Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods and devices for globally detecting the nature of the combustion gases with a view to optimizing the latter and applications of these devices.
  • Detectors comprising a layer of metallic phthalocyanine placed in contact with the gases resulting from a combustion, for example in contact with the fumes of a burner or the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine to globally measure the nature and the proportions of the combustion gases.
  • the electrical resistance of the phthalocyanine layer which is a semiconductor varies with the nature and proportions of the combustion gases, which depends on the respective proportions of air and fuel which combine in combustion.
  • Such a detector emits an electrical signal which generally depends on the mixture of gases contained in the combustion gases and which can be used to indicate the ratio between the quantity of air and fuel and / or to optimize this ratio when the signal delivered by the detector is used in a control loop which regulates the amount of air or the amount of fuel.
  • US Patent 4,381,922 describes combustion detectors comprising an insulating plate, electrodes deposited on this plate and a thin layer of an amorphous or crystalline metallophthalocyanine deposited between said electrodes, which is composed of ferrous, ferric phthalocyanine particles , Nickel, cobalt or copper, which have been suspended in a liquid solvent taken from the group of carbon tetrachloride, ether and acetone to be applied in a thin layer.
  • This patent teaches in particular that a copper or iron phthalocyanine, which has been suspended for 24 hours in carbon tetrachloride or in a chlorinated solvent gives rise to a compound whose electrical resistance is ten times lower than that of the same metallic phthalocyanine not treated with carbon tetrachloride or with a chlorinated solvent.
  • This patent also teaches the use of detectors comprising a sensitive layer of copper phthalocyanine, treated with ether to control the proper functioning of a burner.
  • the resistance variation curve as a function of the excess combustion air passes through a fairly flat minimum in the vicinity of the stoichiometric proportions and the detector can be used to regulate the admission of air to the burner.
  • phthalocyanines are p-type semiconductors.
  • water vapor is an electron donor gas which reduces the conductivity of phthalocyanine.
  • the positive charges are stabilized by water vapor and the number of positive carriers capable of ensuring conduction decreases.
  • the semiconductor can become n-type.
  • the gases produced by combustion in particular by the combustion of hydrocarbons necessarily contain water vapor which results of the combination of hydrogen from hydrocarbons with oxygen from the air.
  • US Patent 4,381,922 teaches that, when a phthalocyanine-based detector is used to control a burner in order to regulate the ratio between the quantities of air and of fuels, the detector is placed in a cell heated to a temperature of 95 ° C, to avoid condensation on the combustion water detector by keeping the burner at a temperature above the dew point.
  • detectors based on phthalocyanines are kept at a temperature above the dew point. In fact, if conductive water condenses on the detector, the electrodes of the latter are short-circuited and the electrical signal between the electrodes does not depend on the nature of the combustion gases.
  • U.S. Patent 4,381,922 teaches that one of the problems encountered when using phthalocyanine detectors is their sensitivity to atmospheric humidity. He teaches one way to solve this problem which is to add silica gel or a finely ground molecular sieve saturated with water in a mixture of phthalocyanines and carbon tetrachloride used to make the detectors.
  • the silica gel or molecular sieve powder then acts as a buffer which regulates and stabilizes the reaction to humidity of the detectors.
  • FIG. 10 of this same U.S. patent shows that the logarithm of the resistance of a detector obtained by this method passes through a minimum for a value of the excess of combustion air close to the stoichiometry but this minimum is relatively flat.
  • This flattening of the resistance variation curve near the minimum is due, in particular to the addition of silica gel or a molecular sieve which fix the water and which cause the resistance variations due to a change in composition of gases are masked by the action of water on phthalocyanines.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide new means which make it possible to use phthalocyanine-based detectors to globally detect the nature of the combustion gases which contain water vapor by eliminating the effects of this water vapor on the resistance of said phthalocyanines, which new means have the advantage, compared to known means, that the curve which represents the resistance variations of the detector as a function of the excess combustion air has a very acute minimum peak which coincides with an excess of air corresponding to the combustion optimum of the burner considered.
