Experimental Research on the Aero Derivative Gas Turbine with Emulsified Fuel

Environmental responsibility is a focus of researchers in Aviation and power generation industry. The aim of this paper is the experimental investigation of the influence on the reduction of nitrogen oxides emissions and overall performance of aero derivative gas turbine on the basis of wet low emissions technology. An economical and practical emissions reduction scheme was proposed by studying the mechanism of nitrogen oxides production and its suppression measures. Experiments have been carried out through improving the design of the fuel supply system and optimizing the control strategy based on aero derivative gas turbine. Combined with the combustion chamber research results conducted prior to the experiment, this study focuses on the reduction in gaseous emissions and performance changes of the aero derivative gas turbine by introducing a dynamic fuel emulsification system. From the experimental data it was determined that the exhaust gas composition was significantly affected by the water injection. Additionally, the effects o on the power output and thermal efficiency of the engine were also determined to be significant. The research reveals great potential for the successful application of emulsified fuel on the aero derivative gas turbine and providing technical reference for the engineering application of wet low emissions technology.
