BACKGROUND

However, the propagation characteristics of non premixed flame in porous medium are complex, the existing testing arrangement is difficult to accurately control the mixing ratio of fuel and oxidant, and lacks the synchronous monitoring means for flame form, temperature field and transient emission. In addition, the traditional combustion chamber structure is single, cannot simulate the gradient pore characteristics of porous medium in actual working condition, leading to the large deviation of experimental data and actual application. Therefore, a special testing arrangement capable of accurately regulating and controlling combustion conditions and realizing multi-parameter detection is urgently needed. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model discloses a porous medium combustor non premixed flame testing arrangement, to solve the problem that the mixing ratio of fuel and oxidant is difficult to accurately control when testing non premixed flame in the prior art, the combustion condition simulation is not true, and the flame form, temperature field and pollutant emission parameter cannot be synchronously and comprehensively monitored. In order to realize the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is described in detail as follows:

[0004] The porous medium combustor non premixed flame testing arrangement mainly includes a fuel supply system, an oxidant supply system, a combustion chamber (11), a porous medium combustor (9) and a detection system.

[0005] The combustion chamber (11) is a closed cavity, and the fuel inlet and the oxidant inlet are independently arranged in the air inlet end. The output end of the fuel supply system is connected to the fuel inlet through a fuel delivery pipeline; the output end of the oxidant supply system is connected to the oxidant inlet through an oxidant delivery pipeline. In this way, fuel and oxidant are kept isolated before entering the combustion chamber (11), are delivered through independent channels, and realize non premixing in the internal space of the combustion chamber (11).

[0006] The fuel supply system includes a fuel tank (6), a fuel booster pump (7) and a fuel delivery pipe (8). The fuel delivery pipe (8) is provided with a flow equalizer (3), a proportional regulating valve (4) and a fuel flowmeter (5) in sequence along the flow direction. The flow equalizer (3) adopts a honeycomb structure for uniform gas distribution. The end of the fuel delivery pipe (8), i.e. the outlet end, is firmly connected to the fuel inlet of the combustion chamber (11) through flange sealing connection.

[0007] The oxidant supply system comprises a blower (1), a gas preheater (2) and an oxidant delivery pipe (16). The oxidant delivery pipe (16) is sequentially provided with an oxidant flow meter (5) and a proportional regulating valve (4) along the flow direction. The gas preheater (2) is used for heating the oxidant (such as air). The end of the oxidant delivery pipe (16), i.e. the outlet end, is flexibly connected to the oxidant inlet of the combustion chamber (11) through a bellows to compensate for installation errors and thermal expansion.

[0008] The porous medium burner (9) is fixedly installed in the central region inside the combustion chamber (11). It comprises a cylindrical shell (17) and a plurality of layers of porous ceramic plates (18) stacked inside the shell (17). The porosity of the porous ceramic plates (18) is gradiently increased from 30% to 60% along the air flow direction (from the air inlet side to the air outlet side). Adjacent two layers of porous ceramic plates (18) are fixedly bonded by a high-temperature resistant adhesive to form a gradient porous medium structure as a whole.

[0009] A flame stabilizer (20) is fixedly arranged at the outlet end (i.e. the downstream end of the air flow) of the porous medium burner (9). The flame stabilizer (20) is a porous metal disc uniformly provided with a large number of through holes on the disc surface. The diameters of the through holes are in the range of 2-5 mm, belonging to the micro-hole structure, for stabilizing the flame and adjusting the flow field.

[0010] The gas outlet end of the combustion chamber (11) is connected to the detection system through an exhaust pipe for conveying the flue gas after combustion to the detection system for analysis.

[0011] The detection system comprises a high-speed camera (13), a spectral analyzer (14) and a gas sampling probe (12). The high-speed camera (13) is aimed at a quartz observation window arranged on the side wall of the combustion chamber (11) for capturing and recording the shape and dynamics of the flame. The detection end (such as an optical fiber probe) of the spectral analyzer (14) is inserted into a sampling port specially arranged on the side wall of the combustion chamber (11) for collecting the flame radiation spectrum and inverting the temperature field distribution. The gas sampling probe (12) is inserted into the gas outlet end or flue of the combustion chamber (11) for continuously extracting flue gas samples and connected to a gas analyzer or a computer (15) to realize real-time monitoring of the concentrations of pollutants such as CO and NOx.

[0012] The above precisely designed subsystems and their clear connection and cooperation relationship realize accurate simulation of non-premixed combustion conditions, active reinforcement of flame stability and synchronous and accurate detection of multi-parameter combustion characteristics.
