Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of gas emission detection, and is particularly suitable for monitoring CO2 emissions from power plants, online detection of factory waste gas emissions or emissions of a certain component, and specifically, is a device and method for detecting gas flow velocity in large-diameter pipes based on a honeycomb structure. Background Art

[0002] The primary and secondary air speeds and volumes used in peak-shaving power plants, carbon dioxide emissions from factories or installations, and atmospheric environmental governance emissions are all subject to the challenge of inaccurate gas flow measurement in large-diameter pipelines. While domestic measurement optimization is currently being pursued through multi-point measurement technology, such as the utility model patent "A Flowmeter for Multi-Point Measurement in Large-Diameter Pipelines" (CN201920544655.3), which utilizes multi-point, multi-unit measurement to more comprehensively measure the average flow velocity within the pipeline, and is used in conjunction with a differential pressure transmitter, display instrument, or computer, it can measure fluid flow within large-diameter pipelines. This is more accurate and reliable than conventional single-point flowmeters, but because large-diameter wind speed is affected by the channel diameter and the flow field varies across the entire cross-section due to numerous factors, the measured flow or velocity error remains between 5% and 10%. In addition, "Flowmeter Suitable for Large-diameter Pipeline Flow Measurement" (Publication No.: CN108318090B) uses a multi-stage combined rectifier to study and achieve a better rectification effect by using a multi-stage contraction combined rectification method. It can also achieve a good flow velocity distribution profile without a straight pipe section, greatly improving the measurement accuracy of large-diameter flow. The flow measurement accuracy of this device can reach within ±2.5%, but its pressure loss is between 17% and 35%. For large-diameter flow, more power is required to achieve it, and the power of the fan needs to be greatly increased. Summary of the Invention

Several of the fixed frames are fixedly installed in the large-diameter pipe for measuring the gas flow rate; and the several fixed frames are at different heights within the large-diameter pipe for measuring the gas flow rate.
