    [0031] A combustor according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to drawings in the following.

    [0032] Referring to Figs. 1-8, the combustor according to embodiments of the present invention may include at least one combustion unit 1, each combustion unit 1 includes a combustor shell 11 and a rectifying device 14.

    [0033] The combustor shell 11 defines a first rich combustion cavity 1111, a second rich combustion cavity 1121 and a lean combustion cavity 1141 therein. The combustor shell 11 is provided with a rich combustion injection port 131 in communication with the first rich combustion cavity 1111 and the second rich combustion cavity 1121, a lean combustion injection port 121 in communication with the lean combustion cavity 1141, a first rich combustion flame port 118 in communication with the first rich combustion cavity 1111, a second rich combustion flame port 119 in communication with the second rich combustion cavity 1121 and a lean combustion opening 115 in communication with the lean combustion cavity 1141 thereon.

    [0034] In other words, the combustor 100 may include one or more combustion units 1, for example, the combustor 100 may include a plurality of combustion units 1, the plurality of combustion units 1 are arranged side by side and are arrayed along a width direction of the combustion unit 1. The width direction refers to a left-right direction shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 7. Each combustion unit 1 includes the combustor shell 11 and the rectifying device 14, the rectifying device 14 is disposed in the combustor shell 11.

    [0035] The combustor shell 11 defines the first rich combustion cavity 1111, the second rich combustion cavity 1121 and the lean combustion cavity 1141 therein. The combustor shell 11 is provided with the rich combustion injection port 131, the lean combustion injection port 121, the first rich combustion flame port 118, the second rich combustion flame port 119 and the lean combustion opening 115 thereon. The rich combustion injection port 131 is configured to introduce air for the rich combustion and the lean combustion injection port 121 is configured to introduce air for the lean combustion. Referring to Fig. 1- Fig. 3 and Fig. 6, the rich combustion injection port 131 is located above the lean combustion injection port 121.

    [0036] The rich combustion injection port 131 is in communication with the first rich combustion cavity 1111 and the second rich combustion cavity 1121, the first rich combustion cavity 1111 is in communication with the first rich combustion flame port 118, the second rich combustion cavity 1121 is in communication with the second rich combustion flame port 119, the lean combustion injection port 121 is in communication with the lean combustion cavity 1141, as well the lean combustion cavity 1141 is in communication with the lean combustion opening 115.

    [0037] In this way, the air is introduced in from the rich combustion injection port 131 and is mixed with fuel gas to form rich combustion gas, the rich combustion gas after being mixed may enter the first rich combustion cavity 1111 and the second rich combustion cavity 1121, then be led to the first rich combustion flame port 118 and the second rich combustion flame port 119 respectively. The air introduced in by the lean combustion injection port 121 is mixed with the fuel gas to form lean combustion gas which flows to the lean combustion cavity 1141 then. Referring to Figs. 5-8, the rectifying device 14 is disposed in the lean combustion opening 115, the rectifying device 14 is provided with the plurality of lean combustion flame ports 141, the lean combustion cavity 1141 is in communication with the plurality of lean combustion flame ports 141, and the lean combustion gas may be led to the plurality of lean combustion flame ports 141.

    [0038] Referring to Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the first rich combustion flame port 118 and the second rich combustion flame port 119 are disposed at both sides of the lean combustion opening 115 respectively, the plurality of lean combustion flame ports 141 are located between the first rich combustion flame port 118 and the second rich combustion flame port 119. In this way, a structure having a middle configured to be the lean combustion flame ports 141 and two sides configured to be the rich combustion ports may be formed at the top of each combustion unit 1. That is to say, the combustion unit 1 may allow a flame structure having a lean flame in the middle and rich flames at the two sides during the combustion, so that stability of the flame may be improved, and temperature of the combustion flame may be reduced, controlling emission of nitrogen oxides in fume.

    [0039] The sectional area of the rich combustion injection port 131 is denoted by S1, the sectional area of the lean combustion injection port 121 is denoted by S2, S1 and S2 may satisfy: S1/S2=0.20∼0.40, that is to say, the sectional area S1 of the rich combustion injection port 131 is 0.20-0.40 percent of the sectional area S2 of the lean combustion injection port 121. Thus, the amount of air introduced by the rich combustion injection port 131 and the lean combustion injection port 121 may be controlled, moreover the mixture proportion of the air introduced by the rich combustion injection port 131 to the fuel gas and the mixture proportion of the air introduced by the lean combustion injection port 121 to the fuel gas are good, so as to control the primary air ratio of the rich combustion or the lean combustion. The primary air ratio refers to a ratio of the proportion of the amount of air to that of fuel gas when the fuel gas is mixed with the air in advance, to the proportion of the amount of air to that of fuel gas in theory for a complete combustion of fuel gas. Thereby the stability of the flame structure may be improved effectively, so as to further reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides in fume and reduce the environment pollution.

