Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of gas sensor monitoring, and particularly to an environmental pressure compensation device and method for infrared gas analyzer under constant temperature conditions. BACKGROUND

[0002] The detection accuracy of a gas sensor is usually related to pressure under constant temperature conditions, and the instability of the pressure leads to a decrease in the accuracy of the sensor. When infrared light passes through a gas, the intensity of the incident light becomes weaker than that of the outgoing light, and the concentration of the gas is detected by measuring the energy difference. The compensation method commonly used at present is to perform corresponding algebraic operations on the collected gas concentration by using a mathematical model to output the corresponding gas concentration. When the atmospheric pressure changes, the gas in a unit volume is compressed, that is, the intermolecular distance of the gas changes, so that the energy absorbed by the infrared light increases, but the concentration of the gas does not change. Therefore, the measured concentration has a large deviation compared with the true value. When the pressure at the same place often changes in a large range or the pressure at the calibration site of the sensor and the pressure at the use site change greatly, the infrared gas analyzer needs to be pressure corrected, and the existing pressure compensation method cannot accurately analyze the concentration of the gas component to be detected.

[0056] Embodiment two

[0057] The infrared gas analyzer environmental pressure compensation method under constant temperature conditions is realized by using the infrared gas analyzer environmental pressure compensation device under constant temperature conditions in the embodiment one, wherein the range of the infrared gas analyzer 5 in this embodiment is 100ppm, and the preset measurement concentration of the measured gas is 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% of CH4 gas, and the steps include:

[0058] Step 1: the pressure value P c of the adjusting gas chamber 4 is measured by the first pressure sensor 16 in the adjusting gas chamber 4;

[0059] Step 2: when starting to measure, the standard state pressure value P0 of the second pressure sensor 13 in the working gas chamber 3 and the constant temperature control value T0 of the temperature sensor 11 are set, in this embodiment, P0=100kPa and T0=45℃;

[0062] Step 4, the PLC terminal control device 14 adjusts the pressure value P of the regulating air chamber 4 according to the obtained pressure value P. c After the standard pressure value P0, the PLC terminal control device 14 calculates the required regulating gas volume V, and controls the air pump 7 or air pump 8 in the regulating gas chamber 4 to work and regulate the pressure in the working gas chamber 3 to P0.

[0063] At the same time, the temperature in the working gas chamber 3 and the regulating gas chamber 4 is regulated by the constant temperature control device 12. When the temperature reaches the constant temperature state, that is, when the temperature data measured by the temperature sensor 11 reaches the constant temperature control value T0, the gas to be tested can be input into the infrared gas analyzer 5 through the gas inlet pipe 6 to measure the gas concentration.

[0064] Step 5: After the measurement is completed, the gas is vented through the gas outlet pipe 17.

[0065] In step 4, the calculation process of the PLC terminal control device 14 is as follows:

[0066] Step a, first determine the pressure difference to be compensated according to formula (1):

[0068] Where: ΔP is the pressure difference to be compensated, kPa; P0 is the standard state pressure value of the second pressure sensor 13, set in kPa; P c The pressure value of the regulating chamber 4 measured by the first pressure sensor 16, in kPa;

[0069] Step b, calculate the required volume of regulating gas V according to formula (8):

[0070]

[0071] Where: V is the required volume of the regulating gas, m 3 C represents the adjusting gas molar concentration, in mol / L; V t To adjust the standard gas volume, L / mol, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the Kelvin temperature, K, T = 273.15 + T0, T0 is the set constant temperature control value of temperature sensor 11, °C;

[0072] Specifically, formula (8) is calculated through the following steps:

[0073] From the ideal gas equations (2) and (3),

[0074] P c V = nRT (2)

[0075] T = 273.15 + T0 (3)

[0076] Where: P c V is the pressure value of the regulating gas chamber measured by the first pressure sensor 16, in kPa; V is the required regulating gas volume, in m³. 3 n is the number of moles of the regulating gas, in mol; R is the ideal gas constant, R = 8.13; T0 = 45℃, T = 318.15K;

[0077] have to:

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] because:

[0081]

[0082] n = CV t (7)

[0083] In equations (6) and (7): C is the molar concentration of the regulating gas, mol / L; V t To adjust the standard volume of the gas, m 3 ;

[0084] but:

[0085]

[0086] In this embodiment, C = 0.045 mol / L, V t =1m 3 R = 8.13, T = 318.15K. Substituting these values ​​into equation (8), we get...

