face; the vortex cavity is an annular cavity that includes an inner vortex inlet, an inner vortex blade, and an inner vortex outlet convergence section in sequence along the axial direction, and a cooling hole connecting the vortex cavity and the flame tube is provided on the convergence wall of the inner vortex outlet convergence section; wherein, the outlet surface of the non-vortex holes is flush with the throat of the convergence-expansion section of the outer vortex generator;

[0045] The hydrogen fuel delivery unit is coaxially disposed between the inner cyclone and the outer cyclone, and includes, in sequence along the axial direction, a gas supply pipe, a gas collecting ring, a gas distribution channel, a gas storage chamber, and an injection outlet hole; the gas collecting ring is an annular cavity connecting the gas supply pipe and the gas distribution channel; the gas storage chamber is an annular cavity connected downstream of the gas distribution channel, and its end is a convergence outlet section disposed opposite to the convergence section of the outer cyclone, and multiple injection outlet holes are evenly distributed circumferentially on the end face of the end, and the outlet surface of the injection outlet hole is aligned with the throat of the convergence-expansion section;

[0046] The swirling air from the outer swirler, the swirling air from the inner swirler, and the non-swirling air mix in the expansion section and the flame tube to form a detached flame to isolate the high-temperature combustion zone.

[0047] The above technical solution will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0048] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of a diffusion-type combustion chamber head injection structure includes an outer swirler 1, an inner swirler 2, and a coaxial fuel delivery device 3.

[0049] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , 3As shown, the outer swirler 1 body part is an outer swirler vane 12, preferably, the swirl angle of the outer swirler vane 12 is 40°, and the swirl direction is clockwise rotation, that is, from the flow direction of the swirl air, the blade rotation direction is the normal clockwise direction; the axial length of the outer swirler inner hub 18 is 10mm, which ensures that the light transmission principle is met, and the flow air passing through the swirler 1 is all swirl air, and no jet flow is generated; the swirler 1 and the coaxial gas storage chamber 34 are flush at the inlet surface, and the outer swirler 1 and the gas storage chamber 34 are connected by mechanical connection.

[0050] It should be noted that the rear end of the swirler vane 12 is a transition section 13, and the inner wall of the transition section 13 is uniformly equal in diameter from front to back; the swirl air passing through the swirler vane 12 adjusts the irregular rotational direction fluctuation in the transition section 13 to enter the converging-diverging section 14 at the rear end with a suitable tangential momentum; preferably, the axial length of the transition section 13 is 5mm, which is kept at 1 / 2 or more of the axial length of the swirler inner hub 18; in the converging-diverging section 14, the axial length of the converging section 15 is 5mm, the converging angle is 135°, the axial length of the diverging section 16 is 2.5mm, and the diverging angle is 45°, the axial length ratio of the diverging section 16 to the converging section 15 is kept at 1 / 2 or more, which can effectively strengthen the gas mixing.

[0051] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , 5 , 6, the inner swirler 2 body part includes an inner swirler vane 22, preferably, the swirl angle of the inner swirler vane 22 is 38°, and the swirl direction is clockwise rotation, which ensures that the swirl intensity generated by the inner swirler vane is equal to the swirl intensity generated by the outer swirler vane, and effectively controls the hydrogen fuel in the shear layer. The inner swirler inner hub 210 is a cylinder with an inner converging outlet section 27, preferably, the diameter of the inner swirler inner hub 210 is 10mm; the outlet surface 26 thereof is aligned with the throat 17 of the outer swirler converging-diverging section, that is, it is arranged at a position close to the inlet of the flame tube; a strong jet flow is formed by the non-swirl gas to effectively resist the high flame burning speed of the downstream hydrogen, thereby forming a detached flame inside the flame tube, isolating the high-temperature combustion zone from the hydrogen fuel diffusion-type injection unit structure, and effectively avoiding the ablation of the structural device; the relative installation between the inner swirler 2 and the fuel feeder 3 can be achieved by mechanical connection or integrated design; a plurality of non-swirl holes 23 of the same diameter are arranged on the inner swirler 2, the diameter of the non-swirl hole 23 is optimized to be 0.6mm, the holes are arranged in 5 circles at equal radial distances, the number of holes in the first circle is 1, the number of holes in the second, third, and fourth circles is 6, 12, 24, and 40 respectively; the radial distance between the circles is preferably 1.1mm, and the non-swirl holes 23 on each circle are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction; the effective flow area of the non-swirl holes 23 is 13.65mm 2, and the non-swirl air accounts for 6.5%-10% of the total air flow, so that the swirl air mainly enhances the gas mixing by the swirl effect, and the non-swirl air mainly injects hydrogen.

