Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gas turbines, and in particular, to a nozzle device for adapting to the change of gaseous fuel use. In addition, the present invention also relates to a gas turbine including the above nozzle device for adapting to the change of gaseous fuel use. Background Art

[0002] The compatibility of ground gas turbines and aero-engines with multiple fuels can bring great economic benefits: ground gas turbines can select the most economical fuel according to market prices to reduce operating costs, reduce dependence on a single fuel, avoid shutdown risks caused by supply interruptions or price fluctuations, and in addition, it is suitable for areas with diverse fuel resources and improves equipment utilization; aero-engines can use multiple fuels (such as aviation kerosene, diesel, or synthetic fuels) to improve mission adaptability in specific situations (such as remote areas). In addition, when fuel supply is restricted, multi-fuel compatibility can ensure the continuous operation of the aircraft.

[0003] At present, ground gas turbines and aero-engines rarely have the function of compatible multi-fuel continuous combustion. If you want to change the fuel, you need to disassemble the ground gas turbine and aero-engine in the factory, replace the combustion components suitable for other fuels, and then assemble them. The change cycle is too long, and there are technical risks in the disassembly and assembly process, which may introduce factors that cause the deterioration of the gas turbine state. After retrieval, it is found that ground gas turbines and aero-engines rarely have the technology of compatible multi-fuels, especially for the solutions that can change fuels. Now, the technical solutions of existing gas turbines burning multi-fuels retrieved are briefly described:

[0004] Patent 1: CN206890575U, a multi-fuel nozzle, a fuel injection system, and a turbine engine thereof; the multi-fuel nozzle includes a nozzle body, and a first fuel flow channel and a second fuel flow channel are arranged in the nozzle body. In a cross-section perpendicular to the fuel flow direction, the first fuel flow channel is arranged in the middle, and a plurality of the second fuel flow channels are arranged in the circumferential direction of the first fuel flow channel. A variety of fuel flow channels are arranged in the nozzle body. According to the type of fuel and the combustion requirements of the turbine engine, the fuel can be proportionally distributed into different fuel flow channels and ejected by using a fluid distribution device, so as to meet the combustion requirements of a variety of fuels.

[0005] Patent Two: CN103930725B, an improved multi-fuel nozzle and a method for modifying a dual-fuel nozzle, which is a multi-fuel nozzle for a gas turbine. The nozzle includes: an annular body including a plurality of gas channels, all of the gas channels being circumferentially arranged around the longitudinal axis of the body; an annular fuel body placed in the annular body and including a central oil channel coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the body; an annular cooling air channel located between the annular body and the fuel body; and a discrete cooling air body including a guide member, the guide member being supported independently of the downstream end of the body and configured to radially and inwardly direct the cooling air traveling downstream in the annular cooling air channel to a directly downstream position downstream of the downstream end of the central oil channel.

[0006] 1) Patent One only provides a nozzle structure for simultaneously supplying multiple fuels to a turbine engine for combustion in a certain proportion, rather than a solution for enabling a turbine engine to still operate after changing the fuel used.

[0007] 2) Patent Two also provides a nozzle structure for simultaneously supplying multiple fuels to a turbine engine for combustion in a certain proportion. Its innovation lies in that liquid fuel is supplied in the center of the nozzle, and gaseous fuel is supplied around the center of the nozzle. The normal-temperature gaseous fuel is used to cool the high-temperature nozzle, preventing the liquid fuel from carbonizing due to high temperature at the nozzle head and affecting the nozzle performance. At the same time, the thermal stress of the nozzle is reduced to increase its service life. It is also not a solution for enabling a turbine engine to still operate after changing the fuel used.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different ways defined and covered by the following.

[0049] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a nozzle device for adapting to the use of gaseous fuels, comprising a first adapter 1, a second adapter 2, and a dual-fuel nozzle 3. The dual-fuel nozzle 3 includes an air bleed cavity 312 for connecting airflow to the engine combustion chamber, an inner flow channel 331 for directing airflow, and an outer flow channel 332 surrounding the inner flow channel 331. The injection end of the dual-fuel nozzle 3 includes a nozzle head 34, which is provided with a plurality of inner flow channel spray holes 341 communicating with the inner flow channel 331 and a plurality of outer flow channel spray holes 342 communicating with the outer flow channel 332. The dual-fuel nozzle 3 is used to adaptively select and connect the first adapter 1 or the second adapter 2 according to the type of gas fuel. Both the first adapter 1 and the second adapter 2 are provided with a fuel channel for conveying gas fuel and an air bleed channel 120 for conveying air flow. The fuel channel in the first adapter 1 is used to communicate with the outer flow channel 332, and the air bleed channel 120 in the first adapter 1 is used to connect the air bleed cavity 312 and the inner flow channel 331. The fuel channel in the second adapter 2 is used to communicate with the inner flow channel 331, and the air bleed channel 120 in the second adapter 2 is used to connect the air bleed cavity 312 and the outer flow channel 332.

