Description

Calibration-free gas concentration measuring device and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a gas concentration measuring method based on a direct absorption spectrum technology and a cavity ring-down technology, and belongs to the technical field of measurement.
Background
Tunable laser diode absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS for short) has the advantages of non-contact, fast response, wavelength selectivity, and the like. The Direct Absorption Spectroscopy (DAS) in TDLAS has a clear physical concept and simple operation, is commonly used for measuring parameters such as concentration and temperature of gas, and is widely applied to a high-concentration and strong-absorption environment. For trace gas monitoring and weak absorption, more complex techniques such as Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) are often used.
The minimum detectable absorbance alpha of DAS when the length of the gas absorption cell is 1mminAbout 10-4~10-5The corresponding absorption coefficient kappa is about 10-6~10-7cm-1(ii) a For CRDS, the maximum and minimum values of κ are about 10, respectively-6~10-7cm-1And 10-11~10-13cm-1Therefore, the intersection of the measurement ranges of the two technologies is small, and the two technologies are suitable for measurement of gas with higher concentration and gas with lower concentration respectively. However, in practical measurements, the concentration of some gases may be in a wide rangeAnd sometimes even fluctuates dramatically. Monitoring H in the atmosphere of a high-rise building, for example on a moving aircraft2O, its concentration may vary from 1ppm to 1% and fluctuates sharply as the aircraft passes through clouds. Non-premixed CH in atmospheric environment4In laminar air flow flames, the CO concentration can vary from 1ppm to 4% at different heights in the flame. Engine exhaust gases (e.g., NO and CO) may range from 1ppm to 0.3% (NO) and 1ppm to 4% (CO) in a single engine cycle. HO of plasma effluents in plasma jet at atmospheric pressure2The radial distribution of the concentration also varies greatly. In these cases, it is difficult for a single method to respond quickly in such a wide concentration measurement range and to maintain high measurement accuracy over a wide range, and therefore it is necessary to consider a gas sensor having a wider range, high accuracy, and quick response. Some researchers consider a combination of the two methods, such as a combination of DAS and Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy (WMS). WMS is calibrated in real time by using the measurement result of DAS, and the water concentration on-line measurement with wide range and high precision can be realized. The combination of CRDS and laser induced fluorescence can realize real-time, wide-range and high-precision measurement of NOx in the atmosphere. Complementation of cavity enhanced absorption spectrum and CRDS (cyclic redundancy check) can also realize the N in the atmosphere2O5Real-time high-precision detection.
Based on the research, the invention combines DAS and CRDS to establish a gas concentration measuring method with wide range, high precision and no calibration. The method combines the advantages of DAS (rapid, wide-range and measurable absorption rate function) and CRDS (high precision), and the accurate cavity ring-down time tau can be directly calculated by the absorption rate measured by DAS and the ring-down time of the gas absorption0The calibration-free cavity ring-down time is realized, the measurement mode is simplified, and the measurement speed is improved.

ring down times τ and α (v)0) Substituting into formula (3) to obtain tau064.74 μ s, the standard deviation from the cavity ring-down time measured several times in the experiment was 0.007 μ s. The reflectivity of the first and second cavity mirrors of the ring down cavity is 0.999975, the cavity length is 0.5 m, and the theoretical cavity ring down time is 66.7 mus. The calculated and measured cavity ring-down time is different from the theory, because certain impurities exist in the cavity, and the loss of the cavity is increased due to water absorption, lens pollution and the like, so that the cavity ring-down time is smaller than the theoretical value. By using the calculated cavity ring-down time (64.74 μ s) and the measured ring-down time for the absorption of the trapped gas, the relative error between the obtained gas concentration and the gas concentration obtained in step 2) is not more than 0.05%.
4) By comparing the measurement accuracy of the gas concentration in the ring-down spectroscopy and the direct absorption spectroscopy, the computer 1 can intelligently select a result with higher measurement accuracy. As shown in fig. 6 and 7, in the case of long-time measurement, when the gas concentration is high (3650ppm to 1.09%), the accuracy of the direct absorption spectroscopy measurement is higher to 20 ppm; when the gas concentration is in the range crossing region (101 ppm-3650 ppm) of two spectral techniques, the precision of the two methods is the same to 10ppm, the measurement result of any method can be adopted, and the cavity ring-down time tau can be calculated in the region through the step 3)0As shown in fig. 8; when the gas concentration is low (4 ppm-101 ppm), the measurement precision of the ring-down spectroscopy is higher to 1ppm, and tau calculated in the range intersection region of the direct absorption spectroscopy and the ring-down spectroscopy is utilized0And the measured tau containing the gas absorption information is substituted into the formula (3) to obtain the gas concentration X. The measuring speed of the device can reach 0.1ms, the range can reach 4 ppm-1.09%, and the measuring precision is 1-20 ppm. As shown in fig. 9, the lower detection limit may be 35 ppb when the integration time is 25 s.
