1. Principle of Fiber Optic Temperature Monitoring
Fiber optic temperature sensor is an advanced sensor that measures temperature changes by utilizing optical effects. It utilizes the unique properties of optical fibers, such as their thermal sensitivity and Bragg grating effect. The basic principle is to use the optical properties of optical fibers to reflect changes in environmental temperature by measuring the optical signal parameters (such as light intensity, phase, և այլն:) in the fiber. The following are several common fiber optic temperature monitoring methods based on different principles:
1.1: Based on the principle of light amplitude variation:
In component type fiber optic temperature sensors, the core diameter and refractive index of the fiber change with temperature, causing the light propagating in the fiber to scatter outward due to uneven paths, resulting in changes in light amplitude. Օրինակ, in some special fiber structures, changes in temperature can cause changes in the material distribution or structural characteristics inside the fiber, resulting in changes in the scattering of light during propagation, and thus causing changes in the amplitude of light. By detecting these amplitude changes, temperature information can be obtained.
Based on the principle of interference: In the instrument, light from the signal fiber is mixed with a stable reference beam. Due to the influence of the measured parameters (such as temperature) on the signal fiber, the phase of the propagating optical signal changes, resulting in interference between the two light beams. In principle, a suitable phase detector can detect small changes, while a stripe counter can detect large changes. This utilizes the interference characteristics of light, converting the influence of temperature on the phase of optical signals in optical fibers into detectable interference phenomena, thereby achieving temperature monitoring.
1.2: Based on the principle of Raman scattering effect:
The basic principle of distributed fiber optic temperature sensing system (DTS) is based on the optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) principle of fiber optic and the Raman scattering effect of fiber optic. Laser pulses interact with fiber molecules, resulting in various scattering phenomena such as Rayleigh scattering, Brillouin scattering, and Raman scattering. Select the Raman scattering that is most sensitive to temperature changes when selecting the system reference signal. The mechanism of fiber optic temperature measurement is based on the backward Raman scattering effect, which obtains temperature information by analyzing the Raman scattering light signal. Because the intensity of Raman scattering light has a specific relationship with temperature, temperature changes can cause changes in Raman scattering intensity. By measuring the changes in Raman scattering intensity, the temperature value can be determined.
1.3: Based on the principle of Bragg fiber Bragg grating:
In quasi distributed fiber optic temperature measurement technology, a representative solution is a temperature measurement system with multiple fiber Bragg gratings connected in series. Several Bragg fiber gratings with different center wavelengths are formed by exposure and etching along the longitudinal direction of the optical fiber through ultraviolet radiation. Each Bragg fiber grating is power total reflection for a specific wavelength of light. When the ambient temperature of the fiber Bragg grating changes, the wavelength of the reflected signal from the grating will also change. Inject a beam of broad-spectrum light containing multiple wavelengths into an optical fiber, and the beam passes through a series of fiber Bragg gratings. Each grating reflects a monochromatic light signal corresponding to its wavelength, and temperature changes are reflected by detecting changes in the reflected light wavelength.
1.4: Based on the principle of fluorescence radiation:
In fluorescence radiation fiber temperature sensing technology, a fluorescent substance is coated on the end of the fiber, and the temperature value of the measured point can be obtained by measuring the decay time of fluorescence energy and utilizing the temperature correlation of the intrinsic afterglow time of the fluorescent substance. The afterglow time of fluorescent substances changes with temperature, and this characteristic is used for temperature measurement. Its applicable temperature range is -50~200 ℃, with an accuracy of about ± 1 ℃, and it is commonly used for temperature measurement inside electrical equipment.
1.5: Principle of Light Absorption/Transmission Characteristics Based on Gallium Arsenide Crystals:
Gallium Arsenide Fiber Temperature Measurement Technology embeds gallium arsenide crystal material into the far end of the fiber as a temperature probe, and injects incident light into the near end device of the fiber. When the sensor light source emits multi wavelength incident light and radiates onto the gallium arsenide crystal, the gallium arsenide crystal material will absorb different wavelengths of incident light at different temperatures, and the unabsorbed wavelengths of light will be reflected back to the device. By analyzing the spectrum of reflected light, the temperature parameters at the probe can be obtained. The advantage of this sensor is that it obtains the probe temperature through absolute spectral measurement rather than temperature change measurement, so it does not involve on-site calibration. The probe has good universality, and the sensing distance can exceed 500m. The light source life and long-term stability of online detection can exceed 30 years. Այնուամենայնիվ, the cost of gallium arsenide fiber is relatively high.
