“…The parameter, "Smoke for CDL/Smoke for PDS," is used to make comparisons of the subscale smoke performance of the coal liquids and surrogates. Pillsbury, et.al., (3) showed that smoke data from different combustors in different laboratories could be correlated with respect to hydrogen content in this fashion. At three of the four combustor outlet temperatures studied --839, 1172 and 1311 K (1050, 1650 and 1900 F) --smoke values of the CDL and PDS fuels were normalized using the baseline data taken immediately preceding the test.…”

Tests have been made in a combustion turbine burner using six petroleum-derived surrogate (PDS) fuels simulating six coal-derived liquid (DCL) fuels tested earlier. The purpose being to examine their suitability for use in place of scarce CDL fuels for combustor development. The PDS and DCL fuels were matched in terms of aromaticity and fuel bound nitrogen although differences in viscosity, distillation range and constituent species existed. In three cases, the low fuel bound nitrogen present in the PDS fuels was made equal to their coal liquid counterparts via the addition of quinoline. All six PDS fuels were evaluated on a 0. 14-m-dia combustor while one of the surrogate fuels was evaluated on a 0.3-m-dia Westinghouse commercial combustor.nitrogen content while combustor wall temperature and smoke are related to hydrogen deficiency (i.e., aromaticity) of the CDL fuels. For both the PDS and CDL fuels, aromaticity is defined as the percentage of aromatic carbon atoms in the fuel relative to the

“…Gas turbines have the capability to burn a wide variety of fuels. Combustor and fuel injector design modifications have been able to accommodate fuels which have included: natural gas, blast furnace gas, coal gas, distillate fuel, residual fuel, crude oil, methanol, propane, coal derived liquids, and shale oil (Pillsbury et al, 1974(Pillsbury et al, , 1978(Pillsbury et al, and 1979Seglem and DeCorso, 1980). Burning fuels which have potentially corrosive elements requires that fuel contaminant specifications be set (Wenglarz and Menguturlc, 1981).…”

This paper reviews the evolution of heavy-duty power generation and industrial combustion turbines in the United States from a Westinghouse Electric Corporation perspective. Westinghouse combustion turbine genealogy began in March of 1943 when the first wholly American designed and manufactured jet engine went on test in Philadelphia, and continues today in Orlando, Florida with the 160 MW, 501F Advanced Combustion Turbine. In this paper, advances in thermodynamics, materials, cooling, and unit size will be described. Many basic design features such as two-bearing rotor, cold-end drive, can-annular internal combustors, CURVIC2 clutched turbine discs, and tangential exhaust struts have endured successfully for over 40 years. Progress in turbine technology includes the clean coal technology and advanced turbine systems initiatives of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Combustion Effects of Coal Liquid and Other Synthetic Fuels in Gas Turbine Combustors: Part I — Fuels Used and Subscale Combustion Results

Combustion tests on over twelve types of coal derived liquid fuels from the EDS, H-coal, SRC-I and SRC-II processes and three shale oil fuels have been conducted in gas turbine type combustors. Emission measurements were made of Nox, smoke, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons. Combustor wall temperature profiles were measured. The results are correlated with the fuel properties-percent nitrogen, hydrogen and aromaticity. This part of the paper discusses the fuels used in subscale combustion tests along with the test results. A companion paper (Part II) describes the results of full-scale combustor tests and a long term corrosion/deposition test.
