TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to gas monitoring technology, especially relate to outdoor working formula gaseous nitrous acid analyzer. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a commonly used instrument, the gaseous nitrous acid (HONO) measuring instrument based on long optical path differential absorption spectroscopy technology (LOPAP) integrated wet chemical method is mainly affected by the interference in the atmosphere, including NO2, NO2+SO2, NO2+phenol and PAN, etc. Most of the current mainstream LOPAP commercial instruments use external sampling units to realize in-situ sampling absorption, and use double-channel sampling structure in series to eliminate related interference signals. Since the sampling unit is placed outdoors, how to realize stable and reliable temperature control of the absorption module in the outdoor environment with large temperature changes becomes an important technical difficulty.
[0003] At present, the HONO external sampling unit basically uses a circulating water bath to control the temperature of the absorption module, and the entire absorption tube adopts a double-layer glass sleeve structure, the inner layer is a combination structure of a double-channel glass spiral absorption tube and two gas-liquid separators, and the outer layer is controlled by circulating water bath. The disadvantages of this scheme are:
[0004] 1. The water bath method is not suitable for application scenarios below 0 DEG C and above 40 DEG C.
[0005] 2. When the ambient temperature fluctuates greatly in a short time, the temperature control precision is poor and the temperature control uniformity is poor.
[0006] 3. In the case of rapid change of ambient temperature, the absorption module is slow in temperature control.
[0007] 4. The integrated structure design of the glass spiral absorption tube and the gas-liquid separator is large in size.
[0008] 5. There is a risk of liquid leakage and poor reliability.