    [0040] Thus, in the combustor according to embodiments of the present invention, the first rich combustion flame port 118 and the second rich combustion flame port 119 of the combustion unit 1 are located at two sides of the plurality of lean combustion flame ports 141 respectively, so as to form the stable flame structure having the lean combustion flame in the middle and the rich combustion flames at both sides, thereby reducing the flame temperature and controlling emission of the nitrogen oxides in the fume after the combustion. In which the sectional area S1 of the rich combustion injection port 131 and the sectional area S2 of the lean combustion injection port 121 satisfy: S1/S2=0.20∼0.40, achieving good mixture proportion of the air introduced by the rich combustion injection port 131 to the fuel gas and good mixture proportion of the air introduced by the lean combustion injection port 121 to the fuel gas, so as further controlling the structural stability of the combustion flame and reducing the emission of nitrogen oxides.

    [0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first blind passage 116 and a second blind passage 117 may be defined between the rectifying device 14 and two side walls of the lean combustion opening 115 respectively, the first blind passage 116 is located between the first rich combustion flame port 118 and the plurality of lean combustion flame ports 141, and the second blind passage 117 is located between the second rich combustion flame port 119 and the plurality of lean combustion flame ports 141. As shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the rectifying device 14 is disposed in the lean combustion opening 115 and is connected to the two side walls of the lean combustion opening 115. The rectifying device 14 defines the first blind passage 116 and the second blind passage 117 with the two side walls of the lean combustion opening 115 respectively, nether the first blind passage 116 nor the second blind passage 117 is in communication with the lean combustion cavity 1141. The first rich combustion flame port 118 may be spaced apart from the plurality of lean combustion flame ports 141 through the first blind passage 116, and the second rich combustion flame port 119 may be spaced apart from the plurality of lean combustion flame ports 141 through the second blind passage 117, thereby the flame structure being more stable, the emission of nitrogen oxides in fume being effectively controlled.

    [0042] Optionally, as shown in Fig. 8, a top surface of an outer side wall of the first blind passage 116 is flush with a top surface of an outer side wall of the second blind passage 117 and is higher than a top surface of the rectifying device 14. A top surface of an outer side wall of the first rich combustion flame port 118 is flush with that of the second rich combustion flame port 119 and is higher than the top surface of the outer side wall of the first blind passage 116 and the top surface of the outer side wall of the second blind passage 117. A height difference between the top surface of the outer side wall of the first blind passage 116 and the top surface of the rectifying device 14 and a height difference between the top surface of the outer side wall of the second blind passage 117 and the top surface of the rectifying device 14 are denoted by H1, and a height difference between the top surface of the outer side wall of the first rich combustion flame port 118 and the top surface of the rectifying device 14 and a height difference between the top surface of the outer side wall of the second rich combustion flame port 119 and the top surface of the rectifying device 14 are denoted by H2, in which H2≥H1, thereby facilitating control of stability of the air flow at the rich combustion flame ports and the lean combustion flame port 141, further improving the stability of the combustion flame.

    [0043] Preferably, H2 and H1 may satisfy H2>H1, thereby further ensuing the stability of the flames at the lean combustion flame port 141 and the rich combustion flame ports, reducing the emission of nitrogen oxides in fume.

    [0044] Advantageously, as shown in Fig. 8, the maximum width of the first blind passage 116 and the maximum width of the second blind passage 117 may be equal and denoted by W2, the maximum width of the first rich combustion flame port 118 and the maximum width of the second rich combustion flame port 119 are equal and denoted by W1, in which W2≥W1, thereby further ensuring the structural stability of the combustion flames.

The maximum width of the first blind passage 116 and the maximum width of the second blind passage 117 refer to the maximum widths of narrow sides of the first blind passage 116 and the second blind passage 117 along the left-right direction respectively. The maximum widths of narrow sides of the first blind passage 116 and the second blind passage 117 are equal and configured to be W2, the maximum widths of narrow sides of the first rich combustion flame port 118 and the second rich combustion flame port 119 are equal and configured to be W1, the maximum widths W2 of narrow sides of the first blind passage 116 and the second blind passage 117 are larger than or equal to the maximum widths W1 of narrow sides of the first rich combustion flame port 118 and the second rich combustion flame port 119.

    [0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the maximum width of the lean combustion flame port 141 may be denoted by W3, a height of the rectifying device 14 may be denoted by H, in which W3/H=0.03∼0.30. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the rectifying device 14 may include a plurality of rectifying plates. The plurality of rectifying plates define a plurality of finedraw-type passages therebetween. The plurality of lean combustion flame ports 141 are formed at a top of each finedraw-type passage. In which, the maximum width W3 of the lean combustion flame port 141 refers to the maximum width of a narrow side of a top opening of each finedraw-type passage along the left-right direction, a height H of the rectifying device 14 refers to the height of each finedraw-type passage, preferably, W3/H=0.05∼0.20. Thereby the structure stability of the rich combustion flames and the lean combustion flames may be further ensured.

    [0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, a ratio of the amount of air to that of the fuel gas in theory for complete combustion of fuel gas may be denoted by ΦS, a mixture ratio of the amount of air to that of the fuel gas at the rich combustion injection port 131 may be denoted by ΦR, in which, ΦRS=0.5∼0.8.

By designing a port area ratio of the rich combustion injection port 131 to the lean combustion injection port 121, the primary air ratios of the rich combustion and the lean combustion may be adjusted, so that the fuel gas and the air are fully mixed and have a good combustion ratio, so as to form the stable flame structure and reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides in fume.
