Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of clean energy combustion, and particularly relates to a swirl shift multi-element micro-mixing coupled low-nitrogen combustion device for hydrogen-doped natural gas. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the popularization and practice of the green environmental protection concept, the trend of using clean low-carbon fuel to replace traditional fossil energy combustion gradually highlights. Hydrogen has the advantages of wide source, zero carbon emission, high calorific value and the like, and is a very potential carbon-free alternative fuel in gas turbines, industrial boilers and aero-engine equipment. As a new micro-mixing combustion technology for the development of next-generation high-efficiency low-carbon gas turbines, the fuel used by the micro-mixing combustion is mostly hydrogen-rich or pure hydrogen fuel. Micro-mixing combustion replaces traditional large nozzles with a large number of millimeter-level diameter micro-mixing nozzles with simplified structure, and multi-array micro-channels convert large-scale flames into multiple small flames, effectively suppressing the backfire of hydrogen and uniformly distributing the heat load, which is one of the most promising hydrogen combustion technologies and development directions at present. Due to the high cost of hydrogen production, storage and transportation, hydrogen alone cannot be used as fuel in a wider application field. Therefore, hydrogen is mixed with a large proportion of natural gas (such as natural gas with a mixing volume of more than 30% or even more) to be used as fuel, and a corresponding combustion device is provided, which becomes a research direction in the industry.
[0003] However, due to the great difference in physical and chemical properties and combustion characteristics between hydrogen and natural gas, especially the high reactivity and flame propagation speed of hydrogen, which are much higher than those of natural gas, the backfire risk is high, and there are problems of combustion instability and high thermal NOx emission. This makes it difficult for the existing pure hydrogen or hydrogen-rich micro-mixing burner structure and traditional dry lean premixed low-emission combustion technology to be applicable to hydrogen-doped natural gas fuel with a high proportion of natural gas.
[0004] Therefore, the present application proposes a new scheme to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0019] Description of the invention principle:
[0020] When using existing technologies to blend high-hydrogen natural gas fuels, current combustion devices suffer from unstable combustion and NO emissions. x To address the issue of high emissions, this invention adopts an innovative approach, proposing a combustion device that combines central-shift stable combustion technology with micro-mixing interaction. Through the stable combustion effect of the central-shift swirling diffusion flame, a stable high-temperature heat source is provided for the peripheral micro-mixing small flames. By leveraging the interaction between flames, the safe, efficient, and low-emission application of natural gas with a high proportion of hydrogen blended fuel can be achieved.
[0021] 1. The micro-hybrid combustion unit includes components such as a coaxially arranged air cooling sleeve, an independent air chamber with an air inlet, and an independent gas chamber with a gas inlet. The micro-hybrid combustion unit can be independently controlled by supplying fuel / air separately, avoiding the problem of poor uniformity caused by different processing precision and flow resistance.
[0022] 2. The micro-hybrid combustion unit adopts a multi-stage radial arrangement structure. Based on the system's thermal power requirements, the combustion power can be precisely adjusted by changing the number of micro-hybrid combustion units in each ring. Alternatively, multiple rings of micro-hybrid combustion units can be arranged in a ring around the main combustion unit, with each ring maintaining a predetermined distance from the center, forming a multi-ring distribution pattern. These two arrangements can be flexibly configured separately or simultaneously, thereby achieving graded adjustment of the combustion system's thermal power output to meet operational needs under different conditions.
[0023] 3. In the micro-mixing combustion unit, the multi-array micro-mixing nozzles and fuel nozzles are uniformly welded to a fixed disk in a honeycomb pattern, and after installation, a sufficiently long gas / air premixing section is left in the nozzles. The gas is ejected at high speed through uniformly arranged single / multi-row circumferential premixing micro-holes on the sidewall of the fuel nozzle in a cross-jet collision manner; then, it is fully mixed with the surrounding air in the premixing section through a downstream conical structure, forming an ideally uniform micro-mixed premixed jet gas at the outlet of the micro-mixing nozzle. Each independent gas chamber is equipped with a uniform perforated plate to ensure that the hydrogen-rich blended gas is fully and uniformly mixed before entering the fuel nozzle, meeting the requirement of uniform blending of the set proportion of gas.
