LIQUID BIO-FUELS IN AN EGR EQUIPPED MICRO GAS TURBINE

Following their previous experiences in the search of feasible modifications to an existing lean-premixed combustor for definite pollutant abatement from a micro-gas turbine, the authors extend their analysis to the case of some typical cases of interest when considering the bio-fuel adoption. In particular, this paper focuses the attention to the possibility of a correct combustion close to the flameless regime, even in the presence of lower calorific value fuels like those that can be found with high concentrations in the bio-mass derived ones. In addition, the authors pay attention to the nitric oxide control by means of an optimal choice of the pilot injector location.
