This study investigates the effects of rotating gliding arc (RGA) discharge plasma on the flame stability and NOx emission of NH3/air premixed swirling flames. The discharge characteristics of the RGA were studied, and the flame stabilization mechanisms by plasma were revealed and analyzed. The results show that the RGA discharge plasma can enhance flame stability and reduce NOx emissions by affecting flame structure and key intermediate OH radicals distribution.
Ammonia received increased attention as a carbon-free fuel and hydrogen carrier. Poor combustion stability and high NOx emission are the main issues for ammonia combustion. Effects of rotating gliding arc (RGA) discharge plasma on the flame stability and NOx emission of NH3/air premixed swirling flames were investigated. The discharge characteristics of the RGA were studied. The flame stabilization mechanisms by plasma were revealed and analyzed according to the flame structure transition and the distribution of key intermediate OH radicals. The NOx emissions were measured by the Gasmet DX4000 Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) gas analyzer. Results showed that the RGA discharge plasma can enhance the stability and extend the lean blow-off (LBO) limits from 0.6 to approximately 0.43-0.57. A hysteresis phenomenon about the transition between the lift-off flame and the attached flame was observed without plasma and disappeared with plasma activation. The plasma reduces NO and NO2 emissions mainly due to the kinetic and cracking effects of plasma. Extremely low NO emission below 300 ppm can be observed for very lean ammonia flames with an equivalence ratio (phi) lower than 0.6, which are stabilized by plasma, while a large amount of unburned NH3 emission is accompanied.
