Abstract

In this work is explored the effectiveness of application of various absorption laser spectroscopy methods for definition of gas components concentration in boilers' smoke gases. O₂ and CO absorption spectrums are parsed, optimum absorption lines in near IR spectrum range (about 0.76 microns for O₂ and 1.56 microns for CO) are selected and graphics of selected lines intensities and half-widths dependences on the temperature of controllable medium and pressure in it are given. Processes of monitoring of CO and O₂ content in boilers smoke gases are simulated at usage of basic laser spectroscopy methods (integral, differential, modulation, correlation, modified correlation) and measurement inaccuracies are analyzed. It is ascertained, that for a decrease of methodical errors of concentration measuring it is necessary to take into account operated medium temperature and pressure. It is shown, that the least inaccuracies of CO and O₂ concentration continuous monitoring at the presence of dissipative losses variations are ensured with the modified correlation method though its threshold sensitivity is less, than integral and correlation ones.
