NO–CO Monitoring Technique Using Ultraviolet Absorption Spectroscopy and Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy in High-Temperature and High-Pressure

Abstract

The single parameter detection of temperature (H₂O) is no longer sufficient for the absorption combustion diagnosis. There is a huge demand for simultaneous computed tomography (CT) diagnosis of multi-parameters. This paper studied CO and NO, two representative combustion products based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) and ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy (UVAS). Different from the research on low detection limits, the absorbance needs to be corrected in high-temperature and high-pressure conditions due to the equipment performance of the CT system. A high-temperature and high-pressure chamber system was applied for the basic absorbance experiment. The corrected absorbance databases of 2325.2/2326.8 nm for CO, and 215/226 nm band for NO were established. The corrected absorbance databases were first compared with the HITRAN and ExoMol databases. The accuracy of the corrected databases was also analyzed by standard gas with 1D detection in the high-temperature and high-pressure chamber and two-dimensional (2D) reconstruction in a customed CT cell. The maximum CO mean relative error (MRE) of the 2D results is 2.75% while the maximum NO MRE is 4.99%. This study provides a basis for research on the CO and NO distribution in high-temperature and high-pressure combustion fields.
