Simulation Analysis on the Factors Influencing Measurement of Components in Oxyhydrogen Combustion Exhaust Gas

Oxyhydrogen combustion exhaust gas contains hydrogen, oxygen and a large amount of vapor, so preprocessing is necessary before the measurement of the oxyhydrogen component content in the exhaust gas with component analyzer. The preprocessing includes decompressing, condensing, argon filling, filtering and drying, which will inevitably affect measuring result. In this paper, the measuring process of the oxyhydrogen combustion exhaust gas is analyzed, and the factors influencing the measurement of the components in oxyhydrogen combustion exhaust gas are simulated by modeling the chemical equilibrium process of oxygen-hydrogen reaction in the conditions of hydrogen enrichment, oxygen enrichment and equivalence ratio, respectively. And then, analysis and modeling of each pretreatment process is carried out. The results show that: 1) the major influencing factor is the environment temperature; 2) the higher the environment temperature is, the lower the measured oxyhydrogen combustion efficiency becomes; 3) the real combustion efficiency is lower than the measured one; and 4) the real combustion efficiency in hydrogen enrichment condition is lower than that in other conditions at the same environment temperature. In addition, some suggestions are offered to improve the accuracy of the measurement.
