Fuel nozzle with central body cooling system

Номер: US20120031098A1
Принадлежит: General Electric Co

A fuel nozzle for turbine engine includes a cooling shroud located at the downstream end of the fuel nozzle to help cool the downstream end of the fuel nozzle. The cooling shroud surrounds the exterior circumference of the downstream end of the fuel nozzle. A flow of air is admitted into the cooling shroud and the flow of air travels in the downstream direction through a first passageway which covers the exterior of the fuel nozzle. The cooling air flow then turns 180° and travels in the upstream direction through a second passageway which is located concentrically outside the first passageway. The airflow then leaves the upstream end of the cooling shroud and enters the interior of the fuel nozzle.

System and method for purifying solid carboniferous fuels, using a rotary chamber, prior to chemical looping combustion

Номер: US20130277198A1
Автор: Peter Rugg
Принадлежит: Individual

Solid carboniferous fuels contain varying quantities of moisture, mercury, chlorine, nitrogen, sulfur, heavy metals and other materials that attain vapor pressure at elevated temperatures. The cost effective removal of these degrading and sometimes hazardous materials is important to the further use of the fuel for combustion as a solid, liquid, or gas. The solid fuel is cut, shredded, ground or sieved to appropriate size, and heated in a chamber that can exclude oxygen and air thus preventing ignition. The unwanted materials are driven in the gaseous state and extracted for disposal. The solid fuel cleaned of pollutants exits the chamber and is cooled below ignition temperature prior to contact with oxygen. The solid fuel thus purified is more appropriate for combustion, liquefaction or gasification due to the reduced costs in use as a fuel or in the post combustion clean up.

Oxygen carriers for chemical looping and scalable methods of preparation thereof. Wet impregnation of active metal precursors into porous substrates, together with selective adsorption of the precursors on the pore surfaces, enables transition metal oxides derived from the precursors to disperse throughout the substrate, even at the nanoscale, without increased sintering or agglomeration. The porous substrate can be an oxide, for example SiO 2 . The oxygen carriers can comprise relatively large oxide loadings of over about 20 wt % and exhibit high reactivity over many regeneration cycles with substantially no loss in oxygen transport capacity or decrease in kinetics. The use of multiple transition metals, for example NiO in addition to CuO, can greatly enhance chemical looping performance.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIFFUSE COMBUSTION OF PREMIX

Номер: US20170167725A1
Автор: Robertson Thomas F.
Принадлежит: Fives North American Combustion, Inc.

A method directs fuel-oxidant premix into a reaction zone through a first total premix inlet flow area, and causes the premix to combust and form a stable flame projecting into a process chamber through an outlet from the reaction zone. At a time when the process chamber has a temperature at or above an auto-ignition temperature of the fuel, the flame is blown off to initiate diffuse combustion in the process chamber without a stable flame. The flame is blown off by directing the premix into the reaction zone through a second total premix inlet flow area greater than the first total premix inlet flow area. 1. A method comprising:directing fuel-oxidant premix into a reaction zone through a first total premix inlet flow area;causing the premix to combust and form a stable flame projecting into a process chamber through an outlet from the reaction zone; andblowing off the flame at a time when the process chamber has a temperature at or above an auto-ignition temperature of the fuel, and thereby initiating diffuse combustion in the process chamber, by directing the premix into the reaction zone through a second total premix inlet flow area greater than the first total premix inlet flow area.2.