  • a method for globally detecting the nature of the gases produced by combustion comprises, in known manner, a detector comprising a layer of a metallic phthalocyanine placed between two electrodes which is arranged in the combustion gases and an electrical circuit which one connects to the electrodes between which an electrical signal is collected which varies as a function of the overall nature of the combustion gases, which itself varies as a function of the air / fuel ratio.
  • the objective of the invention is achieved by a process according to which curves of variation of the resistance of metallic phthalocyanine are plotted as a function of the inverse of the temperature thereof expressed in degrees Celsius for various hygrometric degrees of the gases , which curves have a point of convergence and said detector is maintained at a temperature above a minimum threshold, which may be slightly lower than the temperature corresponding to said point of convergence.
  • the phthalocyanine is copper phthalocyanine and the temperature of the detector is maintained above a minimum threshold substantially equal to 40 ° C.
  • the phthalocyanine is cobalt phthalocyanine and the temperature of the detector is maintained at a minimum threshold substantially equal to 30 ° C.
  • a detector according to the invention comprises, in a known manner, a plate made of an insulating material, on which are deposited two electrodes and a film of a metallic phthalocyanine connecting the two electrodes together.
  • the insulating plate also carries electrical heating resistors which are connected to a voltage source.
  • the phthalocyanine film is obtained by applying to said support a thin layer of a suspension of metal phthalocyanine particles in a solvent taken from the group of carbon tetrachloride, ether or acetone, in which has dissolved a very small amount of a hydrophobic material, preferably a liquid or solid alkane whose molecules contain more than ten carbon atoms, for example paraffin oil.
  • a hydrophobic material preferably a liquid or solid alkane whose molecules contain more than ten carbon atoms, for example paraffin oil.
  • the invention results in new detectors comprising a semiconductor layer of a metallic phthalocyanine connecting together two electrodes between which an electrical signal is collected which depends on the composition of the oxygenated gases resulting from combustion in contact with which the detector is placed and which does not depend on the water vapor content of said gases.
  • Phthalocyanines are very sensitive to water vapor which modifies the semiconductor of phthalocyanines by passing it from a p type (electron recipient) to an n type (electron donor).
  • the method according to the invention according to which the temperature of the point of convergence of the curves each representing the evolution of the resistance of a sample of a determined metallic phthalocyanine is determined, as a function of the inverse of the temperature expressed in degrees Celsius, when this phthalocyanine sample is placed in contact with a gaseous atmosphere having a determined hygrometric degree, and the detector made up of this phthalocyanine is kept at a temperature above a minimum threshold which is close to the temperature of said point of convergence and which can be slightly lower than this temperature, makes the detector insensitive to water vapor contained in the combustion gas and therefore to obtain an electrical signal representative of the composition of the combustion gases, which depends on the air / combustible.
  • the method according to the invention has the advantage that the phthalocyanine retains a high sensitivity to variations in the composition of the combustion gases and that the variation curve the resistance of phthalocyanine as a function of the excess air coefficient has a more acute minimum situated in the range of positive air excess coefficients and corresponding to the combustion burner optimum considered for a given load, that is to say for a given fuel flow. It therefore makes it possible to obtain a more precise regulation of combustion, that is to say to maintain the air / fuel ratio closer to the optimum of the burner.
  • the detector By keeping the temperature of the detector near or above the temperature of the point of convergence, the detector is made insensitive to the water vapor contained in the combustion gases, without seeking to avoid the condensation which does not occur if the temperature is higher than the dew point corresponding to the humidity of the combustion gases or if the partially condensed water is trapped.
  • FIG. 1 is a graph drawn up by the inventor which represents on the ordinate the resistance R expressed in ohms of a sample of copper phthalocyanine of type ⁇ and on the abscissa the inverse 1 / t of the temperature t ° of the sample expressed in degrees Celsius.