[0024] 4. The air cooling chamber, air cooling sleeve, and independent air chamber together constitute the oxidant air chamber and flow channel of the micro-mixing premixing unit. Air first enters through the air inlet on the side wall of the independent air chamber, flowing upwards through the air cooling chamber to cool the external structure of the burner. Then, it enters the interior of each micro-mixing combustion unit through multiple rows of evenly arranged air injection holes on the side wall of the air cooling sleeve to cool the micro-mixing nozzles, preventing damage to the internal structure of the burner from the high-temperature flame. Finally, air enters the independent air chamber from top to bottom through the disc through-holes of the first fixed disc, completing an axial circulation process before entering the multi-array micro-mixing nozzles for further uniform mixing with the combustion gas. During this process, the air, acting as a combustion aid, is heated, further improving the combustion efficiency of the combustion gas.
[0025] 5. The diameter of the premixing micro-orifices on the fuel nozzle is selected to be smaller than the quenching diameter of the fuel gas (when the equivalence ratio is 1, the quenching diameters of H2 and CH4 are 0.64 mm and 2.5 mm, respectively). The diameter of the micro-mixing nozzle is calculated based on the required thermal power and considering the high reactivity of hydrogen, and is selected to be a diameter corresponding to a flow velocity much greater than the hydrogen combustion velocity (the laminar flame velocity of H2 / air under normal temperature and pressure conditions is 2.8 m / s), i.e., 3–8 mm, to ensure the burner's anti-backfire performance. Furthermore, the premixing section length is set to 25–45 mm to achieve high-intensity mixing of fuel gas and oxidant at a small scale and appropriate mixing distance.
[0026] 6. The duty combustion unit adopts diffusion combustion. Air enters through the air jacket, flows through the cyclone separator, and ignites with the gas passing through the gas pipe at the burner outlet, forming a central swirling diffusion combustion flame. This maintains a stable high-temperature environment and provides a stable ignition heat source for the surrounding multi-element micro-mixed hydrogen-rich gas units. The stable ignition and combustion of the high hydrogen-doped gas in the micro-mixed combustion unit is achieved through the interaction between the swirling entrainment and the flame.
[0027] 7. The inner wall of the central annular sleeve of the hydrocyclone has a threaded structure, facilitating the replacement of hydrocyclones with different numbers of blades and blade angles. The spacing between the multi-array nozzles is 2 to 3.5 times the nozzle diameter to ensure good interaction between the central swirling diffusion flame and the multi-array micro-mixing flame cluster under different hydrogen doping ratios. By rationally setting the annular flow area of the central air and the hydrocyclone blade angle, the air jet velocity is made 4 to 6 times that of the combustion gas, producing a significant shearing effect accompanied by an enhanced vortex structure, which is beneficial for the central control flame to swirl and entrain the surrounding smaller flames.
[0028] 8. In the micro-mixing combustion unit, the first and second fixed discs have a threaded outer wall structure while ensuring structural sealing. This allows for vertical adjustment of the distance between the premixing micro-holes and the burner outlet, and also facilitates the replacement of micro-mixing nozzles of different numbers and diameters to adapt to various operating conditions under different loads and hydrogen doping ratios.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0030] 1. The micro-mixed combustion units can be arranged radially and uniformly around the duty combustion unit. The combustion stabilization effect of the swirl duty flame solves the combustion oscillation and instability problems that often occur in large-proportion hydrogen-infused flames, achieving the dual composite effect of micro-mixed combustion technology and traditional diffusion swirl combustion. The fuel adaptability and combustion stability of the combustion device are improved.
[0031] 2. Millimeter-scale multi-array micro-mixing nozzles are arranged circumferentially on the burner outlet plane. A large number of small flames replace the traditional large flames, shortening the flame length and improving the temperature uniformity during the combustion reaction. The millimeter-scale diameter increases the jet velocity of the fuel / oxidant mixture, reducing the residence time of reactants in the high-temperature flame zone. At the same time, the premixing micropores uniformly arranged on the side wall of the nozzle allow the fuel gas and oxidant to be premixed in the micro-scale pipe. Therefore, a high-speed jet with strong mixing uniformity is formed at the burner outlet, which can effectively suppress NOx generation and reduce the risk of backfire.
[0032] 3. Each micro-hybrid combustion unit is equipped with an independent combustion chamber and air chamber; on the one hand, it realizes independent control of uniform gas distribution, thereby producing a spatially symmetrical and temperature-uniform array of micro-hybrid flame clusters; on the other hand, it improves the flexibility of gas / oxidizer air supply and avoids the impact of local component failure on the thermal power distribution of the combustion device.
[0033] 4. Make reasonable use of the structural characteristics of the combustion device and cleverly design the air cooling channel and oxidizer supply channel. After entering through the air inlet, the air flows through the air cooling chamber and then flows through multiple rows of injection holes on the side wall of the sleeve to flush the multi-array micro-mixing nozzle, which not only cools the burner head and prevents it from burning out due to high temperature, but also preheats the oxidizer.
