A series of ignition tests were conducted to study the similarities and differences of lean ignition limits among single-sector
multi-sector and full annular combustors. Furthermore
major factors causing the differences were analyzed. Based on Lefebvres ignition model
empirical lean ignition limit correlations of different combustors were summarized by data fitting method
together with the conversion formulas there in. Results show that: different types of combustors exhibit similar lean ignition limit changing pattern
but the lean ignition fuel air ratio of full annular combustor are obviously lower than those of single-sector and multi-sector combustors under same conditions.
