Dr.-Ing. Lothar Fuchs vom itwh Hannover mit 13 Seiten (S. 57-69) Beitrag zum 1. Aachener Softwaretag in der Wasserwirtschaft <1, 2007, Aachen> Zusammenfassung [des Autors] Die wesentlichen technischen Probleme der Kanalnetzbewirtschaftung sind gelöst. Der Markt bietet bewährte Messgeräte, Steuerungseinrichtungen, Datenübertragungs-, Regler- und Rechnersysteme, die sich für den Einsatz in der Stadtentwässerung eignen. Mit den heute existierenden Simulationsmodellen können die Auswirkungen von Bewirtschaftungssystemen abgeschätzt werden, bevor diese implementiert werden. Die für Bewirtschaftungssysteme notwendige Ausrüstung ist eine andere, als die traditionell in der Stadtentwässerung übliche. Sie erfordert in jedem Fall mehr und teureren Wartungsaufwand sowie anders ausgebildetes Personal. Bei einem Kostenvergleich mit konventionellen (d.h. ungesteuerten) Systemen muß die umfassende Information und Kontrolle des bewirtschafteten Systems berücksichtigt werden. Die permanente Information über den Betriebszustand sowie die in allen existierenden Bewirtschaftungssystemen erreichten Verminderungen von Regenentlastungen und (in geringerem Maße) hydraulischen Überlastungen lassen es geraten erscheinen, Kanalnetzbewirtschaftung nicht nur unter dem Gesichtspunkt der höheren Betriebskosten, sondern auch denen der möglich Einsparungen von Investitionen und der höheren Effizienz zu beurteilen. Analog lässt sich zeigen, dass bewirtschaftete Systeme kleiner ausgelegt werden können und dennoch die gleiche Effizienz besitzen wie größer dimensionierte, statisch wirkende Systeme.
Flexible Fuel Operation of a Dry-Low-Nox Micromix Combustor with Variable Hydrogen Methane Mixtures
(2019)
The Dry-Low-NOx (DLN) Micromix combustion technology has been developed originally as a low emission alternative for industrial gas turbine combustors fueled with hydrogen. Currently the ongoing research process targets flexible fuel operation with hydrogen and syngas fuel.
The non-premixed combustion process features jet-in-crossflow-mixing of fuel and oxidizer and combustion through multiple miniaturized flames. The miniaturization of the flames leads to a significant reduction of NOx emissions due to the very short residence time of reactants in the flame.
The paper presents the results of a numerical and experimental combustor test campaign. It is conducted as part of an integration study for a dual-fuel (H2 and H2/CO 90/10 Vol.%) Micromix combustion chamber prototype for application under full scale, pressurized gas turbine conditions in the auxiliary power unit Honeywell Garrett GTCP 36-300.
In the presented experimental studies, the integration-optimized dual-fuel Micromix combustor geometry is tested at atmospheric pressure over a range of gas turbine operating conditions with hydrogen and syngas fuel. The experimental investigations are supported by numerical combustion and flow simulations. For validation, the results of experimental exhaust gas analyses are applied.
Despite the significantly differing fuel characteristics between pure hydrogen and hydrogen-rich syngas the evaluated dual-fuel Micromix prototype shows a significant low NOx performance and high combustion efficiency. The combustor features an increased energy density that benefits manufacturing complexity and costs.
The paper presents an overview of the past and present of low-emission combustor research with hydrogen-rich fuels at Aachen University of Applied Sciences. In 1990, AcUAS started developing the Dry-Low-NOx Micromix combustion technology. Micromix reduces NOx emissions using jet-in-crossflow mixing of multiple miniaturized fuel jets and combustor air with an inherent safety against flashback. At first, pure hydrogen as fuel was investigated with lab-scale applications. Later, Micromix prototypes were developed for the use in an industrial gas turbine Honeywell/Garrett GTCP-36-300, proving low NOx characteristics during real gas turbine operation, accompanied by the successful definition of safety laws and control system modifications. Further, the Micromix was optimized for the use in annular and can combustors as well as for fuel-flexibility with hydrogen-methane-mixtures and hydrogen-rich syngas qualities by means of extensive experimental and numerical simulations. In 2020, the latest Micromix application will be demonstrated in a commercial 2 MW-class gas turbine can-combustor with full-scale engine operation. The paper discusses the advances in Micromix research over the last three decades.
The feasibility study presents results of a hydrogen combustor integration for a Medium-Range aircraft engine using the Dry-Low-NOₓ Micromix combustion principle. Based on a simplified Airbus A320-type flight mission, a thermodynamic performance model of a kerosene and a hydrogen-powered V2530-A5 engine is used to derive the thermodynamic combustor boundary conditions. A new combustor design using the Dry-Low NOx Micromix principle is investigated by slice model CFD simulations of a single Micromix injector for design and off-design operation of the engine. Combustion characteristics show typical Micromix flame shapes and good combustion efficiencies for all flight mission operating points. Nitric oxide emissions are significant below ICAO CAEP/8 limits. For comparison of the Emission Index (EI) for NOₓ emissions between kerosene and hydrogen operation, an energy (kerosene) equivalent Emission Index is used.
A full 15° sector model CFD simulation of the combustion chamber with multiple Micromix injectors including inflow homogenization and dilution and cooling air flows investigates the combustor integration effects, resulting NOₓ emission and radial temperature distributions at the combustor outlet. The results show that the integration of a Micromix hydrogen combustor in actual aircraft engines is feasible and offers, besides CO₂ free combustion, a significant reduction of NOₓ emissions compared to kerosene operation.
