Method for the reduction of combustion-driven oscillations in combustion systems and premixing burner for carrying out the method
View Patent ↗A method and a device are described for the controlled damping of combustion-driven oscillations in a turbomachine with a burner system providing at least one burner, into which is introduced, via at least one burner nozzle arranged centrally in the burner, fuel which is intermixed with combustion inflow air flowing into the burner, to form a fuel/air mixture which is ignited in a combustion chamber following the burner system. The invention is distinguished in that the fuel nozzle is designed in the form of a burner lance, at the lance end of which fuel discharge into the burner takes place, and in that the burner lance projects into the burner in the amount of at least one third of the axial burner length.
1. A premixing burner for the reduction of combustion-driven oscillations within a combustion system, in particular a combustion chamber of a turbomachine, essentially comprising a swirl generator consisting of two semimonocoque conically widening part bodies which are arranged axially parallel, and offset to one another, in such a way that they form tangential gaps in two overlap regions located mirror-symmetrically opposite one another, said gaps serving as inlet ducts for the combustion air into the burner interior, furthermore comprising at least one central fuel nozzle within the interior enclosed by the part bodies, wherein the central fuel nozzle is designed in the form of a coaxially oriented burner lance and projects into the burner interior up to at least one third of the axial length of the latter, and the burner lance is equipped, at least in its downstream end region, with means for the discharge of at least one fluid into the burner interior;
wherein the burner lance terminates in a range of between 60% and 80% of the axial length of the burner interior.
2. The premixing burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lance is designed essentially cylindrically.
3. The premixing burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lance has a widening cross section at least in its downstream end region.
4. The premixing burner as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the lance has an end region widening conically in the flow direction.
5. The premixing burner as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the lance has an end region widening in a star-shaped manner in the flow direction.
6. The premixing burner as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the lance has in its end region a plate oriented perpendicularly to the flow direction.
7. The premixing burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the end region of the burner lance is equipped with fuel outlet orifices.
8. The premixing burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the end region of the burner lance is equipped with outlet orifices for fuel and combustion air.
9. The premixing burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the casing of the burner lance is equipped with outlet orifices for fuel.