  • Phthalocyanine type ⁇ corresponds to the monoclinic crystallographic form.
  • This graph represents the resistance variation curves corresponding to different hygrometric degrees staggered between 10% and 70%.
  • This graph shows that, for a determined hygrometric degree, the resistance varies linearly according to the inverse of the temperature and decreases when the temperature increases. It shows that the lines corresponding to different hygrometric degrees are concurrent at a point, called point P of convergence, which corresponds to a value of 1 / t of the order of 0.023, that is to say a temperature of the order of 44 ° C.
  • the present invention is a practical application of this discovery to detectors based on phthalocyanines intended to emit an electrical signal which indicates the nature of the combustion gases charged with water vapor without being influenced by this humidity.
  • This application consists in constantly maintaining the detector at a temperature higher than a value slightly lower than the temperature of the point of convergence P defined by the curves of FIG. 1.
  • the temperature of the phthalocyanine is maintained above 40 ° C.
  • the graph in FIG. 1 shows that for 1 / t ⁇ 0.25, that is to say for t> 40 ° C., the variations in resistance due to variations in humidity of the order of 20% remain low and the electrical signal delivered by the detector is therefore disrupted to a negligible extent by the variations in humidity which are usually encountered.
  • Measurements of variation of the resistance as a function of the inverse of the temperature and the hygrometry carried out on a sample of phthalocyanine of cobalt monoclinic show that one also obtains straight lines which converge at a point which corresponds substantially to a temperature of 36 ° C and which are substantially confused for higher temperatures.
  • the temperature of the detector is kept above approximately 30 ° C. and the effect of a change in the hygrometric degree of the combustion gases becomes negligible.
  • FIG. 2 is a graph which represents the variations of the logarithm of the resistance R plotted on the ordinates of a sample of phthalocyanine of copper, cobalt or iron, maintained at a temperature higher than that of the point of convergence as a function of the coefficient d 'excess air E plotted on the abscissa;
  • FIG. 2 shows that the resistance of a detector composed of metallic phthalocyanine maintained at a temperature higher than a minimum determined according to the nature of the phthalocyanine and placed in contact with the gases of combustion decreases very rapidly when the excess of air increases in the zone corresponding to an air defect, passes through a minimum in the vicinity of optimal combustion, that is to say for slightly positive values depending on the burner and its load and increases again when the excess air increases.
  • FIG. 3 is a graph which represents values measured by means of a detector according to the invention in copper phthalocyanine, maintained at a temperature above 40 ° C. and placed in the fumes emitted by an industrial boiler burner, having a 9.3 MW power.
  • the dashed curve C1 represents the variations in the carbon monoxide (CO) content expressed in parts per million (ppm) as a function of the percentage of oxygen in the flue gases.
  • Curve C2 in solid lines represents the concomitant variations in the resistance expressed in mega-ohms of the detector. This graph shows that the resistance of the detector presents a very accentuated minimum for an excess of air of the order of 3% which corresponds to optimum combustion for which the carbon monoxide content reaches a value substantially zero.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show that a detector according to the invention placed in contact with the gases of combustion produces an electrical signal which varies very quickly as a function of the coefficient excess air. On the other hand, the signal does not vary or varies very little as a function of the hydrometric degree of the combustion gases.
  • This signal indicates the quality of combustion. It can be used, for example, to indicate whether a burner fitted to a boiler, an oven or any type of fireplace is operating in good conditions. In this case, it suffices to set a threshold higher than the minimum, to compare the signal emitted by the detector to this threshold and to trigger an alarm signal when this threshold is exceeded to warn the user that the burner is operating in bad conditions. conditions due to either a defect or an excess of air.
  • the signal delivered by a detector composed of metallic phthalocyanines placed in contact with the gases emitted by a combustion device, for example by a burner or by an internal combustion engine can also be used to automatically regulate the coefficient of excess air and to keep it around the optimal value corresponding to the minimum of the electrical resistance value.
