Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) has research and development projects for future hydrogen society; production of hydrogen gas, refinement and liquefaction for transportation and storage, and utilization with gas turbine / gas engine for the generation of electricity. In the development of hydrogen gas turbines, a key technology is the stable and low NOx hydrogen combustion, especially Dry Low Emission (DLE) or Dry Low NOx (DLN) hydrogen combustion. Due to the large 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 for DLE hydrogen combustion. Thus, the development of DLE hydrogen combustion technologies is an essential and challenging task for the future of hydrogen fueled gas turbines. The DLE Micro-Mix combustion principle for hydrogen fuel has been in development for many years to significantly reduce NOx emissions. This combustion principle is based on cross-flow mixing of air and gaseous hydrogen which reacts in multiple miniaturized "diffusion-type" flames.

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} } @article{FunkeBoernerKrebsetal.2011, author = {Funke, Harald and B{\"o}rner, Sebastian and Krebs, W. and Wolf, E.}, title = {Experimental Characterization of Low NOx Micromix Prototype Combustors for Industrial Gas Turbine Applications}, series = {ASME Turbo Expo 2011 ; Vancouver, Canada, June 6-10, 2011}, journal = {ASME Turbo Expo 2011 ; Vancouver, Canada, June 6-10, 2011}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{BohnFunke2003, author = {Bohn, Dieter and Funke, Harald}, title = {Experimental investigations into the nonuniform flow in a 4-stage turbine with special focus on the flow equalization in the first turbine stage}, series = {ASME TURBO EXPO, Proceedings of the ASME Turbo Expo, 2003}, journal = {ASME TURBO EXPO, Proceedings of the ASME Turbo Expo, 2003}, isbn = {0-7918-3689-4}, pages = {281 -- 289}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{ReckerBosschaertsWagemakersetal.2010, author = {Recker, Elmar and Bosschaerts, Walter and Wagemakers, Rolf and Hendrick, Patrick and Funke, Harald and B{\"o}rner, Sebastian}, title = {Experimental study of a round jet in cross-flow at low momentum ratio}, series = {15th International Symposium on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics Lisbon, Portugal, 05-08 July, 2010 - 1}, journal = {15th International Symposium on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics Lisbon, Portugal, 05-08 July, 2010 - 1}, pages = {1 -- 13}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{FunkeBeckmann2022, author = {Funke, Harald and Beckmann, Nils}, title = {Flexible fuel operation of a Dry-Low-NOx Micromix Combustor with Variable Hydrogen Methane Mixture}, series = {International Journal of Gas Turbine, Propulsion and Power Systems}, volume = {13}, journal = {International Journal of Gas Turbine, Propulsion and Power Systems}, number = {2}, issn = {1882-5079}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The role of hydrogen (H2) as a carbon-free energy carrier is discussed since decades for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
