Abstract
Phase-shift control was applied to an atmospheric swirl-stabilized premixed combustor. Two different actuators were tested in the control scheme. An on-off valve was used to modulate secondary pilot fuel and a loudspeaker provided excitation of the air mass flow upstream of the burner. In individual mode, both actuators were able to successfully control a low-frequency combustion instability with similar levels of suppression. The pilot valve could also be triggered at subharmonics of the dominant oscillation frequency without loosing control performance. Using the two actuators simultaneously gave an even better suppression compared to individual operation. It was further shown that the pulsed pilot fuel could be used to assist purely acoustic control in the case of limited actuator authority.
