摘要
This paper simulates the combustion system of a regular tankless gas water heater under different static pressure conditions.The simulation results are in accordance with the test results.It proves that the used physical and mathematical models are reasonable.The results show that the flame height and the excess air ratios depend on the system pressure drop but not on the absolute pressure at the combustion chamber.The pressure drop and the amount of combustion air have an inverse relationship with CO generation,and they also impact on the temperature and velocity fields.To reduce CO emission,a stronger fan is needed to provide extra pressure head to ensure that enough combustion air is introduced into the system.This study provides a useful research tool to develop products through computational fluid dynamic analysis and laboratory testing.
模拟了一种常规快速式燃气热水器的燃烧系统,研究了不同压力状况下的燃烧工况.得到的数值模拟结果与实验获得的数据吻合得较好,证明了所用物理模型和数学模型的合理性.结果显示,火焰高度和过剩空气系数依赖于系统出口和入口的静压差,而与燃烧室内的绝对压力无关.该静压差和系统中用于燃烧的空气量显著影响CO的生成,与CO的生成量呈反比关系,并同时影响燃烧区域内的温度场和速度场.为降低CO排放水平,必须增加进入燃烧系统的空气量,因此需要增加风机输出功率以提供足够的空气压头.该研究为设计快速式燃气热水器提供了一种行之有效的方法.
