Description

Laser imaging leak detection system and method
The present invention relates to a kind of leak hunting method and device, particularly relate to a kind of laser imaging leak detection system and method that the method that adopts laser imaging is hunted leak to large-scale instrument and equipment
The existing leak hunting method that uses is broadly divided into four classes: pressure detection method, vacuum detecting method, gas detection method and ultrasonic Detection Method, as: list of references [1] Zhang Danhua, Xiao Shengyi translates: " sensor application ", [day] automatic technology editorial office, China Measuring Press, 1992.Wherein the gas detection method is better than other three class methods.In the gas detection method, commonly used have halogen detection method, temperature conductivity detection method and a helium detector etc.The leak detection sensitivity of this four classes leak hunting method is different, and the sensitivity that has is lower, and what have is higher, and the sensitivity of gas detection method all can reach year slip less than 1 gram, and wherein helium leak detector sensitivity is higher.Most widely used in the above-mentioned gas leak detection method is the halogen detection method, and the employed halogen gas sensor construction of halogen detection method as shown in Figure 1.The halogen detection method is that the platinum with heating serves as anodal 7, disposes negative pole 8 in its vicinity, pot 9, and well heater 10, heater power source 11 if form current potential, just has faint electric current to flow.But if there is halogen gas, then positive ion increases, and electric current increases.The halogen gas sensor utilizes this phenomenon to measure.The sensitivity of sensor is determined by gas concentration.Because of gas constantly spreads in air, along with the prolongation of time, sensitivity will descend, so leak detection sensitivity differs greatly according to the difference of using method.The common shortcoming of above-mentioned four class leak hunting methods is: (1). testing staff's labour intensity is big during leak detection, when taking a lot of work, has a strong impact on the progress of whole work.(2). they all can not position leak detection, and especially in multinode leak detection process, above-mentioned four class leak hunting methods are difficult to provide the definite position of leakage.
The object of the invention is to overcome the shortcoming and defect of above-mentioned prior art, in order to save time, alleviate when leak detection testing staff's labour intensity, increase work efficiency, make that labour intensity leak detection work big and when taking a lot of work becomes easily, labour intensity is little, the hi-tech testing of good economy performance; Secondly, in order accurately to detect the definite position of leakage, improve accuracy of measurement; And further for realize large-area once the leak detection, thereby a kind of leak detection system and method that adopts laser imaging is provided.
