| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a device for measuring the concentration of a molecule, such as CO, NO or NO2, in a gaseous atmosphere at a temperature above 1200° C. in a chamber, said molecule having an absorption line at a wavelength between 4 and 8 μm, said device comprising an emitter that emits laser radiation with a wavelength corresponding to that of the absorption line, said emitter emitting the laser radiation through a first window and then through said atmosphere, said window being made of a solid material having, for a material thickness of 1 mm, a transmittance greater than 50% at the wavelength of the laser radiation, the laser radiation being analyzed after having passed through said atmosphere by an analyzer that determines the absorption of the laser radiation by the molecule in the gaseous atmosphere, the window being placed on or in a wall of the chamber, where appropriate via an insert, in order to prevent the hot atmosphere of the chamber escaping therefrom. The invention provides a continuous measurement during normal operation of the installation on which it is mounted. The device according to the invention may equip a glass furnace and continuously measure the concentration of gaseous species in the hot atmosphere during normal operation of the furnace. This allows the burners of the furnace to be adjusted during operation. |
