Technical field
The utility model belongs to Industrial Engineering control and gas parameter analysis field; Be specifically related to a kind of self-alignment laser absorption spectrum trace amount gas parameter analytical equipment.
Background technology
The parameter analysis of emission gases is an important step of Industrial Engineering control; Such as production fields such as the burning control of waste incineration, thermal power generation, petrochemical industry, metallurgy, cement, the parameter measurement of emission gases is optimization production and the gordian technique that cuts down the consumption of energy especially.Traditional measuring method need be extracted a part of gas out from working environment, utilize physics and chemistry to purify, purify, analyze; Process complexity, measurement cost height, real-time is bad.The semi-conductor laser absorption spectrum technology is a kind of emerging gas measuring method, owing to advantages such as it have sensitive height, and selectivity is good, the response time is fast, is widely used in fields such as environment measuring, atmospheric science, trace analysis; It is the most promising a kind of technology in industrial process trace gas analysis field.
The ultimate principle of semi-conductor laser absorption spectrum technology is the absorption of being excited of gas; Beam of laser is passed tested gas, and when certain absorption line centre frequency of wavelength and tested gas of laser instrument was identical, gas molecule (atom) can absorb photon and transit to high level; Showing, is exactly the energy attenuation of laser.The energy attenuation of laser can be described by the Beer-Lambert law:
I
v=I
v,0exp[-S(T)g(v-v′
0)PρL] (1)
Wherein, I
V, 0And I
vRepresent that respectively frequency is the light intensity of the laser of v by absorption gas front and back, S (T) expression gas absorption spectrum line line strength in the time of temperature T, g (v-v '
0) be the linear function of this absorption line of gas, P is an air pressure, and ρ is a gas concentration, and L is work light path (laser passes the length of gas).At pressure P, the light path L of known gas, work temperature, line strength S (T), linear function g (v-v '
0) under the situation, measure I
V, 0And I
vValue can be calculated the concentration of gas.Because the absorption line of gas is by the gas atom structures shape, the absorption line difference of gas with various; Therefore theoretically, other gases do not influence measuring in the working environment.
Tunable laser diodes absorption spectrum gas analysis instrument is the modal gas analysis instrument that adopts the semi-conductor laser absorption spectrum technology.Referring to accompanying drawing 1, (0~t in a work period
0Constantly), its course of work is as follows: at first guarantee laser works temperature T on certain specific working point
0(accompanying drawing 1a) guarantees the initialization wavelength X of laser instrument
Min(accompanying drawing 1c); Change the working current i (accompanying drawing 1b) of laser diode then, make it from i
MinBe increased to i
Max, the laser diode operation wavelength is by λ
MinTo λ
MaxLinear change (accompanying drawing 1c); When wavelength is not in tested gas absorption scope spectral line, be not excited absorbing phenomenon, the laser intensity of this moment can be used as I
V, 0(accompanying drawing 1d) when length scanning during by tested gas absorption scope spectral line, will be absorbed decay, and the light intensity of this moment is then as I
v, length scanning will obtain two light intensity parameters after once, it measures the pressure P and the work temperature of gas with adding sensing again, add line strength S (T) and linear function g (v-v '
0) scheduling theory value and known work light path L just can calculate tested gas concentration.Obviously, the accuracy of measurement depend on P, T, S (T), g (v-v '
0), the isoparametric accuracy of L, so actual surveying instrument all needs to utilize the gas of normal concentration to demarcate.There are the following problems for this method:
1, demarcate difficulty, be difficult to guarantee high measurement accuracy
By formula (1) as seen, the factor that influences measuring accuracy is very many, and wherein the measuring accuracy of P, T is limited by the precision and the point position of sensor, S (T) and g (v-v '
0) precision be limited by the precision of international standard HITRAN database itself.Studies show that for some gas, the error of HITRAN database may reach 2%~5%, this problem has had a strong impact on the application of this method in high-acruracy survey.
Usually adopt the method for periodic calibrating to improve measuring accuracy.One, equipment need leave the working site and regularly send producer's demarcation back to, and is very inconvenient; Two, demarcate and also just under normal temperature, normal pressure, carry out, can not contain all working temperatures and pressure, demarcation accuracy of (particularly in the high temperature and high pressure situation) under different temperatures and pressure also can not get guaranteeing like this.
2, need the accurate working temperature of measuring and controlling laser diode
In the tunable laser diodes absorption spectrum gas analysis instrument, the operation wavelength of the corresponding laser diode of the horizontal ordinate of absorption spectrum (wavelength or frequency), the ordinate correspondence be the light intensity of laser.The absorption line of common tested gas is very many, determine to record the sequence number of spectral line, and the wavelength of laser diode has played the effect of a wavelength standard; Promptly measure (referring to accompanying drawing 1d) after the absorption spectra, the wavelength that must record laser diode simultaneously could be determined spectral line sequence number (referring to accompanying drawing 1c), so according to theoretical value obtain corresponding S (T) and g (v-v '
0) two parameters.Because the restriction of cost can not be provided with an accurate wavemeter in the instrument; Can only calculate wavelength with the working temperature and the working current of laser diode; For laser diode, temperature is very big to the influence of wavelength, therefore, obtain optical maser wavelength information accurately, need do the requirement of high-precision temperature survey (requiring usually to reach 0.0001 ℃).In addition, the intensity difference of every absorption line of gas, accompanying drawing 2 and accompanying drawing 3 are near certain gas absorption spectra line charts 1580nm, ordinate among the figure is logarithmic coordinate, represent spectral line absorption intensity S (T) under the normal temperature, the adjacent spectral line R45 of the 0.1nm of as seen being separated by and the intensity of P5 can differ to 5 orders of magnitude; The absorption line (see accompanying drawing 2) of while in order to avoid other interference gas, in actual measurement, need guarantee that laser diode is in specific temperature working point, to guarantee that its wavelength is in certain specific scope, and then guarantee when changing laser works electric current realization length scanning, can inswept sequence number to be the spectral line of P5; Therefore this method needs accurately control laser diode working temperature, requires to reach 0.001 ℃ repeatability and 0.01 ℃ control accuracy usually.High like this temperature survey and control requirement have increased the difficulty and the manufacturing cost of instrument greatly.
3, complex structure
For surveying work gas temperature and pressure, need in the whole instrument system unnecessary temperature and pressure sensor is set, in circuit, also control corresponding and disposal system to be set; Add above-mentioned laser temperature measurement and control device, it is quite complicated that the structure of whole instrument seems, reduced reliability.
