Experimental Evaluation of a Liquid-fueled, Lean-premixed Gas Turbine Combustor


Book Description

Rig testing of a lean-premixed, liquid-fueled combustor was conducted to establish the feasibility of achieving ultra-low NOx emissions at typical gas turbine operating conditions. Two different filming fuel injector concepts were evaluated. The majority of combustor testing was conducted using No. 2 diesel. The test results showed 12 and 20 ppm NOx at 6 and 9 atm, respectively. Corresponding CO levels were 50 ppm in both cases.







Experimental Evaluation of a Low Emissions, Variable Geometry, Small Gas Turbine Combustor


Book Description

The results of an on-engine evaluation of an ultra-low NOx, natural gas-fired combustor for a 200 kW gas turbine are presented. The combustor evaluated used lean-premixed combustion to reduce NOx emissions and variable geometry to extend the range over which low emissions were obtained. Test results showed that ultra-low NOx emissions could be achieved from full load down to approximately 50% load through the combination of lean-premixed combustion and variable primary zone airflow.







Gas Turbine Emissions


Book Description

The development of clean, sustainable energy systems is a preeminent issue in our time. Gas turbines will continue to be important combustion-based energy conversion devices for many decades to come, used for aircraft propulsion, ground-based power generation, and mechanical-drive applications. This book compiles the key scientific and technological knowledge associated with gas turbine emissions into a single authoritative source.




GAS Turbine Combustion, Second Edition


Book Description

This revised edition provides understanding of the basic physical, chemical, and aerodynamic processes associated with gas turbine combustion and their relevance and application to combustor performance and design. It also introduces the many new concepts for ultra-low emissions combustors, and new advances in fuel preparation and liner wall-cooling techniques for their success. It details advanced and practical approaches to combustor design for the clean burning of alternative liquid fuels derived from oil shades, tar sands, and coal. Additional topics include diffusers, combustion performance fuel injection, combustion noise, heat transfer, and emissions.
