Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hazardous chemical gas leak monitoring technology, and particularly relates to an infrared gas cloud imager for VOC gas monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, explosions and poisonings caused by VOC gas leaks have occurred frequently, seriously threatening human life and environmental safety. The core needs of gas leak detection technology research and development focus on: rapid leak detection, accurate assessment of gas spatial distribution and diffusion trends, and accurate location of leak sources in order to take timely emergency measures.

[0003] With the development of thermal infrared passive imaging technology, infrared imaging detection technology for hazardous gas leaks has become the mainstream technology due to its advantages such as "high efficiency, long distance, large range, and dynamic intuitiveness." This type of technology is mainly divided into two categories: active imaging (based on laser light source radiation absorption) and passive imaging (based on background radiation absorption). Among them, passive spectral imaging technology is more suitable for dynamic leak monitoring due to its advantages of "rapid imaging and traceable diffusion patterns," but existing technologies still have significant shortcomings: Lack of dedicated systems: Existing gas leak imaging mostly uses general infrared detectors, combined with basic image processing to improve detection capabilities, but cooled detectors can only detect a single gas form and cannot perform concentration analysis; Multi-element detection is difficult: gas monitoring requires the simultaneous acquisition of "type, form, and concentration", which is difficult to achieve with existing technologies, especially in detecting multiple gases with infrared characteristic absorption peaks that are far apart. Insufficient sensitivity: Passive spectral imaging technology has lower sensitivity than active laser methods, and needs to be improved through optical optimization and algorithm improvement; Poor image processing targeting: Existing algorithms treat gas infrared images as ordinary infrared images, only performing noise suppression and target detection, without combining gas cloud features (shape, concentration distribution, diffusion motion) for optimization.

[0004] In summary, existing VOC gas monitoring methods cannot meet the "multi-factor, high stability, and low cost" requirements of high-risk scenarios.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, taking VOC leakage monitoring in a petrochemical plant as an example, the working process is as follows: Preheating: Press the power button 10 on the back of the housing 2, the power module 5 starts, the TEC cooling module 7 starts working, and the temperature of the infrared lens 32 drops to 0℃.

The leak point is located by combining the imaging location and the diffusion trend is simulated through time-series data, such as diffusion to a range of 50 meters after 1 hour. Abnormal alarm: When the concentration exceeds the threshold such as 500ppm or the leak point is close to a densely populated area, the system will automatically trigger an audible and visual alarm to remind staff to take emergency measures.
