Abstract

When considering only hydrogen as fuel the MILD combustion concept provides an interesting opportunity to achieve low NOx emissions without the need of premixing. Due to the high reactivity of hydrogen, obtaining the desired distributed reaction zone is harder than when using methane as fuel. Thus, it is important to focus on the air to hydrogen jet momentum ratio. This experimental study addresses the NOx emissions of a hydrogen combustion chamber for different air to fuel jet momentum ratios. Additionally, the chemiluminescence of OH* radicals was measured with an ICCD camera in order to visualise the influence of different fuel inlets onto the reaction zone.
