초록

발전용 가스터빈에 사용되는 이중 콘형 예혼합 연소기의 성능 개선 및 검증을 위하여 기존 노즐에서 연료 분사 특성을 개선한 노즐(분사구 직경 증가, 분사구 수 감소, 총 분사면적 유지)을 이용하여 고압 및 다중화염 조건에서 실험 연구를 수행하였으며 배기가스 특성을 기존 노즐과 비교하였다. 실험 결과로는 노즐의 연료 직경을 크게 한 경우 연소용 공기로 연료의 침투 거리가 증가하기 때문에 콘 내부에서 연료와 공기의 혼합특성이 개선되어 상압뿐만 아니라 압력 상승 시 NOx 배출 농도는 감소하며 다중 화염의 경우 화염간 연소영역의 중첩이 감소하게 되어 NOx 배출은 감소하지만 화염 안정성은 저하된다. 연료 분사구를 개선한 노즐의 발전 플랜트 실증 결과는 실험 결과와 같이 기존 노즐에 비하여 NOx 농도가 낮게 배출되었다.

Combustion characteristics were examined experimentally for a swirl-stabilized double cone premixed burner nozzle used for industrial gas turbines for power generation. An original model and a variant with a different fuel injection pattern are tested to compare their combustion characteristics such as NOx, CO and stability in pressurized conditions with single burner-flame and in an ambient multi-flame conditions with multi-burners. Test results show that NOx emissions are smaller for the variant, whose number of fuel holes is reduced with the same total area of fuel holes, in ambient and pressurized single-flame conditions with single burner, which results from enhanced fuel/air mixing due to a higher penetration of fuel into the air stream. The multi-burnerflame test results show that NOx emissions are smaller for the variant due to reduced flame interactions, which, on the contrary, slightly reduces the stability margin. On-site test results fromin an actual power plants also show that NOx emissions are reduced for the variant, compared with the original one, which is in agreement with the lab test results stated above.
