Development of dry two-stage low-NOx combustor for a gas turbine

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6247692
A dry two-stage low NO/sub x/ combustor for a 73 MW gas turbine is developed to meet stringent NO/sub x/ limitations in Japan. This combustion system has a fuel-air control mechanism to ensure stable switching from one-stage combustion to two-stage combustion. NO/sub x/ emission is very low not only at full load but also in the entire gas turbine operating range. The NO/sub x/ characteristics have proved to be within the goal in full scale, full pressure combustion tests. This paper outlines the development plan and describes the structure and combustion characteristics of the low NO/sub x/ combustor.