[0050] The working principle of the nozzle device of the present invention is as follows:

[0051] When the first adapter 1 is installed, the fuel channel is connected to the outer flow channel 332 of the dual-fuel nozzle 3. After the gas fuel passes through the fuel channel and the outer flow channel 332 in turn, it is gathered and stabilized in the nozzle head 34 and then ejected outward through the outer flow channel nozzle hole 342 to participate in combustion; the two air flows in the engine combustion chamber enter the air induction cavity 312, and enter the inner flow channel 331 of the dual-fuel nozzle 3 through the air induction channel 120. After being gathered and stabilized in the nozzle head 34, it is ejected outward from the inner flow channel nozzle hole 341, thereby assisting combustion and cooling the nozzle device at the same time.

[0052] When the second adapter 2 is installed, the fuel channel is connected to the inner flow channel 331 of the dual-fuel nozzle 3. After the gas fuel passes through the fuel channel and the inner flow channel 331 in turn, it is gathered and pressure-stabilized in the nozzle head 34 and then ejected outward through the inner flow channel spray hole 341 to participate in combustion; the two air flows in the engine combustion chamber enter the bleed cavity 312, and enter the outer flow channel 332 of the dual-fuel nozzle 3 through the bleed channel 120. After being gathered and pressure-stabilized in the nozzle head 34, it is ejected outward from the outer flow channel spray hole 342, thereby assisting combustion and cooling the nozzle device at the same time.

[0053] The present invention relates to a nozzle device for adapting to the change of gaseous fuel used. During the design, the number of inner flow channel spray holes 341 and the layout of the inner flow channel spray holes 341 on the spraying end surface of the nozzle head 34 are correspondingly set according to the type of gaseous fuel to be circulated in the inner flow channel 331 to meet the combustion requirements, and the number of outer flow channel spray holes 342 and the layout of the outer flow channel spray holes 342 on the spraying end surface of the nozzle head 34 are correspondingly set according to the type of gaseous fuel to be circulated in the outer flow channel 332 to meet the combustion requirements. Thus, when the type of gaseous fuel is different, only by replacing the corresponding adapter to make the gaseous fuel enter the pre-set flow channel can the combustion requirements of the gas turbine be met. Since the purpose of making the gas turbine burn another gaseous fuel can be achieved only by replacing the adapter after the equipment is shut down, without the need to return to the factory to disassemble the engine body, the replacement efficiency is greatly improved, and the risks and labor intensity during the replacement process are reduced. Compared with the prior art nozzle schemes in which a variety of fuels are supplied to the turbine engine for combustion in a certain proportion, and the fuels are mostly liquid fuels with lower combustion efficiency than gaseous fuels, there is an essential difference compared with the function of the nozzle device of the present invention that can be compatible with the continuous combustion of a variety of gaseous fuels. The device of the present invention can further improve the combustion efficiency of the fuel, and can select the most economical gaseous fuel according to the market price to reduce the operating cost, reduce the dependence on a certain specific gaseous fuel, and avoid the shutdown risk caused by supply interruption or price fluctuation.

[0054] Optionally, as Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the spraying end of the nozzle head 34 has a number of regularly arranged spray holes; the outer flow channel 332 gradually transitions from an annular cavity in the nozzle head 34 to form a special-shaped and single-chamber outer flow gas cavity 343. A number of outer flow channel spray holes 342 extending along the axial direction of the nozzle head 34 are opened at the bottom of the outer flow gas cavity 343. The outer flow channel spray holes 342 communicate the outer flow gas cavity 343 with the corresponding spray holes on the spraying end of the nozzle head 34; the inner flow channel 331 first gradually transitions from a single-hole cavity in the axial direction of the nozzle head 34 to form a number of non-connected inner flow air channels 344, and then gradually transitions from the number of inner flow air channels 344 to form a special-shaped and single-chamber inner flow gas cavity 346. A number of inner flow channel spray holes 341 extending along the axial direction of the nozzle head 34 are opened at the bottom of the inner flow gas cavity 346. The inner flow channel spray holes 341 communicate the inner flow gas cavity 346 with the corresponding spray holes on the spraying end of the nozzle head 34.

[0055] In this alternative solution, the outer flow channel 332 is first an annular cavity that is annularly arranged outside the inner flow channel 331 in the air flow direction, and then gradually transitions from the annular cavity to form a special-shaped and single-chamber outer flow air cavity 343. The outer flow air cavity 343 is then connected to the corresponding nozzles at the injection end through a number of outer flow channel nozzles 342; similarly, the inner flow channel 331 is first a single-hole cavity located at the center of the outer flow channel 332 in the air flow direction, and then gradually transitions from the single-hole cavity to form a number of non-connected inner flow air channels 344. Then, the number of non-connected inner flow air channels 344 gradually transitions to form a special-shaped and single-chamber inner flow air cavity 346. Finally, the inner flow air cavity 346 is connected to the corresponding nozzles at the injection end through a number of inner flow channel nozzles 341. This design uses the single-chamber outer flow air cavity 343 and inner flow air cavity 346 to collect and stabilize the air flow respectively, so as to improve the injection uniformity and injection effect of the fuel gas and air. Moreover, this structural change of the inner flow channel 331 also helps the air flow in the outer flow channel 332 to first form a special-shaped single pressure-stabilizing cavity corresponding to the corresponding nozzles.

