Research and Development of Swirling Flow Combustor for Low NOx

The development of a low NOx combustor is underway at the Advanced Material Gas-Generator Research Institute (AMG). To achieve low NOx emissions, a lean-premixed-prevaporized (LPP) swirling flow combustor was selected. There are two objectives for this combustor: a uniform fuel/air mixture coupled with well-atomized fuel for low NOx emissions, and a combustion stabilization of this new concept combustor. The spray characteristics test and the combustion test have carried out. This paper describes the evaluation of these results.
