Abstract

The invention relates to a non-dispersive infrared methane sensor, in particular to a long-optical-path and light-intensity-adjustable infrared methane gas sensor, solving the problem that the traditional non-dispersive infrared methane sensor can only measure methane gas with higher concentration (over 100 ppm). The long-optical-path and light-intensity-adjustable infrared methane gas sensor comprises an infrared emitter, a pyroelectric methane detector and a straight-tube air chamber, wherein the infrared emitter consists of an infrared light source and a spherical reflecting mirror and the pyroelectric methane detector is provided with a signal and reference window; a detector fixing connector and a plane reflecting mirror connector respectively cover two ends of the straight-tube air chamber; and two vent holes are formed on sidewalls on the two ends of the straight-tube air chamber. Compared with most of the traditional infrared gas sensors, the long-optical-path and light-intensity-adjustable infrared methane gas sensor has the outstanding characteristics that: the absorption optical path is greatly increased, meanwhile, the power consumption of the light source is indicated to be dispensable of significant increase by preliminary tests as corresponding optimization is carried out on the structure of the air chamber.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a non-dispersive infrared methane sensor, in particular to a long optical path and adjustable light intensity infrared methane gas sensor. Background technique [0002] At present, the direct detection method of detecting urban natural gas leakage on the ground without digging and covering soil is the most widely used method. Since urban natural gas pipelines are generally buried at a depth of 2-3m underground, the concentration of leaked natural gas is already very low when it diffuses to the surface. Therefore, the direct detection method requires the gas detector used to have a very low concentration measurement lower limit. [0003] The main component of natural gas is methane (CH 4 ), low-concentration methane detectors can be used to detect leaks in natural gas pipelines. Commonly used methane gas sensors, such as catalytic combustion and metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) gas-sensitive resistance methane gas sensors, can...
