Scientific Research Instruments and Equipment
Completed debugging of the pressurized transport gasification engineering research facility system; completed baking and pressurized hot operation of key unit / equipment; carried out dense gas-solid flow research under pressurized and high temperature conditions. Conducted coal combustion and gasification tests, and prepared for subsequent research and optimization. The facility can be employed to do coal gasification research on different kinds of coal within the scope of 3.0 MPa operating pressure and 6 t/h coal input, including air blown, oxygen-enriched air blown and pure oxygen blown conditions.
Major Projects
The center undertook a Youth 973 program project, titled “Fundamental Research On Gas Turbine Efficient, Clean, Mild Combustion Mechanism And Combustor”, and has leaded the research of the national major science and technology infrastructure project “High-Efficiency and Low-Carbon Gas Turbine Research Facility”.
Major Achievements in 2016
The effect of uniformity of the steam dilution the natural gas on diffusion combustion was investigated. The results showed that improving the uniformity of fuel vapor can reduce the emission of CO and NOx. The test piece of lean premixed combustion chamber has been manufactured. The test of single can combustion chamber was carried out under medium and high pressures. When the outlet temperature was 1140 oC, the NOx emission was about 10 ppm@15%O2. The experimental study of MILD combustion chamber has been carried out. We have completed the design and processing of the full-scale mild combustion chamber test piece, and carried out tests under medium and high pressures. High efficiency and low emission targets under low mixing uniformity were achieved (with combustor outlet temperature of 1200 oC, NOx<20 ppm@15%O2, and the total pressure recovery coefficient higher than 0.945).
Team Building
Currently, the center has 27 employees, including 5 research professors, 9 associate research professors, 2 professors of CAS Hundred Talent Program; 23 graduate students including 8 Ph.D. candidates and 15 M.S. candidates; 1 post-doctor. 5 students were granted with Ph.D. degree, and 8with Master degree in 2016.
