Abstract
In recent years, the gas turbine power plant has been increasingly used in various industries in Kazakhstan. The reasons for this are: thermal efficiency, simplicity of the thermal scheme and design, small mass per power unit, high maneuverability, low toxicity, and relatively simple automation of operation. This paper presents the experimental study results of a two-tier air burner as the part of the gas turbine engine combustion chamber at burning liquid fuel. ? new design of a microflame device was developed. Two-tier burner makes possible the combustion process in a number of discrete zones, i.e. microflame combustion. During the experiment, the installation angles of the blades of the external and internal registers, as well as the ratio of the coefficients of excess air in the tiers, were changed. The experimental studies of a two-tier burner confirmed the possibility to increase fuel combustion efficiency, a low degree of temperature field unevenness and to decrease NOx emission.
