DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present application can be implemented in various different ways as defined and covered below.
[0024] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present application can be implemented in various different ways as defined and covered below. Figures 1-2 The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present application can be implemented in various different ways as defined and covered below.
[0025] Reference will be made to Figure 1This embodiment provides a localized rich-fuel flameout device for the ignition and stable combustion process of an aero-engine combustor. It aims to solve the problems of ignition difficulties, flame instability, and high flameout risk caused by the low overall air-fuel ratio in existing combustors during ignition or low operating conditions. By actively forming a localized rich-fuel zone 10 near the igniter 4, ignition energy can quickly establish a flame core within the rich-fuel gas mass, thereby achieving reliable ignition and continuous stable combustion.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the localized rich fuel point quenching device is integrally installed between the outer casing 5 and the outer ring 6 of the flame tube in the combustion chamber of the aero-engine, arranged circumferentially on both sides of the ignition nozzle 4. The device includes two identical fuel-air generators 8, arranged symmetrically opposite each other, with their injection paths opposing each other in the downstream region of the ignition nozzle 4, converging to form a localized rich fuel mixing zone. The ignition nozzle 4 is located in the middle of the combustion zone between the inner ring 7 and the outer ring of the flame tube, and is used to provide an ignition source.
[0027] Each fuel-air generator 8 is fixed to the outer casing 5 by a mounting base connected to a fuel supply line for supplying metered fuel to the nozzle 12. A cooling shroud 13 is installed around the nozzle 12, and the cooling shroud 13 is connected to the outer annular channel of the combustion chamber to introduce some air. After entering through the air inlet 11 inside the cooling shroud 13, the air flows along the outer wall of the nozzle 12 and forms a mixing zone with the fuel jet ejected from the nozzle 12 near the nozzle 12 outlet. The injection directions of the two fuel-air generators 8 are symmetrical about the axis of the ignition nozzle 4, and the jets collide downstream of the ignition nozzle 4, forming a highly turbulent mixing zone. The fuel-air equivalent in this mixing zone is relatively high, constituting a locally rich fuel zone 10 in the early stage of combustion. When the ignition nozzle 4 discharges and generates a spark, the mixture in the rich fuel zone is more easily ignited, and the flame can burn rapidly and stably in this area. As combustion continues, the flame core gradually expands towards the main combustion zone 9, forming a smooth flame propagation path. Through this symmetrical arrangement and aerodynamic design, this device can provide stable local rich fuel ignition conditions under low operating conditions, significantly improving the ignition reliability and anti-quench capability of the combustion chamber, and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the engine under different altitudes, ambient temperatures and acceleration / deceleration conditions.
[0028] Each fuel-air generator 8 consists of a nozzle 12 and a cooling shroud 13 surrounding the nozzle 12. The nozzle 12 is connected to a fuel supply line via an internal channel for injecting metered fuel into the combustion zone. The cooling shroud 13 is fitted over the nozzle 12 and communicates with an outer annular channel of the combustion chamber to introduce a portion of cooling air. This air forms a controlled airflow inside the cooling shroud 13, interacting with the fuel injected from the nozzle 12 to generate a stable fuel-air mixture zone in the nozzle 12 outlet region.
[0029] The outlet end of the nozzle 12 extends out of the air outlet hole of the cooling cover 13, and an annular gap is formed between the outer wall of the nozzle 12 and the inner wall of the air outlet hole of the cooling cover 13. The width of the annular gap is designed to be 1-3 mm, which can not only ensure sufficient air flow, but also make the air flow form a high flow rate at the outer wall of the nozzle 12, thereby generating a significant shearing effect in the outlet area. The inlet air enters through the inlet hole 11 in the cooling cover 13 and flows along the outer wall of the nozzle 12, and is sprayed out at high speed through the annular gap, and meets and mixes with the fuel jet sprayed out of the nozzle 12 near the outlet. Due to the fact that the air flow speed is much higher than the fuel jet speed, a strong turbulent shear zone is formed at the intersection of the two fluids, which further breaks up the fuel droplets and rapidly vaporizes them, forming fine and uniform oil-gas mixture clusters.
[0030] When the two oil-gas generators 8 work simultaneously, their jet flows collide with each other in the downstream direction of the ignition nozzle 4, and form a local rich oil mixture core in the intersection area. The oil-gas concentration in this core area is high, and the turbulent intensity is strong, which can be ignited rapidly under the action of the spark generated by the ignition nozzle 4 and form a stable flame. The flame mainly burns stably in the local rich oil area 10 at the beginning of combustion, and then gradually expands to the surrounding main combustion area 9, realizing the stable propagation of the flame.
