Abstract

Ammonia detection is highly relevant for combustion in boilers and furnaces since NH3 is able to suppress nitric oxide levels by catalytic as well as non-catalytic reduction. The mixing of ammonia with flue gases is an important parameter to obtain efficient non-catalytic reduction. In this paper picosecond DIAL was used for range-resolved, single ended, NH3 detection, utilizing a tunable picosecond laser source. The absorption spectrum of the A(ν2 = 1)←X(ν2 = 0) band was recorded and 212.2 and 214.5 nm was selected as the on- and off-resonance wavelength, respectively. One-dimensional concentration profiles with various NH3 concentration distributions are presented. The detection limit was found to be 40 ppm with a spatial resolution of 16 cm.

Schematic illustration of the experimental setup for near-field lidar. Pulses from a picosecond Nd:YAG/OPG system are directed into the measurement region by mirror M1. Backscattered radiation is collected by mirrors M2 and M3 to a photomultiplier tube (MCP/PMT). The coordinate system is used to describe positioning of different experimental objects (see measurements section).

Data from DIAL measurements inside an open tube containing binary mixtures of NH3 and CH4. (a) Photomultiplier lidar traces measured off (red) and on (black) resonance. The original time-scale of the horizontal axis has been converted to distance from the telescope collection mirror. NH3 inlet concentrations are given in the legend. (b) Ratio of lidar signals, measured in pure CH4 off and on NH3-resonance, and used to calibrate for differences in the geometrical overlap function. (c) Ratios between off- and on-resonance lidar signals shown in (a). Results evaluated directly from raw-data (green) as well as compensated data (black), obtained using the calibration curve shown in (b).
