Premix burner for a gas turbine
View Patent ↗A premix burner is provided for a gas turbine, in the form of a double-cone burner, which has two partial cone shells which are arranged nested one inside the other, forming air inlet ducts between them, through which combustion air from the outside flows into a conical inner space of the premix burner. Linear rows of holes of injection openings, which extend transversely to the flow direction of the combustion air, are arranged on the outer walls of the air inlet ducts and through which a gaseous fuel is injected into the combustion air which flows past transversely to them. A method for reworking such premix burners is also provided.
1. A premix burner for a gas turbine, in the form of a double-cone burner, comprising two partial cone shells arranged nested one inside the other, forming air inlet ducts between the two partial cone shells, through which outside combustion air flows into a conical inner space of the premix burner, wherein linear rows of holes of injection openings, which extend transversely to a flow direction of the combustion air, are arranged on the outer walls of the air inlet ducts and through which a gaseous fuel is injected into the combustion air which flows past transversely to the injection openings, the injection openings have a diameter ratio of a diameter of the injection opening to an effective outlet diameter of the premix burner between 0.011 and 0.015, wherein the diameter of a circle which has the same area as an outlet opening of the premix burner, which is an opening formed by the two partial cone shells at an end of the two partial cone shells opposite to the end where the gaseous fuel is injected, is defined as the effective outlet diameter of the premix burner.
2. A premix burner for a gas turbine, in the form of a double-cone burner, comprising two partial cone shells arranged nested one inside the other, forming air inlet ducts between the two partial cone shells, through which outside combustion air flows into a conical inner space of the premix burner, wherein linear rows of holes of injection openings, which extend transversely to a flow direction of the combustion air, are arranged on the outer walls of the air inlet ducts and through which a gaseous fuel is injected into the combustion air which flows past transversely to the injection openings, the injection openings have a diameter ratio of a diameter of the injection opening to an effective outlet diameter of the premix burner which is greater than 0.015 and less than 0.017, wherein the diameter of a circle which has the same area as an outlet opening of the premix burner, which is an opening formed by the two partial cone shells at an end of the two partial cone shells opposite to the end where the gaseous fuel is injected, is defined as the effective outlet diameter of the premix burner.
3. The premix burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the injection openings have in each case a ratio of a diameter of the injection opening to a height of the air inlet duct between 0.097 and 0.153.
4. The premix burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the injection openings have in each case a ratio of a sum of areas of the injection openings to an effective outlet area of the premix burner between 0.0051 and 0.0097.
5. The premix burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein all injection openings of a row of holes are equidistant and have the same diameter.
6. The premix burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a distance between adjacent injection openings of a row of holes is approximately 16 mm.
7. The premix burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the premix burner is intended for operation with natural gas as the gaseous fuel, and the injection openings have in each case a ratio of a diameter of the injection opening to a height of the air inlet ducts between 0.109 and 0.124.
8. The premix burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the premix burner is intended for operation with a gaseous fuel which has a lower calorific value than natural gas, and the injection openings have in each case a ratio of a diameter of the injection opening to a height of the air inlet ducts between 0.123 and 0.140.
9. The premix burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the premix burner is intended for operation with natural gas as the gaseous fuel, and the injection openings have in each case a ratio of a sum of areas of the injection openings to an effective outlet area of the premix burner between 0.005 and 0.008, or the premix burner is intended for operation with a gaseous fuel which has a lower calorific value than natural gas, and the injection openings have in each case a ratio of a sum of the areas of the injection opening to an effective outlet area of the premix burner between 0.007 and 0.010.
10. The premix burner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein two parallel rows of holes with injection openings which are offset in relation to each other are provided per air inlet duct in each case.