[0031] The cooling cover 13 not only plays the role of air guiding and mixing, but also bears the cooling and protection functions of the nozzle 12. The cooling cover 13 is in a cylindrical structure, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the nozzle 12, and its inner cavity is communicated with the outer ring channel of the combustion chamber for introducing the outer ring cold air.
[0032] The cooling cover 13 is circumferentially distributed with a plurality of inlet holes 11, which are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction and have a certain tangential bias angle relative to the radial direction. Through the design of the tangential bias angle, the air entering the cooling cover 13 no longer flows in a straight line along the radial direction when entering the inner cavity, but has a significant tangential velocity component, thereby forming a rotating flow field, i.e. a rotational flow field, inside the cooling cover 13. The existence of the rotational flow makes the air in the cooling cover 13 generate angular momentum in a short distance, and the air forms a spiral flow trajectory along the inner wall and forms an annular rotating air layer around the outer wall of the nozzle 12.
[0033] The setting of the tangential bias angle can significantly improve the momentum distribution of the incoming air. When the bias angle is small, the rotational angular velocity of the air flow is low, and the air flow is mainly axial, which is stable and has good cooling effect, but the mixing enhancement effect is limited. When the bias angle is large, the rotational angular velocity of the air in the cooling cover 13 increases significantly, which can generate stronger centrifugal force and radial pressure gradient, so that the air flow forms a high-intensity rotational flow field at the outlet of the nozzle 12. It is preferred that the tangential bias angle is 10-20°, which can ensure that the air forms a clear rotational flow structure at the outlet of the nozzle 12, and will not cause flow field instability or energy loss due to too high rotational speed.
[0034] The swirling air is guided by the conical surface of the nozzle 12, and its velocity is gradually increased and compressed near the nozzle 12 outlet. Then, the air is ejected at high speed through the annular gap between the nozzle 12 and the cooling shroud 13. Since the air flow has a strong rotational momentum before being ejected, the air flow out of the annular gap forms a high-speed annular swirling jet. When the swirling jet meets the fuel jet ejected from the center of the nozzle 12, there is a large velocity gradient and direction difference between the two, resulting in a clear shear layer at the interface. This shear layer becomes the starting point for the development of turbulent flow, rapidly transforming the gas flow into a strong turbulent state, promoting the secondary breakup and uniform dispersion of fuel droplets.
[0035] In addition, the vortex structure formed by the swirling jet near the outlet can significantly increase the residence time of the air at the nozzle 12 outlet, improve the mutual contact area and mixing efficiency of the air and the fuel. The centrifugal force brought by the swirling jet also throws part of the fuel droplets to the outer edge, forming an oil and gas layer with gradually changing equivalence ratio near the annular gap, making the local rich oil area 10 more smooth and stable.
[0036] The lower end of the cooling shroud 13 is provided with a guide slope 14 inclined towards the combustion area, forming a flow guide channel between the nozzle 12 outlet and the guide slope 14. Through this channel, the cooling air is guided to flow along the outer wall of the nozzle 12 and converge towards the combustion area, not only effectively cooling the end of the nozzle 12 and the surrounding wall, but also keeping the air injection direction at a certain angle with the fuel jet direction, promoting the formation of strong shear and mixing of the two fluids at the entrance of the combustion area, thereby further strengthening the local oil and gas mixing effect. The guide slope 14 can also form a certain aerodynamic damping, preventing the backflow of high-temperature gas in the combustion area into the inside of the cooling shroud 13, and playing a protection role against backflow.
[0037] The top of the cooling shroud 13 adopts a folded edge structure that is folded outward, cooperating with the annular compression boss of the upper segment of the nozzle 12. The compression boss is pressed against the folded edge through threaded connection or snap ring locking structure, forming a reliable air-tight contact surface. This structure not only ensures the stable fixation of the cooling shroud 13 in the high-temperature combustion environment, but also allows for certain thermal expansion and contraction compensation, preventing loosening or cracking due to thermal stress. High-temperature resistant sealing gaskets are provided at the folded edge compression position, which can further ensure the sealing and structural safety.
[0038] The outlet section of the nozzle 12 is designed as a tapered cone structure, while the outlet of the cooling cover 13 is a cylindrical straight mouth. The two form an expanding annular gap with gradually increasing cross-sectional area along the direction of the airflow. As the airflow passes through the tapered cone and enters the expanding annular gap, its speed gradually decreases and the pressure rises, forming a velocity gradient that is conducive to the secondary atomization of fuel and the rectification of airflow, thereby strengthening the shearing and breaking and preventing the flame from flowing back to the end face of the nozzle 12. The annular gap between the outer wall of the nozzle 12 and the inner wall of the outlet of the cooling cover 13 can be adjusted and matched according to the air supply pressure and fuel injection rate, and the preferred range is 1-3 mm. When the gap is small, the airflow speed increases and the shearing effect is enhanced, which is suitable for ignition conditions under high altitude or low temperature conditions; when the gap is large, the air flow increases, which can enhance the cooling effect of the nozzle 12 and improve the stable combustion performance under high working conditions.
