Abstract

Modern high-temperature processes, such as fossil energy production, nuclear reactors, and chemical reactors lack robust, distributed sensing systems to map temperatures in these high-value harsh-environment systems. Regular silica-fiber-based distributed temperature sensing systems usually only operate at temperatures below about 800 °C. In this paper, we present the design, implementation, and testing of a distributed ultra-high temperature sensing system using Raman scattering intensity, which operates from room temperature to above 1400 °C. Consideration is given to the impacts of thermal radiation, fluorescence, and the multimode nature of unclad single-crystal fiber to optimize the system. Results from picosecond and sub-nanosecond lasers were compared. Measurements were taken with a ~2 m sapphire optical fiber, which represents the longest commercially available length. Here, a spatial resolution of 12.4 cm and position standard deviation of 0.28 mm were achieved up to the maximum testing temperature of 1400 °C, which is a new record for distributed temperature sensing systems.

Liquid level sensing for harsh environment applications using distributed fiber optic temperature measurements

Journal Article Petrie, Christian M. ; McDuffee, Joel L. - Sensors and Actuators. A, Physical

This work demonstrates the measurement of liquid level from spatially distributed temperature measurements using optical frequency domain reflectometry. The goal of this work is to provide initial evidence for a liquid level sensor concept that could be applied in harsh environments such as those with: conductive, flammable, or other chemically aggressive media; electromagnetic interference; high temperatures (up to ~1000 °C); and neutron/gamma radiation. The sensor concept includes fiber optic sensors, along with an insulated heater wire assembled inside a protective Inconel 600 sheath. When the heater is not powered, the sensor provides spatially distributed temperature measurements along the length ofmore »« less

Design and analysis of large-core single-mode windmill single crystal sapphire optical fiber

Journal Article Cheng, Yujie ; Hill, Cary ; Liu, Bo ; ... - Optical Engineering

We present a large-core single-mode “windmill” single crystal sapphire optical fiber (SCSF) design, which exhibits single-mode operation by stripping off the higher-order modes (HOMs) while maintaining the fundamental mode. The “windmill” SCSF design was analyzed using the finite element analysis method, in which all the HOMs are leaky. The numerical simulation results show single-mode operation in the spectral range from 0.4 to 2 μm in the windmill SCSF, with an effective core diameter as large as 14 μm. Such fiber is expected to improve the performance of many of the current sapphire fiber optic sensor structures.

High-resolution wall temperature measurements with distributed fiber optic sensors

Journal Article Holler, David ; Vaghetto, Rodolfo ; Hassan, Yassin - International Journal of Thermal Sciences

Conventional approaches of surface temperature measurement are often unreliable, and other methods may not be practical in closed, high-temperature spaces. In this study, surface temperature measurements of the cooling panel of a natural circulation facility were performed with fiber optic distributed temperature sensors (DTS). High resolution surface temperature profiles of the cooling panel were acquired under two steady experimental conditions, and compared with measurements performed with nearby thermocouples. The total measurement error of the DTS results presented has been estimated to be ±4.4 °C. The findings reflected herein show that these DTS can reasonably measure surface temperature when installed withmore »« less

Nanocrystalline diamond micro-anvil grown on single crystal diamond as a generator of ultra-high pressures

Journal Article Samudrala, Gopi K. ; Moore, Samuel L. ; Velisavljevic, Nenad ; ... - AIP Advances

By combining mask-less lithography and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques, a novel two-stage diamond anvil has been fabricated. A nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) micro-anvil 30 μm in diameter was grown at the center of a [100]-oriented, diamond anvil by utilizing microwave plasma CVD method. The NCD micro-anvil has a diamond grain size of 115 nm and micro-focused Raman and X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicate sp3-bonded diamond content of 72%. Lastly, these CVD grown NCD micro-anvils were tested in an opposed anvil configuration and the transition metals osmium and tungsten were compressed to high pressures of 264 GPa in a diamond anvilmore » cell.« less
