摘要: 氨作为典型的零碳富氢燃料, 其规模化应用有助于实现高温工业的源头脱碳。然而, 氨燃料反应活性低、稳燃范围窄, 在高通量来流条件下易发生脱火, 导致显著的氨逃逸。此外, 在选择性催化还原过程中, 过量喷氨也是氨逃逸的主要来源。本文利用中心波长为10.4 μm (962.15 cm−1 )的量子级联激光器和自研紧凑型单程高温气体池(T =120 ℃, P = 30 kPa), 开发了一套面向高温痕量氨逃逸检测的中红外光谱系统。首先, 基于直接吸收光谱技术测量了不同体积分数的氨气(NH3)标气在四种典型伴随气(N2、air、Ar、20%H2O)中的吸收特征, 并采用Voigt函数线型拟合获取目标气体吸收特征, 验证了光谱参数的可靠性。随后, 采用波长调制光谱技术测量低体积分数的NH3 , 利用一次谐波归一化二次谐波(2f /1f )的方法抑制非吸收因素及背景噪声引起的信号波动, 通过建立谐波信号峰值与气体体积分数的关系, 确定了系统的线性响应特性。实验结果表明, 通过直接吸收光谱技术测量体积分数为100 cm3 /m3 的NH3的测试误差≤2.1%; 波长调制光谱技术可实现最低体积分数为1 cm3 /m3 的NH3检测; 艾伦偏差分析显示, 在13 s积分时间下, 该系统对NH3的检测下限为0.02 cm3 /m3 。

Abstract: Ammonia is a typical zero-carbon, hydrogen-rich fuel. Its large-scale application can achieve decarbonization at the source of high-temperature industry. However, ammonia fuel has low reactivity and a narrow stable combustion range, making it prone to significant ammonia escape due to misfiring under high-throughput fuel flow conditions. In addition, excessive ammonia injection also constitutes a major source of ammonia escape during the selective catalytic reduction stage. This study employs a quantum cascade laser with a center wavelength of 10.4 μm (962.15 cm−1 ) and a self-developed compact single-pass high-temperature gas cell (T = 120 ℃, P = 30 kPa) to develop a mid-infrared spectroscopic gas detection system for high-temperature trace ammonia escape. Firstly, based on direct absorption spectroscopy (DAS), the absorption characteristics of ammonia (NH3) standard gases with various volume fractions in four typical background gases (N2, air, Ar, and 20%H2O) are measured, and the Voigt line fitting method is applied to extract absorption information correlated with gas concentration, thereby verifying the feasibility of the spectral parameters. Subsequently, wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) is adopted for low-volume-fraction NH3 measurement, with the second-harmonic-normalized-by-first-harmonic (2f /1f) method used to suppress signal fluctuations induced by non-absorption effects and background noise. The linear response characteristics of the system are then determined by establishing the correlation between the harmonic signal peak and the gas volume fraction. The experimental results show that, using DAS to measure NH3 with a volume fraction of 100 cm3 /m3 in different background gases, the measurement error is ≤ 2.1%, and using WMS technology enables NH3 detection with a minimum volume fraction of 1 cm3 /m3 . And Allan deviation analysis indicates that the detection limit of the system for NH3 is 0.02 cm3 /m3 at an integration time of 13 s.
