Dimethyl ether is regarded as a promising alternative fuel for engine, and much fundamental work still need to be done in order to effectively utilize it. In this paper, the experimental results of low pressure premixed laminar dimethyl ether/oxygen/argon (DME/O2/Ar) flames with different equivalence ratios (0.8, 1.0, and 1.5) using molecular beam mass spectrometry combined with synchrotron radiation photoionization technology are presented. By measuring the signal intensities relative to the distances from the burner surface, mole fraction profiles of the major intermediates are derived. Mole fraction profiles are analyzed and compared among these flames. Effect of equivalence ratio on the chemical structure of these flames is illustrated. The experimental data will enhance the understanding of dimethyl ether combustion.