[0034] 5. The sleeve of the cyclone is internally provided with threads, so that cyclones with different numbers of blades and blade angles can be conveniently replaced; the connection part of the honeycomb fixed disc is also designed as a threaded structure, so that the distance between the micro-mixing nozzle and the outlet of the combustor can be adjusted up and down, and different numbers and diameters of multi-array nozzles can be conveniently replaced to adapt to different thermal loads and hydrogen mixing ratios in different working conditions.

As an example, the air inlet 14 is arranged on the side wall of the air chamber fixing cavity 2, and through holes are arranged on the chamber plates of the air cooling cavity 1 and the air chamber fixing cavity 2 to communicate the air flow path.
[0052] As an example, the center distance between the standby combustion unit and each micro-combustion unit is 65-80 mm, the distance between each micro-mixing injection pipe 7 in the micro-combustion unit is 2-3.5 times the diameter of the injection pipe, the diameter of the premixed micro-hole 15 is 3-8 mm, which is smaller than the quenching diameter of the gas, and sufficient internal space is reserved in the micro-mixing injection pipe 7, specifically, the distance between the closed end of the fuel injection pipe 8 and the outlet end of the micro-mixing injection pipe 7 is 25-45 mm. Taking the standby combustion unit as the center, at least one or more rings of micro-combustion units can be uniformly arranged circumferentially; when there are multiple rings, the radial distance of the annular space where the adjacent two rings of micro-combustion units are located is 65-80 mm.
[0053] A specific example of the second part
[0054] This example is a 100kW laboratory / industrial transition scale natural gas hydrogen blending burner, the center distance between the standby combustion unit and each micro-combustion unit is 80mm, the array injection pipe in the micro-combustion unit is 19 holes, and the swirler is composed of 8 pieces of 45° spiral blades. In this burner, the swirl diffusion flame bears 10% of the heat load demand, and the six micro-combustion units together bear 90kW of heat load (each with an average of 15kW of heat power). The equivalence ratio in the example is 0.8, and the volume blending ratio of hydrogen reaches more than 85%.
[0055] The combustion device comprises air cooling cavity, air warehouse fixed cavity and gas warehouse fixed cavity arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The 19-hole multi-array micro-mixing nozzle and fuel nozzle are arranged in a honeycomb distribution between the first fixed disc and the second fixed disc, and the cooperation of the two is adjusted during installation to leave a 40-45mm gas / air premixing section in the micro-mixing nozzle. Each micro-mixing combustion unit is coaxially installed in the installation position formed by the independent air warehouse and the independent gas warehouse, and the swirl generator is located at the outlet end face of the burner by adjusting the thread rotation depth of the fixed disc.
[0056] The combustion device comprises the center air (oxidant) inlet and gas inlet of the duty combustion unit, and the mixed gas inlet and air inlet of the plurality of independently controlled micro-mixing combustion units. The center air and gas are ignited at the burner outlet through the center sleeve structure to form a swirl diffusion combustion flame, which provides a high-temperature environment and a stable ignition source for the micro-mixing array small flame cluster. The air of each micro-mixing combustion unit first enters the system through the air inlet arranged on the side wall of the independent air warehouse, then flows through the air cooling cavity, and then passes through the multiple rows of air injection holes uniformly distributed on the side wall of the air cooling sleeve to implement the flush cooling of the multi-array micro-mixing nozzle, so as to realize the effective cooling of the burner head and prevent the burning caused by high-temperature flame. Thereafter, the air is refluxed to the independent air warehouse through the disc passage, and the top-down circulation flow process is completed. Further, the hydrogen-rich gas is high-speed injected in the form of cross-jet through the premixing micro-holes arranged on the side wall of the fuel nozzle, collides with the air entering the multi-array micro-mixing nozzle, realizes small-scale high-intensity mixing in the premixing section, and the component mixing uniformity reaches 0.99.

At this time, the premixed gas is ignited by the flame of the duty combustion unit, and the obvious entrainment effect and the tendency of the flame to move to the center are observed, and finally a spatially symmetric, uniform and stable micro-mixing multi-array small flame cluster is formed, and the outlet NOx<30mg / Nm 3 . The method significantly improves the combustion efficiency and stability by optimizing the flow path and mixing mode of air and gas.
[0057] The structure size, unit quantity, power distribution, and working condition calculation can be adjusted according to actual needs through a large number of experiments of the inventor team.