[0039] In order to further improve the airflow organization, an annular flow guide step 15 is arranged at the upstream position of the outlet section of the nozzle 12, which is arranged in a spaced manner with the guide slope 14 of the cooling cover 13. The flow guide step 15 can change the direction of the airflow, so that the annular gap airflow forms a wall-adhering gas film on the outer wall of the nozzle 12, which can cool the nozzle 12 and inhibit the high-temperature gas in the backflow area from eroding the outer wall of the nozzle 12. The existence of the gas film can also stabilize the airflow field in the annular gap, reduce the unevenness of the spray and the risk of carbon deposition.
[0040] The included angle between the injection axes of the two oil and gas generators 8 is an important parameter that determines the shape and mixing intensity of the local fuel-rich area 10. In this embodiment, the included angle is designed to be in the range of 90°-150°, and is preferably about 120°. This angle directly affects the intersection position, intersection intensity and local turbulent structure of the two oil and gas injection streams in the downstream area of the ignition nozzle 4, thereby having a significant effect on fuel atomization, the formation of the fuel-rich area and flame stability.
[0041] When the included angle is small, the relative velocity component of the two injection streams is large, and the impingement effect is the strongest, and the intersection point is close to the center of the downstream area of the ignition nozzle 4. At this time, the airflow shearing intensity is high, the turbulent energy is concentrated, and a strong vortex structure can be formed, which is beneficial to the further breaking and rapid mixing of fuel, and a high-concentration local fuel-rich area 10 can be formed in a short time, thereby achieving rapid ignition. However, too small an included angle can also lead to excessive concentration of the injection stream, strong local airflow impact, and a small fuel-rich area, which is easy to produce a high-temperature hot spot after ignition, affecting the uniform propagation of the flame. When the included angle is large, the two injection streams tend to be parallel, the impingement effect is weakened, and the intersection area is farther away from the ignition nozzle 4. At this time, the mixing area of fuel and air is wider, the fuel-rich area is expanded and uniformly distributed, and the flame envelope is smoother, which is beneficial to stable combustion under low working conditions. However, too large an included angle will make the fuel-rich area too far away from the ignition nozzle 4, and the ignition spark will not be able to effectively couple with the fuel-rich mixture, thereby reducing the ignition reliability.
[0042] The selection of the included angle also needs to comprehensively consider factors such as the structure size of the combustion chamber, the fuel supply pressure, the inlet flow of the outer ring, and the flow direction at the inlet of the main combustion zone 9. For the arrangement in which the combustion zone is narrow and the ignition nozzle 4 is close to the center of the flame tube, a smaller included angle can be used to enhance the impinging turbulent flow; and for the combustion chamber in which the combustion zone is wide and the main flow velocity is high, a larger included angle is preferably selected to expand the rich fuel area and enhance the flame coverage. Therefore, the included angle of about 120° is selected as the comprehensive optimization value in this embodiment, which not only ensures the strength of the impinging turbulent flow, but also maintains the geometric alignment relationship between the rich fuel area and the flame passage of the ignition nozzle 4, so that the spark energy can be directly coupled to the local rich fuel core area. This design can quickly establish a stable flame core during the ignition stage, and can maintain a relatively wide combustion area during the low working condition stable combustion stage, thereby realizing the dual optimization of ignition reliability and combustion stability.
[0043] To ensure the symmetrical injection and stable impinging effect, the ignition nozzle 4 and the two oil-gas generators 8 are arranged in the same radial section of the combustion chamber. That is, in the vertical section along the engine axis, the ignition nozzle 4 is located in the middle, and the two oil-gas generators 8 are respectively located on the left and right sides thereof and are symmetrically arranged between the outer ring 6 of the flame tube and the outer casing 5. Such an arrangement enables the two injection flows to impinge accurately in the downstream direction of the ignition nozzle 4, forms a stable local rich fuel area 10, and ensures that the flame is spatially aligned with the center of the ignition energy.
