Method and system for synchronously testing response characteristics and thermodynamic parameters of gas sensor
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of performance test systems of gas sensors, in particular to a method and a system for synchronously testing response characteristics and thermodynamic parameters of a gas sensor.
Background
The detection principle of the catalytic combustion type sensor depends on the combustion heat release of the gas to be detected, and the released heat is converted into the change of resistance by the thermosensitive element so as to reflect the concentration value of the gas. However, the emitted heat may have a higher temperature under normal conditions, which affects the performance of the sensor, for example, methane gas is used as an example, the methane catalytic combustion sensor is widely applied to monitoring gas under a mine, the sensor has a mature process and a low cost, but in a high-temperature catalytic condition and a severe downhole environment, the performance of the sensor is very easy to degrade, and frequent calibration is required. Therefore, the working temperature of the catalytic methane sensor is the main reason influencing the long-term working of the sensor, and when the performance of the manufactured sensor is tested, if the corresponding temperature change can be obtained along with the response change of the sensor, the verification and the improvement of the sensor process are very facilitated. At present, a detection device for the performance of a catalytic combustion type sensor element generally adopts an empty box structure, so that the operation is convenient, however, the structure has larger volume and higher cost, and the waste of test gas is serious; an infrared radiation camera is generally adopted for thermodynamic parameter testing of the sensor element and is used for non-contact measurement of the element, and the method is mature but too simple, can only test the temperature of the element at a certain moment and cannot obtain the real-time performance of the sensor element in time, so that the reliability of a gas detection system is reduced; and no research has been shown at present to detect temperature changes and response changes simultaneously; in order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a method and a system for synchronously testing response characteristics and thermodynamic parameters of a gas sensor.
