Abstract

In this article, a small-scale partially premixed combustor was designed with 1.5 kW heat input rate. Through altering premixing ratio of gas and air, the lifting and yellow tip characteristics were experimentally tested with the burner head material of cast-iron and copper–aluminum respectively. Combined with burner head temperature influences, the lifting and yellow tip characteristics of small-scale partially premixed combustor are discussed when natural gas is substituted. It is found that when lifting and yellow tip occur, the cast-iron burner shows a slow tendency of temperature change, but the temperature of copper–aluminum burner fluctuates sharply. Yellow tip is related to gas properties and burner structure, and is more likely to appear with the increase of the Wobbe index and heavy hydrocarbon fraction, while lifting is very likely to appear when temperature fluctuates. Yellow tip characteristic can be predicted by Wobbe index, but this method is unsuitable for lifting prediction.
