Combusting system, remodeling method for combusting system, and fuel injection method for combusting system
View Patent ↗The present invention improves the reliability of a combusting system including multiple combustors and improves an environmental performance thereof. The invention includes a device that delays the start time of fuel injection from a fuel nozzle of a combustor including a ignitor from the start time of fuel injection from a fuel nozzle of the combustor not including the ignitor.
1. A combusting system comprising:
a plurality of combustors each including a fuel pipe that supplies fuel to a fuel nozzle, and a fuel purge system connected to the fuel pipe, wherein adjacent ones of the plurality of combustors are interconnected through a cross fire tube, and some of the plurality of combustors each include a ignitor; and
means for delaying a start time of fuel injection from the combustion nozzle of the combustor including the ignitor from fuel injection from the combustion nozzle of the combustor not including the ignitor such that a timing at injection of fuel from the fuel nozzle of the combustor with the ignitor is set to be later compare to the combustor not including the ignitor.
2. A combusting system according to claim 1 , further comprising a three-way valve provided upstream of a connection portion between the fuel pipe of and the fuel purge system of the combustor including the ignitor, wherein a tank for storing purged fuel is connected to one end of the three-way valve.
3. A combusting system according to claim 1 , wherein the fuel nozzle in each of the combustor including the ignitor and the combustor not including the ignitor is a pilot burner of a diffusion combustion type, wherein a premixer is disposed on a circumference of the pilot burner.
4. A combusting system comprising a plurality of combustors each including a fuel pipe that supplies fuel to a fuel nozzle that injects the fuel, and a fuel purge system connected to the fuel pipe, wherein adjacent ones of the plurality of combustors are interconnected through a cross fire tube, and some of the plurality of combustors each include a ignitor,
wherein a volume of a flow passage of the fuel flowing through the fuel pipe extending from a connection portion between the fuel pipe and the fuel purge system to a discharge portion that discharges purged fuel to the outside in the combustor including the ignitor is greater than the volume of a flow passage of the fuel flowing through the fuel pipe in an identical section in the combustor not including the ignitor such that a timing at injection of fuel from the fuel nozzle of the combustor with the ignitor is set to be later compare to the combustor not including the ignitor.
5. A combusting system comprising:
a plurality of combustors each including a fuel pipe that supplies fuel to a fuel nozzle, a fuel purge system that discharges the fuel residual in the fuel pipe to an outside of the fuel pipe, and a connection portion between the fuel pipe and the fuel purge system, wherein adjacent ones of the plurality of combustors are interconnected through a cross fire tube, and some of the plurality of combustors each include a ignitor; and
a flow divider that distributes fuel to a plurality of the pipes, the fuel being supplied from a fuel tank,
wherein a volume of a flow passage of the fuel flowing through the fuel pipe extending from the connection portion between the fuel pipe and the fuel purge system to a discharge portion that discharges a purged fuel to the outside in the combustor including the ignitor is greater than the volume of a flow passage of the fuel flowing through the fuel pipe in an identical section in the combustor not including the ignitor such that a timing at injection of fuel from the fuel nozzle of the combustor with the ignitor is set to be later compare to the combustor not including the ignitor.
