Abstract:

According to the phenomenon that high-pressure gas accumulate a large amount of charge near the hole area when they are spewed from small hole, the principle of small-hole leakage detection based on electrostatic sensing signal and the signal processing method are proposed, and exploratory electrostatic sensing experiment are carried out. The mechanism of abnormal electrification in the nearby areas caused by gas ejection from small hole was analyzed first, and a theoretical method of leakage detection based on electrostatic sensing was introduced. To extract information from electrostatic signals, a signal-based method for noise reduction and feature extraction using sparse decomposition was proposed. The gas leakage spray electrostatic perception test was conducted on the pressure pipeline gas leakage test platform. Finally, the application scenarios of small hole leakage electrostatic detection were discussed. The results indicate that the electrostatic signal of the jet gas exhibits high activity during leakage incidents, and the average peak value of the signal shows a quadratic positive relationship with the jet pressure. This suggests that electrostatic sensing technology is promising as a novel approach for monitoring leakage.