[0087] In step 1 of this embodiment, the first pressure sensor 16 in the regulating chamber 4 measures the pressure value P of the regulating chamber 4. c The pressures are 80 kPa, 85 kPa, 90 kPa, 95 kPa, 105 kPa, 110 kPa, 115 kPa, and 120 kPa, respectively. Based on the measured pressure value P of the regulating chamber 4... c ΔP is calculated using formula (1), and the required volume of regulating gas V is calculated using formula (8). The calculation results are shown in Table 1.

[0088] Table 1. Required volume of regulating gas V for working chamber pressure regulation

[0089]

[0090] Step c: The PLC terminal control device controls the air pump 7 or the air pump 8 to fill or evacuate the working gas chamber according to the required adjustment gas volume V calculated in step b, and adjust the working gas chamber pressure to P0 (P0 = 100 kPa).

[0093]

[0094] Comparative Example

[0095] The infrared gas analyzer 5 was kept at a constant temperature of 45℃, and the pressure value P of the gas chamber 4 was adjusted. c Similar to Example 2, without pressure compensation, the actual CH4 concentration measured by the infrared gas analyzer 5 is shown in Table 3.

[0096] Table 3. Actual CH4 concentration measured by an infrared gas analyzer without pressure compensation.

[0097]

[0098] As can be seen from Embodiment 2 and the comparative example of the present invention, the actual measured gas concentration value of the infrared gas analyzer 5 after pressure compensation in Embodiment 2 converges towards the standard gas concentration value, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of the infrared gas analyzer.

[0099] This invention constructs a pressure compensation device and method for measuring gas concentration values ​​using an infrared gas analyzer 5 under different pressure environments at constant temperature. Simultaneously, the ambient pressure during the calibration of the infrared gas analyzer 5, i.e., the standard state pressure value P0 = 100 kPa set by the second pressure sensor 13, the constant temperature condition T0 = 45℃, and the gas concentrations to be measured at 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% of the full scale of the infrared gas analyzer 5, are selected as reference benchmarks for pressure compensation. Pressure compensation is performed on gases under different ambient pressure conditions, correcting the deviation in the measured gas concentration values ​​of the infrared gas analyzer 5 caused by changes in ambient pressure. This allows the testing accuracy of the infrared gas analyzer 5 to converge towards the standard gas concentration value, thereby achieving the effect of pressure compensation. The embodiments of this invention provide a pressure compensation device and method for measuring CH4 using an infrared gas analyzer 5. In practical applications, the same compensation can be performed on infrared gas analyzers measuring other gases, which will not be elaborated further here.

The temperature sensor transmits the measured ambient temperature data and the constant temperature control value T0 set in step 2 to the signal transmission device, and the signal transmission device transmits the ambient temperature data and the constant temperature control value T0 to the PLC terminal control device. Step 4, the PLC terminal control device determines the pressure value P of the regulating air chamber based on the obtained pressure value P. c After the standard pressure value P0 is obtained, the required regulating gas volume V is calculated by the PLC terminal control device. The PLC terminal control device controls the air pump or air pump in the regulating gas chamber to regulate the pressure in the working gas chamber to P0. Meanwhile, the temperature in the working gas chamber and the regulating gas chamber is adjusted by the constant temperature control device. When the temperature reaches the constant temperature state, that is, when the temperature data measured by the temperature sensor reaches the constant temperature control value T0, the gas to be tested can be input into the infrared gas analyzer through the gas inlet pipe for gas concentration measurement. Step 5: After the measurement is completed, the gas is vented through the gas outlet tube.
