A jet-stabilised burner enables safe and low-emission hydrogen combustion
DLR has tested the innovative burner technology in the laboratory, using open hydrogen flames for operation in micro gas turbines. The mixture of hydrogen and air flows as high speed 'jets' through several nozzles arranged in a circle into the combustion chamber. This minimises the risk of flames flashing back into the nozzles.
