Project and Major Achievement

In terms of small- and medium-sized gas turbines, we has actively carried out the technology development and research of 16 MW gas turbines, and the design work of each main part of 16 MW gas turbines has been completed.According to the development plan, the evaluation of gas turbine body, pipeline system and test outline has been completed.

In the aspect of aircraft-derived gas turbines, for HAT gas turbine, we completed an 8 MW operation test and 2% whole machine test of air humidification, and the overall design technology of the gas turbine, combustor development, and whole machine operation and control have been verified.

In the aspect of multi-fuel and low-pollution combustion technology research of gas turbines, the scheme design and experimental study of the low-pollution combustor of hydrogen and ammonia mixed fuel gas turbine were completed,

and the results showed that stable and efficient combustion was achieved in the range of 0%–80% ammonia. We completed the installation test of the pure hydrogen low-pollution combustor on the micro-gas turbine, realized pure hydrogen ignition and pure hydrogen operation under all conditions, and NOx emission is lower than 25 ppm@15% O2.

In the aspect of combustion chemistry, the combustion characteristics of jet fuel RP-3 and low carbon fuels such as amines were revealed; the influence of fuel structure was analyzed, and the chemical analysis method of aviation fuel combustion was established; We put forward a new efficient clean fuel modification strategy, developed the single/multi-jet burner and a carbon smoke sampling device that can be used in the combustion science laboratory of the space station, and the device has been aboard the space station with TZ-6 and will be used for the space station combustion science experiment in

2024. The experimental platform of swirl combustion was built. In-situ wide temperature zone diagnosis instrument for combustion carbon deposition was developed. The controllable preparation of polymetallic oxides and the clean removal of VOC were realized.

Hybrid additive manufacturing technology, ultra-high temperature materials, low carbon and intelligence manufacturing technology: material-structurefunction integrated design; Low-carbon and intelligent manufacturing technology; High-end equipment heat management technology; Concentrated solar energy comprehensive utilization, camouflage and stealth, thermal functional materials; Research and development of camouflage technology for imitating cover, background feature imitation technology. We developed the vacuum freeze-drying process for preparing pure oxide aerogels, and prepared bulk oxide aerogels and their composite materials.
