摘　　要：甲烷气体泄漏会导致火灾爆炸事故的发生,恶劣的环境条件(如低温和浸水)会影响甲烷泄漏的精准检测。该研究系统分析了浸水和低温-浸水复杂条件下催化燃烧式甲烷探测器的响应特性及其影响机制。研究结果表明:浸水会显著降低甲烷探测器的灵敏度,浸水后探测器报警浓度增长90.3%。相比于室温浸水,低温-浸水使报警浓度降低23.3%,响应时间的重复性能提升,平均标准差降低65.16%。浸水后传感器表面的水膜会阻碍甲烷气体进入传感器内部,使得传感器内甲烷含量降低;浸水还会导致催化剂的比表面积降低和催化剂水中毒,减少了甲烷气体的吸附位点,因此浸水后探测器需要更高浓度的甲烷才能触发报警状态。低温环境下探测器铂丝加热器电阻变化更为显著,吸收较少的催化燃烧反应热就能达到报警所需的电阻变化量,降低了探测器报警所需的甲烷浓度,因此低温环境有效减弱了浸水对探测器的不利影响。该文为进一步研究低温-浸水复杂条件对甲烷探测器性能的影响提供了实验依据,有利于提高甲烷泄漏的精准检测。[Objective]Fires and explosions caused by gas leaks result in serious casualties and property damage.Therefore,the precise detection of gas leaks is crucial.The primary component of natural gas is methane,and gas leak detection aims to accurately detect methane gas.However,methane detectors may face interference from adverse environmental factors during the gas leak detection process,affecting the performance of the detectors.[Methods]This study systematically analyzed the influence of water immersion and the complex conditions of low-temperature immersion on the response characteristics of catalytic combustion methane detectors.The catalytic combustion methane detector was initially immersed for 15–180 mins.The detectors alarm concentration and response time were then tested to evaluate the impact of immersion on the alarm performance and response speed of the catalytic combustion methane detector.Subsequently,tests were conducted on the alarm concentration and response time of the catalytic combustion methane detector immersed for 15 and 30 min at environmental temperatures of 30,15,and 0°C.Furthermore,an analysis was conducted on the reasons for the impacts of low temperature and water immersion on the catalytic combustion detector,considering factors such as resistance,absolute humidity,moisture content,and catalyst-specific surface area.[Results]The results revealed that immersion significantly reduced the sensitivity of the methane detector,with a 90.3%increase in the alarm concentration after immersion.The time required for the display values of the detector to reach 90%of the baseline value increased by 115 min.Compared with room-temperature immersion,low-temperature immersion resulted in a 23.3%decrease in the alarm concentration.The time required for the display values of the detector to reach 90%of the baseline value increased by 55 min,but the repeatability of the response time improved,with an average standard deviation reduced by 65.16%.After immersion treatment,a thin film of water formed on the
