When the gas in the combustion chamber is combusted, the gas is ionized to generate a large amount of charged particles such as free electrons, positive ions, negative ions, free radicals and the like. When the ion probe with the bias voltage U is extended into the combustion field, a weak ion current is formed between the two probe electrodes. The change of the ion current is measured by a measuring circuit connected with the probe, so that the change rule of the concentration of the main ions in the combustion chamber can be obtained.
The calculation formula of the relationship between the ion current and the ion concentration is derived as follows:

For an ion probe to be used in a combustion field, it must have a certain rigidity to ensure easy fixed mounting at the measurement site during the measurement process, and its support portion in contact with the flame should be as small as possible because the support would leak charged particles to disturb the combustion parameter field. The length of the probe needs to be much greater than the probe diameter to ensure negligible end effects of the probe. The combustion chamber temperature will typically exceed 1000K, so the probe electrode needs to be resistant to high temperatures, resistant to sputtering, not participate in chemical reactions, have a high work function, and the secondary processes (e.g., electron emission due to ion collisions, metastable states, photons, probe temperature, etc.) should be as small as possible. In addition, since one end of the probe is disposed in the high-temperature combustion chamber and the other end is disposed outside the combustion chamber, a thermal electromotive force is generated between the two ends of the probe due to a large temperature difference, which may cause an inaccurate measurement signal. The use of conventional gas cooled hollow cylinder electrode structures, for example, can greatly increase the probe size. For a combustion field, the probe size should be as small as possible to minimize probe interference with the flame. Therefore, the invention introduces the ion probe with a three-probe structure, two probes are used as electrodes for detecting ion current in a combustion field, and the third probe is used for eliminating the thermoelectromotive force.

As shown in fig. 6, an embodiment of the present invention applied to the measurement of the ion concentration distribution in the combustion chamber of the pulse combustor is shown. The pulse combustor is an oscillation combustion heat release device well researching ion concentration distribution, and has fixed combustion oscillation frequency. In this embodiment, the natural combustion oscillation frequency of the pulsation burner is 89Hz, and in fig. 6, the pulsation burner includes a combustion chamber 10, a fuel nozzle 11, a fuel valve 12, an igniter 13, an air valve 14, a pressure regulator 15, a pressure sensor 16, a combustion chamber tail pipe 17, and a blower 18 for supplying air to the combustion chamber.
The measuring device of the invention is applied to the measuring method of the ion concentration distribution in the combustion chamber of the pulse combustor: based on measuring the ion current variation distribution in the combustion field to obtain the ion concentration distribution at different positions in the combustion field. Firstly, fixing a plurality of ion probe modules 19 at different positions in a combustion chamber through probe mounting seats; when the pulsating combustor generates oscillation combustion, the ion probe starts to acquire ion current change signals at different positions in a combustion field; the measurement circuit module 20 amplifies and filters the ion current signal, and outputs the amplified and filtered ion current signal through data acquisition and display equipment to obtain ion current distribution at different positions in the combustion field; and obtaining the spatial distribution of the ion concentration at different positions in the combustion field according to the deduced relation of the ion current and the ion concentration.

Fig. 9 shows FFT-processed results of the ion concentration versus time curve of fig. 8, with the abscissa reflecting 89Hz primary combustion oscillation frequency in the pulsed combustor combustion chamber, and the ordinate reflecting the oscillation amplitude of the ion concentration at this location, with different amplitudes of ion concentration at different locations.
Since the measurement results of the ion probe are very sensitive to the size of the electrode structure of the probe, different probes have different measurement results due to slight difference of the size of the electrode structure, and therefore the probe needs to be calibrated before being used. And a mutual calibration method is adopted for the ion probes to ensure that the measurement results of different probes are consistent. During calibration, a plurality of probes are placed in a small area in the combustion chamber for simultaneous measurement, and as shown in fig. 7, the ion sensing ends (point a in fig. 2) of the 4 probes are all pointed to the central point of the combustion chamber. The amplitude of the ion concentration oscillation is consistent in a tiny area, and the amplitude of the main frequency of the ion concentration oscillation can be obtained by performing FFT analysis on the measurement signal. The proportional relation of the ion concentration amplitude results measured among different probes can be obtained through a calibration test. The measurement results of one probe are selected as a standard, so that the measurement results of different probes can be unified.

Any such equivalents, modifications and/or omissions as may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention may be resorted to.
