Quantitative Detection of C₂H₂ Gas Based on an Infrared Laser Gas Sensor

Abstract:

Detection of C₂H₂ gas in transformer oil is significant for diagnosing the operating state assessment of power equipment. The paper develops an infrared laser gas sensor to detect the C₂H₂ gas in transformer oil, and also introduces the system structure in detail. A gas-absorbed laser cell that contains a series of laser reflectors is designed and used in our detection system, which adds the optical path without changing the volume of the cell. 1529.16nm is chosen as the characteristic spectrum line of C₂H₂ gas, and concentration of C₂H₂ gas is quantitatively analyzed based on least square method. The experiment result shows that in certain volume fraction range of acetylene, the absorbance has a good linear relationship with the acetylene concentration, and the minimum detection limit for acetylene is 10μL/L. In general, the developed infrared laser gas sensor can detect C₂H₂ gas in transformer oil effectively.