[0052] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 , 8 , 9, the inlet end of the fuel feeder 3 is a gas supply pipe 31, the diameter of the gas supply pipe 31 is optimized to be 4 mm, and the axis of the gas supply pipe 31 is parallel to the axis of the swirler 1. From the axis direction, the axis of the gas supply pipe 31 is located in the middle of the axes of any two gas supply pipes 311 in the distribution gas channel 33. The gas supply pipe 31 is connected to the gas collecting ring 32 through integrated design. The inside of the gas collecting ring 32 is a hollow cavity, and the height of the cavity is equal to the diameter of the gas supply pipe 31, so as to ensure stable delivery of hydrogen to the distribution gas channel 33 at the other end. Through optimization design, the distribution gas channel mainly consists of four gas supply pipes 311 which are axially symmetrical to each other, so as to ensure that the hydrogen enters the gas storage chamber 34 in a uniform manner. In addition, the main part of the gas storage chamber 34 is a larger hollow cavity, and the height of the cavity is greater than the inner diameter of the gas supply pipe 311, so as to further weaken the axial velocity of the hydrogen flow.

[0053] It is worth noting that, since the main part of the gas storage chamber 34 is a hollow cavity for storing hydrogen, the inner wall 38 of the gas storage chamber constitutes a flow path before the non-swirl air enters the non-swirl hole 23. Through optimization design, the effective flow area of the flow path is equal to the geometric area of the inner hub 210 of the inner swirler, which is equivalent to a circular pipe with a diameter of 10 mm, so as to as far as possible to affect the effective flow area of the non-swirl hole behind, and to ensure that the amount of non-swirl air is in a suitable proportion of 6.5%-10%. The rear end of the gas storage chamber 34 is a converging outlet section 35, the axial length of which is preferably 3 mm, and the converging angle is 135°. The converging outlet section 35 constitutes an expansion flow path for the swirl air coming out of the outer swirler 1, so as to ensure that part of the swirl air can quickly mix with the hydrogen fuel in the expansion section 16 of the converging-expansion section 14. The outlet face 310 of the gas storage chamber is arranged with injection outlets 39. By preferably selecting the injection outlets 39 as circular injection holes with a diameter of 0.5 mm, the number of injection holes is 48, and the layout presents two circumferentially uniform arrangements. The radial distance between the two circles is 1 mm. The side close to the inner swirler 2 is called the inner circle, and the side close to the outer swirler 1 is called the outer circle. The radial distance between the inner circle and the center axis of the inner swirler is 6.5 mm, which ensures that the distance between the injection outlets 39 of the inner circle and the non-swirl air flowing through the non-swirl hole 23 of the inner swirler is closer, and is conducive to fully utilizing the air entering the flame tube through the spatial layout.

[0054] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 10As shown, the plenum outlet face 310 is also aligned with the converging-diverging section throat 17, ensuring that hydrogen fuel exiting the injection outlet 39 can be rapidly mixed with the swirled air from the outer swirler 1, the swirled air from the inner swirler 2, and the non-swirled air in the diverging section 16, enhancing the mixing effect.

[0055] It is noted that the structure of the present application can be integrated with the outer swirler 1, the inner swirler 2, and the fuel feeder 3 according to the needs of the use, and is not limited to mechanical connection.

[0056] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, it is to be understood that the above-described embodiments are exemplary only, and are not to be understood as limiting the present application, and that changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application.
