Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the detection of the hydrocarbon vapors, and, more particularly, to optical probes to detect the absorption of infrared radiation and measure the concentration of hydrocarbon vapors in a combustion environment.
  • hydrocarbon fuel into an oxygen-containing atmosphere to form a mixture of air and fuel .
  • the hydrocarbon fuel is traditionally stored in a liquid state, and may be evaporated to form a gaseous fuel vapor or sprayed into the oxygen-containing atmosphere as a fine mist of liquid fuel droplets.
  • the mixture of air and fuel (whether droplets or vapor) is then ignited.
  • Knowledge of the fuel vapor distribution, i.e., the concentration, as a function of time, of gaseous hydrocarbon fuel at various locations in the engine, is essential to model the fuel efficiency, performance, and pollutant emissions of an engine.
  • the mixing of the fuel with the oxygen-containing atmosphere is a turbulent process, and the concentration of any fuel vapor may be spatially and temporally non-uniform. Therefore, there is a need for a detector which can measure the fluctuating concentration of hydrocarbon vapors in an engine environment .

  • the needle may be manipulated, e.g., pushed or pulled through the fuel line, in order to measure the fuel concentration at different locations. It takes about one second to draw a sufficient amount of gas through the needle to form a sample. Because most engines fire more than twenty times per second, the single sample represents the average concentration, over at least twenty cycles, of fuel at the tip of the needle.
  • Another method of measuring the concentration of fuel vapor is to detect the absorption of light by the hydrocarbon gas.

  • a combustor such as a furnace, incinerator or engine.
  • an device which can measure the concentration of hydrocarbon vapors in a combustion environment.
