Single Burner Test Rig

The atmospheric single burner test rig enables the phenomenological investigation of flame stabilisation mechanisms for various injection strategies with different gaseous fuels.

The test bench offers precisely controlled mass flows of fuel and combustion air by means of mass flow controllers for the use of methane and hydrogen. The complete optical accessibility in the form of a quartz glass combustion chamber makes it possible to adapt detailed spatially and temporally resolved laser measurement techniques. The data obtained can be used for the validation of numerical simulations or for modelling different flame types.

In addition to optical measurement technology, the use of precise exhaust gas and temperature measurement technology (NOx, CO, CHx, H2O) is possible by adapting the outlet geometry of the combustion chamber in order to evaluate the influence of different flame stabilisation mechanisms and injection variants on pollutant emissions.

The burner geometry of the atmospheric single burner test stand is already fully prepared for use in the atmospheric ring combustion chamber test stand and enables rapid scaling for investigating the behaviour in the flame ensemble.
