目的:研究艾条的燃烧特性。方法:运用由ALTEC智能数字调节器和SJ-600型热电偶组装而成的艾条温度测量仪,进行以下4组实验:①在艾条内部埋设单个热电偶测定艾条燃烧最高温度;②随艾条燃烧,以适当速率抽取单个热电偶测量艾条燃烧稳定性;③分别在艾条横截面圆心点、半径中点及表皮点埋设3根同型号热电偶测量横截面燃烧温度分布;④随艾条燃烧同时以适当速率抽取在横截面圆心点、半径中点及表皮点所埋设的3根热电偶绘制艾条燃烧温度—时间—空间曲线。结果:湖北蕲春药圣草本科技有限公司生产的3年艾条最高燃烧温度为848℃;燃烧稳定性较好;柱圆心、柱半径中点和外侧3处温度分别为843℃、731℃和410℃,综合绘制了该种艾条的燃烧温度—时间—空间曲线,该曲线可涵盖前3项指标,表征了各点的实时燃烧温度和最高燃烧温度。结论:采用自行设计的艾条温度测量仪建立的测量体系具有简便易行、精确度高等特点,可较为全面地反映艾条的燃烧温度特性,可以为艾条生产行业制定质量标准提供依据。
Objective To study the burning characteristics of moxa stick.Methods A self-designed moxa stick burning temperature measuring device,which was assembled with ALTEC intelligence digital setter and SJ-600 thermocouple,was used to conduct next four experiences:①embedding a thermocouple inside a moxa stick to measure peak burning temperature;② pulling a thermocouple embedded in the moxa stick at the proper rate to detect combustion stability;③ elucidating temperature distribution of transverse section by measuring the temperature in the center,radius midpoint and lateral;④ drawing temperature-time-space curves by pulling the thermocouples in the former three observation points.Results The experiment indicated that the burning temperature peak of three-year moxa stick(Hubei Herbal Medicine St.Qichun Technology Co.,Ltd.) was 848 ℃ which had good combustion stability.Furthermore,the temperature in the center,radius midpoint and lateral of transverse section were 843 ℃,731 ℃ and 410 ℃,respectively,and its burning temperature-time-space curves was drawn,which showed the real-time burning temperature and the peak burning temperature and were regarded as ultimate indice to integrate the formers.Conclusion The measuring system elaborately reflecting the burning features of moxa stick may provide reference for manufacture industry of moxa stick quality criteria for its convenience and accuracy.