[0044] To adapt to different combustion chamber structures and working condition requirements, in one embodiment, an eccentric sleeve type adjusting structure is used between the mounting base and the outer casing 5. An eccentric sleeve is embedded in the mounting hole, and the oil-gas generator 8 can be axially slightly displaced by rotating the sleeve. This structure is compact and resistant to high temperature, and is suitable for combustion chamber arrangements with limited space. Through the above adjustable mechanism, the axial distance of the oil-gas generator 8 relative to the ignition nozzle 4 can be adjusted. When the axial relative position of the oil-gas generator 8 and the ignition nozzle 4 is changed, the intersection point position of the two injection flows downstream of the ignition nozzle 4 also changes, thereby the spatial distribution of the local rich fuel area 10 can be controlled. For example, in the ground ignition working condition, the axial distance can be appropriately increased to make the intersection point close to the ignition nozzle 4, so as to improve the coupling efficiency of the ignition energy; in the high-altitude re-ignition or stable combustion working condition, the distance can be appropriately reduced to make the rich fuel area extend downstream, prevent flame backflow, and enhance the stability of the main combustion zone 9.
[0045] The embodiment also discloses an aero-engine combustion chamber, which mainly comprises an outer casing 5, an outer ring 6 of a flame tube, and an inner ring 7 of the flame tube. The annular combustion zone is formed between the outer ring 6 of the flame tube and the inner ring, which is the main space for mixing and burning fuel and air. The outer casing 5 and the outer ring 6 of the flame tube form an outer ring passage, which is used for introducing cooling air and providing a gas source for various auxiliary devices.
[0046] The local rich oil point flameout device is installed between the outer casing 5 and the flame tube outer ring 6, the ignition nozzle 4 is arranged at the middle position of the combustion zone, and the two oil and gas generators 8 are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of the ignition nozzle 4 and located in the same radial section. The oil and gas generator 8 is fixed on the outer casing 5 through the mounting seat, and the spraying direction is towards the combustion zone and slightly inclined to the downstream direction of the ignition nozzle 4. The spraying paths of the two oil and gas generators 8 are opposite and collide, and a high-turbulence oil and gas mixed intersection area is formed in the combustion zone downstream of the ignition nozzle 4. The intersection area is the local rich oil area 10, and the equivalence ratio distribution is higher than that of the main combustion zone 9, which can provide a rich oil fuel environment for the flame at the initial ignition stage.
[0047] The implementation principle of the local rich oil point flameout device in the embodiment of the application is as follows: when the engine is in the ignition or low-power operating condition, the overall air flow of the combustion chamber is small, and the fuel sprayed by the traditional main nozzle 121 is easily diluted, which leads to a low local oil and gas ratio, thereby causing ignition difficulty or unstable flame. In the embodiment, the symmetric oil and gas generators 8 are arranged on the two sides of the ignition nozzle 4, so that the air and the fuel are mixed in advance at the outlet of the nozzle 12, and a local rich oil area 10 with a high equivalence ratio is formed in the downstream area of the ignition nozzle 4, thereby providing an ideal fuel environment for the establishment and maintenance of the flame.
[0048] Specifically, the fuel enters the oil and gas generator 8 nozzle 12 through the fuel supply pipeline, and the fuel jet sprayed by the nozzle 12 meets the air introduced through the air inlet hole 11 in the inside of the cooling cover 13 at the outlet of the nozzle 12. The air is sprayed at high speed along the outer wall of the nozzle 12 through the annular gap, and under the shearing action, the fuel is further atomized. The multiple air inlet holes 11 of the cooling cover 13 are provided with a tangential bias angle, so that the entering air forms a rotational flow in the cover, and the rotational flow and the fuel jet interact to generate a vortex mixing field with a shear layer near the outlet of the nozzle 12. The mixing field enhances the uniformity of the oil and gas distribution, and forms high-concentration mixed gas clusters on the two sides of the ignition nozzle 4.
[0049] The spraying paths of the two oil and gas generators 8 are opposite and collide along the two sides of the ignition nozzle 4, and the intersection is located in the combustion zone downstream of the ignition nozzle 4. The mutual collision of the colliding air flows produces strong turbulence, further refines the fuel droplets, and forms a stable rich oil mixed core. When the ignition nozzle 4 generates a spark, the mixed gas in the local rich oil area 10 is quickly ignited and forms a stable flame core in a short time. The flame core is kept stable by the surrounding effect of the colliding air flow and the rotational flow and is not easy to be blown out by the main air flow. With the continuous combustion, the flame core gradually expands to the main combustion zone 9, establishes a stable flame propagation channel, and realizes the natural transition from the ignition stage to the normal combustion stage.
[0050] In addition, the guide channel formed between the guide slope 14 of the cooling cover 13 and the outlet of the nozzle 12 enables the air to flow along the outer wall of the nozzle 12 and form a cooling air film, which not only prevents the flame from flowing back to the end of the nozzle 12, but also continuously removes the attached carbon particles, thereby improving the anti-coking performance and service life of the device. Through the above structure and flow organization, the present embodiment realizes active regulation of the local oil-gas ratio, significantly improving the ignition success rate and stable combustion reliability of the combustion chamber under low working conditions.
[0051] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
