AddBluff4NH3/H2: Additiv gefertigter Bluff-Body-Brenner, charakterisiert durch detaillierte Simulationen und Experimente für die brennstoffflexible, stabile und sichere Verbrennung von NH3/H2-Gemischen
Laufzeit: 01.01.2024 bis 31.12.2029

Dieses Projekt ist ein Verbundprojekt im Rahmen des DFG SPP 2419 "Ein Beitrag zur Realisierung der Energiewende: Optimierung thermochemischer Energiewandlungsprozesse zur flexiblen Nutzung wasserstoffbasierter erneuerbarer Brennstoffe durch additive Fertigungsverfahren".
In diesem Projekt wird ein additiv gefertigter Bluff-Body-Brenner für die brennstoffflexible, stabile und sichere Verbrennung von NH3/H2-Gemischen betrachtet. Zur Untersuchung der Verbrennungseigenschaften und der Schadstoffemissionen werden akkurate numerische Simulationen und detaillierte experimentelle durchgeführt. Die Brennerkonstruktion wird dann optimiert (in Bezug auf Form, Größe und Position des Flammenhalters), um ein effizientes Verbrennungsverhalten zu erreichen. Es werden offene und geschlossene Brennergeometrien betrachtet. Die Seite des Flammenhalters in Kontakt mit der Flamme und andere Hochtemperaturteile werden durch additive Fertigung unter Verwendung von zunächst Ni-Basis-Legierungen und später ultrahochtemperaturbeständigen Refraktärmetall-Legierungen hergestellt, um schnelle Geometrievariationen zu ermöglichen. Die Dynamik der turbulenten Flamme, die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Flamme und Wand, die Grenze der stabilen Verbrennung, der Flammenrückschlag und die Wärmefreisetzung werden untersucht. Schließlich wird ein optimales Bluff-Body-Brennerdesign für eine stabile, sichere, brennstoffflexible und saubere Verbrennung von NH3/H2 als Mischbrennstoff entwickelt.
Das Projekt wird von der DFG in 2 Förderperioden à 3 Jahre gefördert.
