Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of measuring the exhaust pollutants of an aero-engine, and particularly relates to a system and a method for measuring multiple components of pollutants of an aircraft in situ. BACKGROUND
[0002] The pollutants (such as CO, CO2, NOx, etc.) emitted by an aircraft engine are not only an important source of atmospheric pollution, but their emission characteristics are also the core indicators for performance optimization, airworthiness certification, and compliance verification of emission regulations of a civil aircraft engine. The current airworthiness standard stipulates that the pollutant measurement method mainly uses sampling measurement technology, that is, the exhaust gas is collected by a sampling rake and then transported to a gas analyzer (such as a CO and CO2 analyzer based on the NDIR principle, a NOx analyzer based on the chemical luminescence principle, etc.) through a gas path. Although this technology has been maturely applied, it has significant limitations in the dynamic emission scene of an aero-engine: (1) Systematic errors of sampling measurement are difficult to avoid During the sampling process, the high-temperature exhaust gas may change in composition when being transmitted through the gas path, such as condensation, adsorption, chemical reaction, etc. For example, insufficient heating of the gas path may cause water vapor to condense and adsorb acidic gases (such as NOx), thereby making the measured value lower; the chemical action between the pipe material and the exhaust gas may change the component ratio. Such errors cannot be calibrated by standard gas, and seriously affect the reliability of the emission data.
[0003] (2) Dynamic response lag restricts real-time monitoring When an aircraft engine switches between take-off, cruising, and landing conditions, the exhaust gas composition changes dramatically. However, the sampling measurement is limited by the transmission delay (~s) of the gas path and the response speed of the instrument, and the measurement result often lags behind the actual emission state, which cannot capture the pollutant emission characteristics in the transient operating condition, and may cause key data loss for engine combustion optimization control (such as combustion stability adjustment).
[0004] (3) Multiple component measurement efficiency and cost are high The traditional scheme needs to combine multiple single-component analyzers (such as CO, CO2, and NOx analyzers), which not only has a large equipment volume, but also requires independent calibration (at least once a day) for each instrument, which is complicated to operate. In the multi-condition cycle test of airworthiness certification, frequent calibration and sampling change seriously affect the test efficiency.
[0005] (4) Urgency of in-situ measurement technology for aviation application In-situ measurement technology (such as laser absorption spectroscopy) has proved its advantages in power plant flue gas and automobile exhaust monitoring: direct measurement at the source of emission, avoiding sampling errors; millisecond response speed adapting to dynamic working conditions; simultaneous measurement of multiple components simplifying system structure. However, the high temperature (tailpipe temperature > 800℃), high flow rate and strong vibration environment specific to the aviation field pose severe challenges to the high temperature resistance and optical stability of the in-situ measurement system. Currently, there is no research combining the TDLAS (tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy) based in-situ measurement system with the sampling system certified by airworthiness, realizing joint measurement and mutual calibration comparison, and it is still not possible to use the above in-situ measurement advantages of TDLAS to provide more accurate measurement results for airworthiness certification.
[0006] In summary, the development of a coupled system with in-situ measurement real-time and sampling measurement can provide real-time comparison and calibration for the sampling measurement system using in-situ measurement, which is the key to breaking through the bottleneck of precise measurement of engine pollutants. This technology not only provides transient data support for engine combustion optimization, but also establishes a new measurement standard suitable for airworthiness certification through interactive verification of the dual system, filling the technical gap in the current field of aviation emission monitoring.
