摘要:
氨燃料化学回热循环利用轮机排气余热来裂解氨生成NH3/H2/N2混合气体,不仅能提高循环热效率,还能够改善燃烧稳定性。以某型船用分轴燃气轮机为基础,采用总体性能仿真分析方法,对比研究在化学平衡状态和不同Ru基催化剂作用下化学回热循环变工况性能。结果表明:在输出功率12~26 MW范围内,简单循环热效率为30.5%~39%,在化学平衡反应状态下,化学回热燃气轮机(CRGT)循环热效率为40.4%~50.5%,在Ru基催化剂作用下,CRGT循环热效率为37.8%~46.6%;当给定催化剂和空速比时,在变工况范围内氨转化率的变化不大;在化学平衡状态和Ru基催化剂作用下,氨转化率分别为95%和40%,化学反应吸热量占比为56.5%和32%,燃料低热值(LHV)增加约为13.3%和5.4%;采用Ru基催化剂时,能够在变工况范围内显著地改善燃烧稳定性。

Abstract:The chemically recuperated cycle gas turbine is a promising NH3-fueled gas turbine, as it could improve the thermal efficiency and premixed burning stability effectively by partially decomposing NH3 into NH3/H2/N2 blended mixture with exhaust heat. The effects of catalyst activities (e.g. chemical equilibrium state and various Ru-based catalysts) on overall thermodynamic performance of a chemically recuperated gas turbine (CRGT) at off-design cases were investigated. Results indicated that: while thermal efficiency of a simple cycle gas turbine was about 30.5%—39% within net power ranges of 12—26 MW, it was about 40.4%—50.5% of a CRGT cycle at the equilibrium state and about 37.8%—46.6% over the Ru-based catalysts. For a certain catalyst and a constant gas hourly space velocity, the NH3 conversation rates varied slightly at off-design cases of a CRGT cycle, which was about 95% at the equilibrium state and about 40% over a Ru-based catalyst. Correspondingly, the chemical reaction heat per overall recuperated waste heat were about 56.5% and 32%, respectively. Furthermore, the low heating value (LHV) could be relatively improved about 13.3% and 5.4% by NH3 cracking in chemical recuperation system at the equilibrium state and Ru-based catalyst. Generally, the premixed flame could be stabilized significantly in a NH3-CRGT over a certain Ru-based catalyst.
