Abstract

A propane-air premixer for a gas turbine application that consists essentially of a single, modified heat exchanger panel was described. The design makes it possible to uniformly inject into a flow stream of gas a second gas via micro jets that are spaced apart a distance on the order of one millimeter. The micro jets can be injected in a co-flow or counterflow orientation with respect to the main gas stream. A number of tests were conducted to quantify the performance of the premixer concept. The velocity (and mass flow) for every jet hole in the premixer was very similar, making it possible to assert that the fuel was injected out uniformly through all the jet holes regardless where a jet hole locates. While the performance of premixer has not yet been completely characterized, initial results look promising. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Spring National Meeting (Houston, TX 4/22-27/2007).
