Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of gas detection, in particular to a high-resolution photoacoustic spectroscopy gas detection system and method based on optical frequency comb frequency calibration.
Background
The ultra-sensitive detection technology for the decomposition products of sulfur hexafluoride electrical equipment is an important means for troubleshooting potential faults of electrical equipment (such as transformers, circuit breakers, gas insulated metal enclosed switchgear, mutual inductors, capacitors and the like) and ensuring the operation safety of the equipment. The decomposition product of sulfur hexafluoride electrical equipment refers to H generated after chemical reaction of sulfur hexafluoride SF6 gas or solid insulating material in the electrical equipment2S、HF、SO2、CF4、CO、CO2、C3F8、 SO2F2、SOF2And the like. Because the components of the fault characteristic gas of the electrical equipment are complex and have different contents, strict requirements are put forward on the characteristics of gas identification or distinguishing capability (selectivity), sensitivity and accuracy of a gas detection technology, detectable gas types and the like.
Currently, the commonly used gas detection means include the following.
1) An electrochemical method. The technology utilizes the electrochemical reaction of the gas to be measured to convert the concentration change of the gas to be measured into a sensing measuring device with potential or current change. Gas detectable objectMainly comprises H2S、HF、SO2、CF4And CO. The method has high sensitivity, but needs to be in direct contact with the gas to be detected, is easy to corrode, and is easy to limit the dynamic range of the types of the detectable gases and the detectable concentration.
2) Gas detection tube method. Gas to be detected is introduced into a transparent tube filled with a chemical reagent, and the color of the reagent is changed through chemical reaction, so that the information such as the concentration of the gas is determined. The detectable gas object mainly comprises H2S、HF、SO2、CF4And CO. The method is convenient to use, but cannot realize accurate quantitative analysis, has limited measurement sensitivity and precision, and cannot distinguish mixed complex gas samples.
3) A gas chromatograph. And analyzing and detecting different components in the mixed gas by utilizing a chromatographic principle. The detectable gas object mainly comprises H2S、SO2、CF4、CO、CO2、C3F8、 SO2F2、SOF2. The method has high detection sensitivity, can detect all kinds, but needs a complex gas sample preparation process, and is time-consuming in detection, namely, poor in timeliness.
4) Gas spectroscopy. Based on Lambert beer's law, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the species and concentration of different gases can be carried out by using the absorption line intensity of gas molecules. The method can detect various gas types, and can realize simultaneous non-contact detection. At present, the following gas absorption spectrum detection technologies are mainly used.
a) Tunable semiconductor laser absorption spectroscopy (i.e., TDLAS) based on frequency modulation. The absorption spectrum is obtained by tuning the wavelength (or frequency) of the laser and detecting the transmitted light intensity transmitted through the absorption cell point by point. The gas cell with long optical path is combined, the measurement sensitivity is high, the precision is high, the resolution is high, but the measurement speed is extremely slow, the detection gas type is limited, and the cost is high.
b) Differential absorption spectroscopy (i.e., DOAS). The substance concentration measurement is achieved by using the differential absorption of light by the sample. Its advantages are simultaneous measurement of multiple trace gases, but its technique is limited to the gas molecules with narrow absorption lines in the measured band, and its monitoring system is affected by the moisture in the environment.
c) Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS). The gas sample is injected by using an infrared wide-spectrum light source, sample molecules are excited to a high-energy state after absorbing light energy, and the generated heat energy is released in a sound wave mode of specific frequency and is received by a microphone. The method can be used for detecting the concentration of the gas which is obviously absorbed in the infrared light source emission spectrum range, and the selection of the spectrum range can be realized through the filter plate. However, the PAS technology does not precisely calibrate the frequency of the excitation light, and therefore lacks the optical frequency measurement characteristic, so that the difficulty in detecting and distinguishing the gas with a relatively close absorption spectrum line is high, that is, the problem of cross sensitivity is not solved, and the selectivity is poor, so that the gas concentration is difficult to be precisely measured.
In summary, compared with other methods, the gas spectrum measurement method has the advantages of non-contact, no need of gas preparation, safety of detection mode and the like, but has problems in the aspects of gas resolution, sensitivity, waveband selectivity and the like. Particularly, the photoacoustic spectrum PAS technology with high detection sensitivity has no background noise interference, and the intensity of the ultrasonic signal can directly reflect the amount of light energy absorbed by a substance, so that the influence of light reflection and scattering is not easily caused, but the defects caused by a wide-spectrum infrared light source, such as low quantitative analysis accuracy caused by the failure to realize the frequency calibration of exciting light, poor resolution capability of mixed gas and other technical bottlenecks, need to be effectively avoided.
