Definitions
- the invention relates to a lean burn burner of a gas turbine engine according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention relates to a lean burn burner of a gas turbine engine having an annular central body substantially concentric with a burner central axis which has an annular duct connected to a supply duct and at least one of a film layer flared at a fuel exit side in its radially inward facing region a connected to the annular channel fuel outlet opens.
- Combustion chambers of gas turbine engines can be equipped with lean burn burners to burn in the combustion chamber, a fuel-air mixture with high air content and low combustion temperature and correspondingly reduced nitrogen oxide formation.
- lean burn burners to burn in the combustion chamber, a fuel-air mixture with high air content and low combustion temperature and correspondingly reduced nitrogen oxide formation.
- Such burners can, as in the EP 1 801 504 described, with an annular atomizer lip having a circumferential fuel film. On the film laying surface is - evenly distributed on this opening feed channels - applied a steady fuel film, which is acted upon by a concentric, swirled by swirl elements air flow. In this way, a high atomization effect and an intensive mixing of air and fuel can be achieved.
- the invention has the object of providing a lean burn burner of the type mentioned in such a way that on the Filmlege Design a stable, evenly distributed fuel film is produced, which breaks off evenly at the trailing edge and forms a fine droplet mist to quiet and uniform combustion at low temperature , to ensure low nitrogen oxide formation and good burnout.
- the film applicator adjacent to the fuel outlet openings, at the area facing the fuel outlet side comprises a step-like, annular projection area pointing radially to the burner center axis.
- This projection region may be annular, so that there is a step in the flow, which flows along the film depositor at its fuel outlet side, where the fuel is discharged.
- the flow along the surface is influenced so that at this positive stage or this positive projection results in an acceleration of the air flow, so that the fuel comes into contact with air flow areas with increased speed.
- This results in more favorable boundary layer effects which lead to a more uniform and stable fuel distribution.
- This results according to the invention thus a more homogeneous fuel input and a improved premix.
- the invention makes it possible, with increasing diameters of film layers and low fuel mass flows, to apply a continuous fuel film to the film-laying surface.
- the resulting better combustion through the burner results in particular at medium thrust settings of the gas turbine engine considerable advantages.
- the projecting region is likewise conical and thus preferably has the same cone angle as the remaining conical region of the film applicator upstream of the projecting region.
- the step-like projection area is rounded.
- the fuel emerging from the fuel outlet opening is thus guided smoothly around the rounded edge of the projection area. This in turn favors film education and downstream atomization.
- the surface of the film applicator arranged downstream of the burner outlet opening is provided with a roughened surface.
- This roughened surface may be formed by sandblasted areas, by introduced recesses, by grooves or by grooves.
- the roughened surface results in an improved contact angle for liquid drops applied to the surface.
- the wettability of the surface is thus improved, since more favorable surface tensions result, which are related to the contact angle via the Young's equation and thus make it a measure of the wettability.
- the smaller the contact angle the greater the wettability of the surface of the film layer by the fuel. Thanks to these measures, channel formation is counteracted and a continuous fuel film is made possible.
- the in Fig. 1 Magervormischbrenner shown has a burner center axis 1, to which the components are arranged substantially concentric.
- the lean burn burner has a support burner 11, which is formed according to the prior art and which is supplied with fuel through a fuel line 12.
- the support burner 11 is surrounded by swirl elements 13, as is known from the prior art.
- a flame stabilizer 14 is provided, which is also formed according to the prior art, so that can be dispensed with a detailed description at this point.
- Radially outside the flame stabilizer 14, at least one swirl element 15 is likewise arranged.
- the lean burn burner according to the invention has an annular central body 2, in which a supply line 3 for fuel is formed.
- the supply line 3 opens into an annular channel 4 through which Fuel can escape through at least one fuel outlet opening 6 (see also Fig. 3 ).
- the annular central body 2 forms a film layer 5, which is conical and widens radially outward in the flow direction. Radially pointing inwards, a film-laying surface is formed on the film-laying member 5, which ends in the axial direction at a sputtering lip 16.
- At least one swirl element 17 is arranged, which is bounded radially outside by an outer ring 18.
- a projection region 7 is formed adjacent to the fuel outlet opening 6 on the film layer 5 (see FIG Fig. 2 and 3 ).
- This projection region 7 thus forms at its Anström Scheme, adjacent to the fuel outlet opening 6, rounded stage through which an acceleration of the flow takes place, as indicated by the flow arrows in Fig. 2 is shown.
- the projection region 7 thus forms part of a fuel exit side 8 of the film layer 5.
- the projection region 7 is also conical, as is the case in particular from FIGS Fig. 2 and 3 results.
- the conicity is formed with the same cone angle as the conicity of the fuel exit side 8 of the film layer 5.
- an offset 19 is formed, which leads to a reduced diameter.
- the Anström Scheme 20 of the formed by the projection portion 7 edge or step is rounded, so that there is an optimized flow.
- the Fig. 3 Fig. 11 also shows a cone angle 21 of the projecting portion 7 which is equal to the cone angle upstream of the fuel outlets.
- the Fig. 5 shows a modified embodiment, in which downstream of the fuel outlet openings, an additional groove 10 or groove is formed, which is arranged in a plane perpendicular to the burner central axis 1 level and leads to a further fuel film stabilization.
- the Fig. 6 shows an enlarged detail of the representation of Fig. 5 ,
- the reference numeral 22 shows the groove depth, measured perpendicular to the surface.
- Reference numeral 23 denotes the flank angle of the groove 10.
- the Fig. 4 shows in the right side of an inventively designed surface 9 of the film layer 5, while in the left half of the Fig. 4 a smooth, the prior art corresponding surface is shown.
- the Fig. 5 shows that by roughening the surface 9, an optimized contact angle 24 can be achieved, which leads to a better wetting of the surface of the film layer 5 with fuel. This is a measure which considerably increases the effect of the projection area 7, since the fuel emerging from the burner outlet opening and guided over the rounded edge of the onflow area 20 of the projection area 7 can be guided in a more uniform, thin layer along the surface 9 of the film layer 5 without that it comes to clot currents.
