ASME Turbo Expo 2023: Disruptive AM Geometries for Hydrogen Combustion

Nina Paulitsch and Fabrice Giuliani represent CBOne at the ASME Turbo Expo Conference in Boston, June 26-30, 2023.

 

       
 

 

This year, our contribution focus on new shapes for better burners, very promising for hydrogen applications. 

 

This is an opportunity for us to unveil two advanced burner geometries for high-performance hydrogen combustion. What the two studies have in common is a mathematical approach to the geometries to be optimised, the use of CFD to control the desired reactive flow in detail, the production of the burners using additive technologies and the validation tests on these burners. As things stand, we have already been able to prove that the NOX performance of the BLUETIFUEL technology is excellent. As for the MOeBIUS technology, tests are under way and everything is going very well.

To be more precise:

  • Nina Paulitsch will present the results of the energy research project on the pulsating combustion of non-carbon fuels, a study carried out as part of the BLUETIFUEL project. A highlight of this study is the neatly profiled fast-premixer for air and H2.
