H2-O2 - Burner Test Rig

The H2-O2 burner test bench was set up at the ITV as part of the Lower Saxony innovation laboratory WaVe (sustainable hydrogen combustion concepts) and put into operation in 2022.

 

Description

Hydrogen-oxygen combustion is studied on this burner test rig using a new burner concept. The burner concept involves injecting liquid water into the flame to initially reduce the high combustion temperatures.

The burner is mounted on a flexibly adaptable aluminium frame, which allows the use of a wide range of measurement technology. The test stand is controlled and continuous measurements are recorded using Labview software.

Combustion chamber temperatures and residual H2 gas concentrations were measured as part of the WaVe project. Furthermore, laser spectroscopic measurement techniques such as OH-LIF, pentanone LIF, Mie scattering and PDA could be applied due to the optical accessibility.
