Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of gas turbines. It relates to a burner assembly according to the preamble of claim 1.
- FIG. 1 shows a burner assembly 10 in the form of a so-called double-cone burner, which has one of a double cone 11 enclosed swirl space 17 (for the operation of the double-cone burner, see for example the EP-A1-0 321 809 ).

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet der Gasturbinen. Sie betrifft eine Brenneranordnung gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to the field of gas turbines. It relates to a burner assembly according to the preamble of claim 1.
Der abgestufte Betrieb eines Vormischbrenners vom Typ des Doppelkegelbrenners ist in der Druckschrift
Eine in den Druckschriften beschriebene Brennerkonfiguration zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist in
Um eine gute Durchmischung des Brennstoffs mit Luft zu erreichen, muss die Eindringtiefe der Brennstoffstrahlen in den kreuzenden Luftstrom ausreichend hoch sein. Die Eindringtiefe eines Strahls in einem Querstrom hängt vom Durchmesser des Strahls und vom Verhältnis der Impulsflüsse von Strahl und Querströmung ab. Um mit einer Vielzahl von Eindüsungsöffnungen mit kleinem Durchmesser eine ausreichend Eindringtiefe zu erzielen, werden ziemlich hohe Eindüsgeschwindigkeiten benötigt. Dies führt zu speziellen Anforderungen an die Höhe des Gasdrucks für die erste Stufe.In order to achieve good mixing of the fuel with air, the penetration depth of the fuel jets into the intersecting air flow must be sufficiently high. The depth of penetration of a jet in a cross flow depends on the diameter of the jet and on the ratio of the momentum fluxes of jet and cross flow. To achieve a sufficient penetration depth with a large number of small-diameter injection orifices, quite high injection speeds are required. This leads to special requirements for the level of the gas pressure for the first stage.
Hohe Gasdrücke in der ersten Stufe stellen für die bestehende Vormischbrenneranordnung ein erhebliches Problem dar. Dadurch werden dem Einsatz von mehrstufigen Vormischbrennern in Netzen mit niedrigem Gasdruck Grenzen gesetzt. Theoretisch ist es möglich, das Problem dadurch abzuschwächen, dass der Gasdruck mittels eines zusätzlichen Verdichters erhöht wird. Jedoch werden hierdurch die Kosten für die Installation und den Betrieb deutlich erhöht. Es ist deshalb wünschenswert, eine Lösung zu finden, bei welcher die Anforderungen an den Gasdruck für die erste Stufe durch die Gestaltung des Brenners verringert werden, ohne dass die Wirkung des Brenners massgeblich beeinträchtigt wird.High gas pressures in the first stage present a significant problem for the existing premix burner assembly. This limits the use of multi-stage premix burners in low gas pressure networks. Theoretically, it is possible to mitigate the problem by increasing the gas pressure by means of an additional compressor. However, this significantly increases the costs for installation and operation. It is therefore desirable to find a solution in which the requirements for the gas pressure for the first stage by the design of the Burner can be reduced without the effect of the burner is significantly impaired.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine mehrstufige Brenneranordnung mit einem Vormischbrenner zu schaffen, bei der durch konstruktive Vorkehrungen die Anforderungen an den Druck für die erste Stufe begrenzt werden.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a multi-stage burner assembly with a premix burner, in which the requirements for the pressure for the first stage are limited by design precautions.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die Gesamtheit der Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Massgeblich für die vorgeschlagene Lösung ist, dass in der ersten Stufe der gesamte Vormischbrennstoff durch zwei gegenüberliegende Eindüsungsöffnungen mit vergrössertem Öffnungsdurchmesser in den Drallraum eingedüst wird. Durch die in einem Paar mit grossem Öffnungsdurchmesser zusammengefassten Eindüsungsöffnungen wird ein Betrieb sowohl bei Leerlauf als auch bei Volllast mit reduziertem Gasdruck ermöglicht. Die Lösung ist sehr einfach und robust und kann ohne Schwierigkeiten bei vorhanden Brenneranordnungen implementiert werden. Zusätzlich wird ein Fouling durch Schmutz reduziert.The object is solved by the entirety of the features of claim 1. The decisive factor for the proposed solution is that in the first stage, the entire premix fuel is injected into the swirl space through two opposite injection openings with an enlarged opening diameter. The injection ports combined in a pair with a large opening diameter enable operation both at idle and at full load with reduced gas pressure. The solution is very simple and robust and can be implemented without difficulty in existing burner arrangements. In addition, fouling by dirt is reduced.
Erfindungsgemäß weisen die beiden Eindüsungsöffnungen der ersten Stufe einen Durchmesser von etwa 5 mm auf und die beiden Eindüsungsöffnungen sind in Umfangrichtung um einen Winkel von etwa 65 Grad aus einer Mittelebene heraus verdreht angeordnet sind, welche parallel zur im Doppelkegel tangential einströmenden Luft orientiert ist.According to the invention, the two injection openings of the first stage have a diameter of about 5 mm and the two injection openings are arranged in the circumferential direction by an angle of about 65 degrees twisted out of a median plane, which is oriented parallel to the air flowing tangentially in the double cone.
Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Brennstofflanze soweit in den Drallraum hineinragt, dass die Spitze der Brennstofflanze etwa um einen Abstand von 135 mm vom offenen Ende des Drallraums entfernt ist, und dass die beiden Eindüsungsöffnungen in axialer Richtung in einem Abstand von etwa 115 mm von der Spitze der Brennstofflanze entfernt angeordnet sind.A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the fuel lance so far protrudes into the swirl space, that the tip of the fuel lance is removed by a distance of 135 mm from the open end of the swirl space, and that the two injection openings in the axial Direction are arranged at a distance of about 115 mm from the top of the fuel lance.
Insbesondere kann an der Spitze der Brennerlanze flüssiger Brennstoff in axialer Richtung in den Drallraum eingedüst werden, wobei der flüssige Brennstoff von einem Mantel von Abschirmluft umgeben ist.In particular, liquid fuel can be injected into the swirl space in the axial direction at the tip of the burner lance, wherein the liquid fuel is surrounded by a jacket of shielding air.
Weiterhin ist es denkbar, dass die Brennerlanze an der Spitze durch eine senkrecht zur Brennerachse stehenden Stirnfläche begrenzt ist.Furthermore, it is conceivable that the burner lance is bounded at the top by an end face perpendicular to the burner axis.
Ebenso kann die Brennerlanze an der Spitze abgerundet oder stromlinienförmig ausgebildet sein.Likewise, the burner lance may be rounded or streamlined at the top.
