Due to the difference in the physical properties of hydrogen compared to other fuels such as natural gas, well-established gas turbine combustion systems cannot be directly applied to dry low NOₓ (DLN) hydrogen combustion. The DLN micromix combustion of hydrogen has been under development for many years, since it has the promise to significantly reduce NOₓ emissions. This combustion principle for air-breathing engines is based on crossflow mixing of air and gaseous hydrogen. Air and hydrogen react in multiple miniaturized diffusion-type flames with an inherent safety against flashback and with low NOₓ emissions due to a very short residence time of the reactants in the flame region. The paper presents an advanced DLN micromix hydrogen application. The experimental and numerical study shows a combustor configuration with a significantly reduced number of enlarged fuel injectors with high-thermal power output at constant energy density. Larger fuel injectors reduce manufacturing costs, are more robust and less sensitive to fuel contamination and blockage in industrial environments. The experimental and numerical results confirm the successful application of high-energy injectors, while the DLN micromix characteristics of the design point, under part-load conditions, and under off-design operation are maintained. Atmospheric test rig data on NOₓ emissions, optical flame-structure, and combustor material temperatures are compared to numerical simulations and show good agreement. The impact of the applied scaling and design laws on the miniaturized micromix flamelets is particularly investigated numerically for the resulting flow field, the flame-structure, and NOₓ formation.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FunkeKeinzKustereretal.2015, author = {Funke, Harald and Keinz, Jan and Kusterer, K. and Haj Ayed, A. and Kazari, M. and Kitajima, J. and Horikawa, A. and Okada, K.}, title = {Experimental and Numerical Study on Optimizing the DLN Micromix Hydrogen Combustion Principle for Industrial Gas Turbine Applications}, series = {ASME Turbo Expo 2015: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition Volume 4A: Combustion, Fuels and Emissions Montreal, Quebec, Canada, June 15-19, 2015}, booktitle = {ASME Turbo Expo 2015: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition Volume 4A: Combustion, Fuels and Emissions Montreal, Quebec, Canada, June 15-19, 2015}, isbn = {978-0-7918-5668-0}, doi = {10.1115/GT2015-42043}, pages = {V04AT04A008}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{FunkeKeinzKustereretal.2017, author = {Funke, Harald and Keinz, Jan and Kusterer, K. and Haj Ayed, A. and Kazari, M. and Kitajima, J. and Horikawa, A. and Okada, K.}, title = {Development and Testing of a Low NOX Micromix Combustion Chamber for an Industrial Gas Turbine}, series = {International Journal of Gas Turbine, Propulsion and Power Systems}, volume = {9}, journal = {International Journal of Gas Turbine, Propulsion and Power Systems}, number = {1}, issn = {1882-5079}, doi = {10.38036/jgpp.9.1_27}, pages = {27 -- 36}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The Micromix combustion principle, based on cross-flow mixing of air and hydrogen, promises low emission applications in future gas turbines.

The paper gives insight into the Micromix design and scaling procedure for different energy densities and the interaction of scaling laws and key design drivers in gas turbine integration. Numerical studies, experimental testing, gas turbine integration and interface considerations are evaluated. The aerodynamic stabilization of the miniaturized flamelets and the resulting flow field, flame structure and NOx formation are analysed experimentally and numerically.
