使用自行设计的等离子体点火装置,对极间电流随进口氩气压力的变化规律以及不同进口氩气压力和工作电流条件下等离子体点火器出口射流特性进行了实验研究。利用四通道CCD光谱仪测量了点火器出口处的发射光谱特征,并计算了等离子体的电子温度。结果表明,极间电流随进口氩气压力的增大而逐渐减小,等离子体点火器的射流长度随进口氩气流量的增大先增大后减小,随工作电流的增大而增大,等离子体点火器的工作电流随进口氩气流量的增大而减小,随电源输出电流增大而增大,等离子体射流的电子温度随氩气流量的增大而降低,随工作电流的增大而升高。所得结果对等离子体点火系统在航空发动机的实际应用具有一定的指导意义和参考价值。
The changing law between interelectrode current, discharge characteristic and jet characteristic of plasma ignitor under different inlet Ar pressure and working current was researched by adopting self-made plasma ignitor. Still, four channels CCD spectrometer was adopted to measure the spectrum characteristic at the exit of ignitor and electron temperature of plasma was calculated according to the spectrum characteristic. The results show that the interelectrode current gradually reduced with rising inlet Ar pressure; The jet length of plasma ignitor firstly increased then reduced with rising inlet Ar flowrate, and also increased with rising working current; The working current of plasma ignitor reduced with rising inlet Ar flowrate, and increased with ris- ing source output current; the electron temperature of plasma ignitor jet increased with rising working current and reduced with rising Ar flowrate. The research results are of certain guidance meanings and reference values for the practical application of plasma ignition system in aeroengine.
