Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to low temperature trapping trap device technical field especially relates to a low temperature trapping trap device for direct method non -methane total hydrocarbon analyzer. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, environmental air pollution problems have become the social problems that people pay more and more attention to. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pollution in the environment air not only affects human health, but also as a photochemical pollution precursor is an important factor causing ozone concentration exceeding standard. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) monitoring is generally divided into total monitoring and characteristic factor monitoring, wherein total monitoring takes total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and non-methane total hydrocarbon (NMHC) as environmental pollution evaluation index.

[0003] In the "HJ1013-2018 stationary sources of waste gas non-methane total hydrocarbon continuous monitoring system technical requirements and detection method", non-methane total hydrocarbon (NMHC) definition: under the conditions stipulated in HJ38 standard, the sum of other gaseous organic compounds (except otherwise specified, the result is calculated in carbon) that have response on hydrogen flame ionization detector. Non-methane total hydrocarbon monitoring has a long history in the field of environmental monitoring, and the methods are various, and most countries mainly use gas chromatography (difference method). In HJ38-2017 and HJ604-2017, it is stipulated that the detection principle of difference method: the gas sample is directly injected into the gas chromatograph with hydrogen flame ionization detector, and the content of total hydrocarbon and methane is measured on total hydrocarbon column and methane column respectively, and the difference between the two is the content of non-methane total hydrocarbon. The method defaults that the response value of oxygen on non-methane total hydrocarbon is constant, and the interference of oxygen on non-methane total hydrocarbon is excluded by deducting the absolute value of oxygen response, but the actual situation is that the interference of oxygen is not a simple cumulative relationship, and cannot be solved by directly deducting, which also leads to the negative value of non-methane total hydrocarbon monitored by difference method.

[0004] In 2018 Shanghai area "DB31 / T1090-2018 environmental air non-methane total hydrocarbon online monitoring technical specification" and 2021 China environmental protection station "environmental air non-methane total hydrocarbon continuous automatic monitoring technology regulation (trial)" file clearly stipulates that the analysis method of the instrument should adopt the direct method. The common direct method is column back flushing method and low temperature pre-concentration method: 1) column back flushing method uses carrier gas to carry the sample into the chromatographic column, when the methane peak is out, the valve is cut to make the chromatographic column reverse into the carrier gas, the remaining components except methane are back flushed out of the chromatographic column and detected by the detector, and the non-methane total hydrocarbon peak signal is generated; 2) adsorbent low temperature pre-concentration method pumps the sample into the quantitative ring and the low temperature trapping tube, and the sample in the quantitative ring enters the chromatographic column through valve cutting to generate oxygen peak and methane peak, the remaining components are discharged by back flushing, the low temperature trapping tube traps non-methane total hydrocarbon, and the non-methane total hydrocarbon peak is detected by the detector through rapid heating and thermal desorption. However, the existing two schemes cannot perfectly meet the requirements of the total station file. The column back flushing method cannot meet the requirements of the non-methane total hydrocarbon peak width and tailing factor due to the adsorption of the chromatographic column. The adsorbent low temperature pre-concentration method has high requirements for the low temperature trapping module, and the existing low temperature trapping module has the following defects: 1) the semiconductor refrigeration effect is poor, and generally only the temperature of the trapping module can be controlled at 0-10 DEG C. The continuous operation of the online instrument causes the refrigeration component to age rapidly, the cooling time is lengthened, the service life of the refrigeration component is shortened, if the compressor refrigeration is changed, the compressor has high energy consumption, large volume and is very heavy; 2) the adsorbent has poor adsorption and thermal desorption effect on low boiling point and polar organic matter; 3) condensate water is easy to appear around the trapping tube, and the poor waterproofness causes the heating component to be short-circuited, which has safety hidden danger; 4) condensate water is easy to appear on the surface of the trapping module due to poor heat preservation, and the internal trapping tube has poor cooling effect.
