AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing fuel nozzle and swirler assemblies face challenges in maintaining efficient combustion and preventing flame holding and flashback at higher combustion temperatures, particularly when using cleaner fuels like hydrogen.
Method used
The proposed fuel nozzle and swirler assembly incorporates a unique swirler design with radial vanes and a converging or diverging swirler passage area, along with a fuel nozzle tip positioned aft of the swirler to reduce flame holding and flashback.
Benefits of technology
This design enhances combustion efficiency, reduces flame holding and flashback occurrences, and improves the durability of the combustor by optimizing airflow velocity profiles and preventing flame attachment on the fuel nozzle and swirler components.
