Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas turbine ignition systems, and specifically relates to a combined sealed ignition nozzle. Background Technology
[0002] The ignition nozzle is a crucial component of a gas turbine, used to convert high-voltage pulse electricity into an electric spark to ignite fuel within the combustion chamber. Mounted on the engine casing, the nozzle's end is located within the combustion chamber and operates under high temperatures for extended periods. Current ignition nozzles typically employ a single-seal structure—either glass-sealed or ceramic-metallized brazed—to achieve a seal between the central conductor and the housing. However, this seal is prone to failure after prolonged operation at high temperatures. Summary of the Invention

The glass sealing assembly includes: an igniter 1, a first insulating tube 2, a fixing nut 3, a sealing glass 4, a second insulating tube 5, a center electrode 6, and a bushing 7. The brazing sealing assembly includes a housing 8, a sealing wire 9, a third insulating tube 10, and a sealing sleeve 11.
[0006] The first insulating tube 2, the fixing nut 3, the sealing glass 4, the second insulating tube 5, and the bushing 7 are sequentially fitted onto the central electrode 6. The first insulating tube 2 is placed inside the ignition nozzle 1, with the front conical surface of the first insulating tube 2 in contact with the inner conical surface of the ignition nozzle 1. The first insulating tube 2 is fixed by the fixing nut 3. One end of the bushing 7 is in contact with the second insulating tube 5, and the other end of the bushing 7 is welded and fixed to the central electrode 6 to form a glass sealing assembly.
[0007] The sealing sleeve 11 is fitted onto the third insulating tube 10. The sealing sleeve 11 and the third insulating tube 10 are brazed to seal their circumferential mating surfaces by the step limit of the third insulating tube 10. The sealing wire 9 overlaps in the inner hole of the third insulating tube 10, and the overlapping surface is brazed to seal. The sealing sleeve 11 and the housing 8 are welded to form a brazed sealing assembly. The igniter 1 and the housing 8 are fixed by welding, and the end face of the sealing wire 9 and the end face of the center electrode 6 are welded to achieve a combined sealing structure of glass sealing and brazed sealing.
[0008] Furthermore, the sealing glass 4 is sintered at a high temperature of 960℃ and bonded to the igniter 1 and the central electrode 6 to achieve a seal; the sealing glass 4 is DM-308 glass, which can ensure good airtightness in an environment with a high temperature of 800℃ and a high pressure of 3Mpa.
[0009] Furthermore, the third insulating tube 10 is made of alumina ceramic material, and a metallized coating is provided on the outer surface of the junction of the third insulating tube 10 with the sealing sleeve 11 and the sealing wire 9.
[0010] Furthermore, the circumferential mating surfaces of the sealing sleeve 11 and the third insulating tube 10 are welded by placing a strip of solder, and the overlapping surfaces of the sealing wire 9 and the third insulating tube 10 are welded by placing an annular solder; the solder is a palladium-nickel alloy strip.
[0011] Furthermore, the brazing sealing assembly is welded at a temperature of 1300℃, and after welding, the brazing sealing assembly can guarantee reliable airtightness in an environment with a high temperature of 1000℃ and a high pressure of 3MPa.
[0012] Furthermore, the glass sealing assembly and the brazing sealing assembly are connected in series. The glass sealing assembly is placed in the combustion chamber and serves as the first seal. When the airtightness of the glass sealing assembly fails, the brazing sealing assembly acts as the second seal, ensuring the efficient sealing of the ignition nozzle.
