Abstract

PURPOSE:To achieve a continuous measurement without delay by detecting a difference in the concentration of carbon dioxide as generated when a sample gas and a portion unburned contained in a comparison sample gas from which fine particles are removed are oxidized. CONSTITUTION:An exhaust gas led from an exhaust pipe P enters a sample passage 1 and a comparison sample passage 2. In the comparison sample passage 2, fine particles such as soot are trapped with a filter 3. Then, the sample passage 1 and the comparison sample passage 2 both enter a re-burning device 4 to be heated and fine particles, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon unburned are oxidized for carbon dioxide and steam. Thereafter, both the passages reach a carbon dioxide densitometer 9 via a capillary tube 5 for pressure adjustment, a backup filter 6, a pump 7 and a flowmeter 8 to detect a difference in concentration of carbon dioxide between the passages 1 and 2. An apparatus thus obtained is ideal for monitoring exhaust gases of a diesel engine and a boiler.

[Prior art] Currently, the filter weighing method is generally used to measure particulate matter emitted from diesel engines, etc., but it requires a long time to measure due to batch processing, and it is difficult to implement transient emission characteristics. It has drawbacks such as not being able to be measured in terms of time. Therefore, there is a strong desire to develop a continuous measuring device for diesel particulates with good time response, and several continuous particulate measuring devices have been developed so far. In the past, there was an optical transmissive grass densitometer, which measures the permeability of aerosol using a light source and a photodetector, and the same principle is used in the Hartridge method and the Opacimeter of the U.S. Department of Health and Hygiene (IJSPH5). However, since the absorption coefficient differs depending on the particle size, the obtained value is not a function only of the N amount concentration and has only a qualitative meaning. In addition, PAS (p

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the particulate measuring device of the present invention, when carbonaceous particulates such as soot contained in combustion exhaust gas are completely combusted, a change in carbon dioxide concentration occurs, but this concentration change is originally The method is characterized in that the concentration of fine particles is determined by being proportional to the concentration of contained fine particles. As an example, by continuously detecting the difference in carbon dioxide concentration that occurs when unburned components contained in a sample gas and a comparison sample gas from which particulates have been removed by a filter, etc., are oxidized, the filter It is possible to obtain measurement results that are highly correlated with the method. Furthermore, by using a carbon dioxide concentration meter with high detection sensitivity, it is possible to increase the accuracy of particle measurement relatively easily.

[Example] FIG. 1 shows an example of a configuration in which the particulate measuring device of the present invention is applied to diesel engine exhaust. In Figure 1,
The sample gas (exhaust gas) led from the exhaust pipe enters the sample flow path 1 and the comparative sample flow path 2. In the comparative sample flow path, particulates such as soot are collected by the filter 3. Next, both the sample flow path 1 and the comparison sample flow path 2 are connected to the reburner 4.
where it is heated to form particulates and carbon monoxide,
Unburned hydrocarbons are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water vapor. After that, both flow paths pass through the pressure adjustment cabilla 1 no tube 5, backup filter 6, pump 7, flow meter 8, etc., enter the carbon dioxide concentration meter 9, and enter the sample flow path 1.
and the difference in carbon dioxide concentration between the comparison sample channel 2 and the comparative sample flow path 2 is detected. In addition, since normally diesel engines contain several percent of oxygen in the exhaust even at maximum load, complete combustion can be achieved if a sufficiently high temperature is applied. Electricity was applied directly to the stainless steel tube. In addition to this, various methods using catalysts, microwaves, etc. can be considered in the reburner. Further, the carbon dioxide concentration meter 9 is a fluid modulation type non-dispersive infrared analyzer, and is capable of accurately measuring the concentration difference between the sample flow path and the comparison sample flow path.
