Investigation of the principle of flame rectification in order to improve detection of the propane flame in absorption refrigerators
Sammanfattning: Electrical properties of a propane flame was investigated to improve detection of the flame in absorption refrigerators. The principle of flame rectification, which uses the diode property of the flame, was studied. A DC voltage in the range 0–130V was applied, between the burner and an electrode in the flame, and the current through the flame in the forward and reverse direction was measured. This measurements were performed with the electrode top in different horizontal and vertical positions. AC voltages at various frequencies was also applied and the average current through the flame was measured. A linear relation was found between the applied DC voltage and the current through the flame which means that the resistance, in the investigated voltage range, is independent of the applied voltage. The resistance in the forward direction was almost constant for different electrode positions but the reverse resistance varied many hundred MOhm when the electrode was moved vertically away from the burner. The gas flow also influenced the reverse resistance to a large extent.