2. Method of Fiber Optic Temperature Monitoring
According to different application scenarios, fiber optic temperature measurement technology can be divided into the following categories:
2.1: Point temperature measurement:
Fluorescence radiation fiber temperature sensing technology: a fluorescent substance is coated on the end of the fiber, and the temperature value of the measured point is obtained by measuring the decay time of fluorescence energy and utilizing the temperature correlation of the intrinsic afterglow time of the fluorescent substance. Suitable for temperature range of -50~200 ℃, with an accuracy of about ± 1 ℃, currently mainly used for temperature measurement inside electrical equipment. It has the characteristics of small size, easy integration, reliable performance, հակաէլեկտրամագնիսական միջամտություն, good insulation performance, convenient installation, and flexible networking.
2.2 Gallium Arsenide Fiber Optic Temperature Measurement Technology:
Embedding gallium arsenide crystal material into the far end of the optical fiber as a temperature probe, injecting incident light into the near end device of the fiber. When the sensor light source emits multi wavelength incident light and radiates onto the gallium arsenide crystal, the gallium arsenide crystal material absorbs different wavelengths of incident light at different temperatures, and the unabsorbed wavelengths of light are reflected back to the device. The temperature parameters at the probe are obtained by analyzing the spectrum of the reflected light. Its advantages are that the probe temperature is obtained through absolute spectral measurement, without on-site calibration, the probe has good universality, the sensing distance can exceed 500m, the light source life and online detection long-term stability exceed 30 years, but the cost is relatively high.
2.3 Quasi distributed measurement:
Fiber Bragg Grating Series Temperature Measurement System: Through ultraviolet radiation along the longitudinal direction of the fiber, several Bragg fiber gratings with different center wavelengths are formed by exposure and etching. Each Bragg fiber grating is power total reflection for a specific wavelength of light. Multiple Bragg fiber gratings are sequentially connected in series in the direction of fiber propagation to form a spatially discrete quasi spatial distribution temperature measurement system. Injecting broadband light into an optical fiber, when the beam passes through a fiber Bragg grating, each grating reflects a monochromatic light signal corresponding to its wavelength. When the ambient temperature of the fiber Bragg grating changes, the wavelength of the grating reflected signal will change. Its probe has a small volume, the optical path can be appropriately bent, it is resistant to electromagnetic radiation, and easy to telemetry. Այնուամենայնիվ, the mechanical strength of the fiber Bragg grating is low, and it is easily damaged under complex working conditions, which requires the reliability of the sensor. Moreover, the sensitivity of wavelength demodulation is a problem, and the wavelength drift of reflected light caused by a temperature rise of tens of degrees does not exceed 1nm.
2.4 Fully distributed measurement:
Distributed Fiber Temperature Measurement System (DTS) Based on Raman Scattering Effect: Utilizing the Optical Time Domain Reflector (OTDR) principle of optical fibers and Raman scattering effect. Laser pulses interact with fiber molecules to generate various scattering phenomena such as Raman scattering, and temperature is measured based on the Raman scattering effect. This system can be implemented by deploying a monitoring device and a sensing fiber, and the monitoring cost per unit fiber length decreases with the increase of sensing distance. It is currently a highly promising engineering temperature measurement solution. It can achieve temperature measurement in single point, multi-point, and continuous areas, and can serve as a medium for temperature measurement and transmission simultaneously. It has anti electromagnetic interference ability, կոռոզիոն դիմադրություն, good insulation performance, flexible installation methods, can be linked with fire protection, alarm systems, և այլն. It can also remotely transmit data, view and control remotely, and has advantages such as data analysis and fault point troubleshooting.