[0056] Preferably, as Figure 7 shown, a number of nozzles are arranged in concentric rings on the injection end face, and each concentric ring has a number of nozzles evenly spaced circumferentially, and the diameters of the nozzles on each concentric ring increase gradually in the radial direction. Moreover, the number of nozzles corresponding to the outer flow air cavity 343 and the outer flow air channel in the nozzle head 34 remains unchanged, and the number of nozzles corresponding to the inner flow air channel 344 and the inner flow air cavity 346 also remains unchanged. That is to say, the nozzle head 34 is used to distribute the fluid in the inner flow channel 331 and the outer flow channel 332 into the nozzles with a specified number and specified positions; in addition, the positions and numbers of the nozzles connected to the inner flow air cavity 346 and the outer flow air cavity 343 are different according to the type of fuel. The specific positions, aperture diameters and numbers should be obtained through combustion simulation calculations according to the type of gaseous fuel.

[0057] Optionally, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the dual-fuel nozzle 3 further includes a connection head and a nozzle pipe 33. The connection head is used for detachable connection with the first adapter 1 or the second adapter 2, and an air guide cavity 312 is provided in the adapter. The two ends of the nozzle pipe 33 are respectively connected to the connection head and the nozzle head 34, and the inner flow channel 331 and the outer flow channel 332 are arranged in the nozzle pipe 33 along the length direction of the nozzle pipe 33. In this alternative solution, as Figure 3 shown, the nozzle pipe 33 is bent, and the bending direction is the vertical backward direction of the through hole on the side wall of the air guide cavity 312.

[0058] In this alternative solution, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the connector includes a connector body 31 that is hollowly arranged with one end open and the other end closed, and mounting lugs 32 fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the connector body 31. An installation hole 321 that penetrates through is provided on the mounting lugs 32 for fixing the nozzle device. The inner cavity of the connector body 31 forms an adapter installation hole 311 and an air intake cavity 312 that are arranged in sequence along its length direction. The first adapter 1 or the second adapter 2 is inserted into the adapter installation hole 311 from the open end of the connector body 31 and then detachably connected to the dual-fuel nozzle 3. An air intake hole 313 that penetrates the wall surface is provided on the side wall of the air intake cavity 312. An inner flow channel inlet 314 that communicates with the inner flow channel 331 and an outer flow channel inlet 315 that communicates with the outer flow channel 332 are provided on the closed end of the connector body 31. In a specific embodiment of this alternative solution, as Figure 2 shown, the adapter installation hole 311 is a threaded hole structure, its outer circumferential surface is cylindrical, and a symmetric plane for anti-torsion is machined during the screwing of the adapter thread.

[0059] Preferably, since the overall structure of the dual-fuel nozzle 3 is complex, in the present invention, the dual-fuel nozzle 3 is formed by an additive manufacturing process.

[0060] Optionally, as Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, both the first adapter 1 and the second adapter 2 include an adapter body, and the adapter body is used for detachably fixing to the connector body 31. The fuel channel in the first adapter 1 includes a first fuel channel 101 formed by inwards concave extension from the top end of the adapter body, and a plurality of transfer channels 102 that communicate with the blind end of the first fuel channel 101 and extend downwards and then penetrate through the outer wall surface of the bottom end of the adapter body. The transfer channels 102 are used for communicating the first fuel channel 101 and the outer flow channel inlet 315. The air intake channel 120 in the first adapter 1 penetrates through the bottom end of the adapter body for communicating the air intake cavity 312 and the inner flow channel inlet 314, and the transfer channels 102 and the air intake channel 120 are arranged in a circumferential dislocation manner. The fuel channel in the second adapter 2 is a second fuel channel 201 that axially penetrates through the adapter body for communicating the inner flow channel inlet 314. The air intake channel 120 in the second adapter 2 penetrates through the bottom end of the adapter body for communicating the air intake cavity 3,12 and the outer flow channel inlet 315.

[0061] In this alternative solution, as Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, the number of the transfer channels 102 is multiple, and the multiple transfer channels 102 are evenly spaced along the circumference; the number of the air intake channels 120 is also multiple, and the multiple air intake channels 120 are evenly spaced along the circumference, and the multiple transfer channels 102 and the multiple air intake channels 120 are arranged in a circumferential one-to-one dislocation manner.

[0062] In this alternative solution, as Figure 8 shown, the adapter body includes an external mounting head 121, a hexagonal platform 122, a connecting column 123, an air guiding column 124, and a sealing head 125 that are sequentially connected along the axial direction. The adapter body is axially inserted into the connector body 31 so that the connecting column 123 is threadedly connected to the adapter mounting hole 311. The air guiding column 124 is arranged corresponding to the air guiding cavity 312, and the outer diameter of the air guiding column 124 is smaller than the inner diameter of the air guiding cavity 312 to form an annular air guiding groove with the air guiding cavity 312.
