[0002] In the technical field related to the utility model, the wide application of natural gas is of great significance in improving energy utilization efficiency, alleviating energy transportation pressure, reducing pollutant emissions, improving the atmospheric environment, and enhancing people's living quality. To ensure safe use, people usually add a small amount of strongly pungent gas to natural gas so as to give a timely warning in case of leakage. Tetrahydrothiophene has become a commonly used odorant for city gas because it is not easy to corrode gas equipment and does not cause habitual passivation of human olfaction, fully meeting the need for safety guarantee. At present, the commonly used detection methods for tetrahydrothiophene mainly include the following several kinds: 1. Electrochemical sensor method; 2. Gas chromatography method, which separates the substance to be detected and uses an ionization detector for detection; 3. High performance liquid chromatography method. It should be noted that when applying chromatography, not only the sample needs to be processed, but also conditions such as the temperature of the chromatographic column need to be set. In addition, chromatography usually requires carriers such as nitrogen or deionized water. Moreover, the relatively long separation time required for the chromatographic column to separate substances and the complexity of the operation make this method relatively cumbersome.

Inside the analyzer host 2, there are a UV light source 5 and a spectrometer 6 fixedly installed. There is an output structure installed inside the analyzer host 2.

[0017] In this embodiment, it is further set that the input structure includes a sintered filter 7 and a gas duct 8. The sintered filter 7 is connected to the output end of the sampling probe 1. The output end of the sintered filter 7 is connected to the input end of the gas duct 8.

[0018] In this embodiment, it is further set that the output structure includes an electronic flowmeter 9 and a sampling pump 10. The output end of the long optical path gas absorption cell 4 is connected to the input end of the electronic flowmeter 9. The output end of the electronic flowmeter 9 is connected to the input end of the sampling pump 10.

[0019] In this embodiment, it is further set that there is an input optical fiber 11 connecting the UV light source 5 and the long optical path gas absorption cell 4, and there is an output optical fiber 12 connecting the spectrometer 6 and the long optical path gas absorption cell 4.

[0022] The detailed connection means are well-known techniques in the art; as Figure 1 shown, natural gas enters the sintered filter 7 through the sampling probe 1.

At the same time, the main control board 3 receives the flow signal of the electronic flowmeter 9 from the sampling pump 10 and adjusts the power of the sampling pump 10 as needed to maintain a constant gas flow.

[0025] The main control board 3 also collects the pressure signal of the gas absorption cell to perform pressure correction on the concentration value of tetrahydrothiophene, thereby improving the accuracy of the analysis result.

[0028] During daily detection, the operator only needs to press the start button to automatically perform gas sampling and analysis, and the detection results can be viewed through the display screen 13 and the data management platform 14.
