Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for measuring a concentration of at least one component of a process gas with a laser, the beam path of the laser crossing a volume containing the process gas.
- Measuring methods and devices are known for determining the concentration of individual components of a gas mixture, which are determined using a laser for laser spectroscopic measurements.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of an improved method and an improved device for carrying out laser spectroscopic measurements of the concentration of the components of a
- the suitability of the invention being particularly important for large volumes of dust-laden process gases.
- the object is achieved in that the beam path partly leads freely through the process gas and partly shields itself from the process gas, with only the part of the beam path that leads freely through the process gas being provided as a measuring section for a spectroscopic measurement of exactly one absorption line.
- This has the advantage that, compared to a spectroscopic measurement that measures an area (scanning method), the accuracy of the measurement is significantly increased.
- a so-called single-line spectroscopy is used. Therefore, a laser is advantageously used, the wavelength of which is fixed or can be fixed to a specific, selected value, which is also precisely observed.
- an infrared laser with a precisely defined wavelength is used to determine carbon monoxide.
- scanning lasers that is to say lasers which measure (scan) a wavelength range according to a predetermined sequence, are not suitable for the high accuracy which is an object of the present invention. Due to the definition of only one frequency, continuous automatic calibration of the laser is possible without any other aids. In contrast, scanning lasers require one or more reference gas cells in order to continuously calibrate the laser using these gases.
- the shielding of the beam path is preferably designed as a hollow body.
- Means are particularly preferably provided in the area of the shielding for feeding in a purge gas which serves to displace the process gas from the shielding, in particular from the interior of the hollow body.
- a purge gas which serves to displace the process gas from the shielding, in particular from the interior of the hollow body.
- Nitrogen for example, is very suitable as the purge gas.
- Inert gases are also generally considered suitable. The suitability of a gas as a purge gas depends u. a. depending on which component of the process gas the concentration is to be determined.
- the shield is tubular.
- the shielding is particularly advantageous as a water-cooled lance executed. This embodiment enables the device according to the invention for measuring the concentration to be used without problems even in process gases which have a very high temperature.
- the shield has a heat-resistant and / or acid-resistant material.
- the shield preferably has a ceramic material. These materials also enable problem-free use of the device according to the invention under difficult conditions, for example in the presence of acidic components in the process gas.
- the shield is attached to the laser at the beginning of the beam path and in front of a detector which is hit by the laser radiation, as a result of which the measuring path is limited by the shield from both sides.
- This configuration has the advantage, among other things, that any existing edge effects (effects in the edge region of a gas volume) are hidden from the measurement. Disruptive edge effects can occur, for example, in a flowing process gas.
- the task is solved in that the beam path leads partly freely through the process gas and partly shields itself from the process gas, whereby only the part of the beam path that leads freely through the process gas is referred to as the measuring section and for a spectroscopic measurement of the concentration with the help of the laser, in which exactly one absorption line is determined.
- the method designed in this way enables a reliable measurement with high accuracy even over large measuring distances and in process gases which are contaminated with dust or are otherwise contaminated or generally mixed with particles.
- the process gases can easily have a high temperature, since the spectral bands of the water vapor to be expected at higher temperatures do not have a disruptive influence on the measurement of a single absorptine line (single-line spectroscopy) according to the invention.
- the shield is advantageously flushed with a purge gas.
- Nitrogen is particularly advantageously used as the purge gas.
- This is advantageously located inside the Shielding is a clean gas known in its composition, through which the laser beam experiences almost no weakening of its intensity and which behaves neutrally for the concentration measurement, ie does not make a contribution unless the concentration of a nitrogen compound is to be measured.
- the suitability of a gas as a purge gas depends on which component of the process gas the concentration is to be determined.
- a purge gas is preferably selected which differs significantly from the gas whose concentration is to be determined with regard to spectroscopy.
- Inert gases can also advantageously be used as purge gases.
- the particular advantage of inert gases is that a chemical reaction between the purge gas and the process gas can be excluded.
- ambient air is drawn in and used as the purge gas. This configuration primarily offers the
- Process gas nitrogen preferred as purge gas is
- the invention also has the advantage that a laser with low power can be used to measure the concentration, since the measuring distance is shortened by the shielding according to the invention in comparison to a measurement without shielding.
- the use of a laser with low power also advantageously reduces the risk of undesired changes in the process gas, which could be triggered by the energy of the laser radiation in the process gas.
- FIG. 1 a cross section through a volume containing the process gas
- a tubular volume 1 containing the process gas is shown in the figure, which has on one side a laser 2a and on the opposite side a detector 2b which registers the laser radiation passing through the volume 1 and incident on the detector 2b.
- the beam path of the laser 2a is partially surrounded by the shield 3, which delimits the measuring section 4 on both sides, both in the direction of the laser 2a and in the direction of the detector 2b.
- Means for feeding a purge gas such as nitrogen are advantageously provided on the shield 3. These means are not shown in the figure.
- Volume 1 is filled, for example, with a hot process gas (e.g. the exhaust gas from a steelworks furnace), which has a temperature of 800 ° C or higher and whose content of carbon monoxide is to be determined.
- a shield 3 is used, which has two water-cooled ceramic tubes 3. Gaseous nitrogen is used as the flushing gas, which displaces the process gas from the interior of the ceramic tubes 3, which are cooled, for example, by tube coils (not shown) carrying cooling water.
- a shield 3 advantageously has dimensions such that the measuring section 4 is, for example, a length of 10 cm to 30 cm.
- a measuring section 4 of approximately 20 cm has proven to be particularly advantageous.
- the laser used is, for example, a tunable laser that is operated according to the invention at a single frequency selected before the measurements.
- a tunable laser has the advantage that the frequency (or wavelength) that can be well absorbed by the gas component to be determined can be selected from its possible frequency range.
- the weakening of the selected absorption line is a measure of the concentration of the gas components to be determined in the process gas.
- a single-mode laser that has a frequency that matches the gas component to be determined.
- the laser measurements can be carried out with particular advantage as continuous measurements. In a further embodiment of the invention, however, discontinuous measurement methods can also be used successfully.
