The method for detecting the non-methane total hydrocarbon based on the dilution technology, namely the working method of the device for detecting the non-methane total hydrocarbon of the embodiment, comprises the following steps:
(S1) the propane standard gas under different oxygen background concentrations (0-21%) enters the sample gas pipeline 10 in a time-division manner, and then enters the first detector 81 on the first pipeline 11 and the second detector 82 on the second pipeline 12 at the same flow rate respectively, so that the corresponding relation between the non-methane total hydrocarbon content and the oxygen background concentration is obtained, and as shown in fig. 2, the fluctuation of the non-methane total hydrocarbon content is large;
in this embodiment, the working parameters of the first detector 81 and the second detector 82 are: the sample injection flow is 20mL/min, the combustion gas (adopting hydrogen) flow is 20mL/min, and the combustion-supporting gas (adopting air) flow is 200mL/min.
(S2) in the selected oxygen background concentration interval, the oxygen background concentration interval of the embodiment is 10.5% -21%, and whether the change rate of the total non-methane hydrocarbon content relative to the oxygen background concentration is smaller than a set value or not is judged, wherein the set value of the embodiment is 2%; the smaller the set value is, the smaller the influence of the oxygen background concentration is after the total non-methane hydrocarbon content is, and the higher the subsequent detection precision is;
if so, the operating parameters of the first detector 81 and the second detector 82 are saved: the sample injection flow is 10mL/min, the combustion air flow is 30mL/min, the combustion air flow is 300mL/min, and the corresponding relation between the total non-methane hydrocarbon content and the oxygen background concentration is shown in figure 3;
if not, adjusting the operation parameters of the first detector 81 and the second detector 82, and returning to step (S1);
(S3) flue gas enters the sample gas pipeline 10, air enters the sample gas pipeline 10 through the third pipeline 13, part of the flue gas enters the fourth pipeline 14 through the first communication point 51 and the fourth communication point 54, then the flue gas is emptied, the rest flue gas and the air are converged at the second communication point 52, the (diluted flue gas) mixed gas enters the first detector 81 and the second detector 82 respectively at the same flow rate, and simultaneously enters the fifth pipeline 15, and the first detector 81 and the second detector 82 work according to the stored working parameters;
the driving gas, such as nitrogen, enters the fourth pipeline 14, part of the driving gas sequentially enters the sixth pipeline 16 and the fifth pipeline 15 from the third communication point 53, the diluted mixed gas entering from the fifth communication point 55 is mixed for evacuation, and part of the driving gas mixes the flue gas entering from the fourth communication point 54 and is then evacuated;
(S4) adjusting the ratio of the flows of the air and the flue gas so that the oxygen concentration in the flue gas and air mixture is in the background concentration range; at this time, the first detector 81 and the second detector 82 still operate according to the saved operation parameters;
in the embodiment, the oxygen concentration in the air is 21%, and the oxygen content in the flue gas is unknown but is 0-21%; in order to make the oxygen concentration in the air and flue gas mixture be in the background concentration range, the ratio of the air flow to the flue gas flow is not less than 1, and in this embodiment, 2 is taken;
the sample pressure and the dilution gas pressure downstream of the sampling pump 41 are adjusted by adjusting the first flow controller 21 and the second flow controller 22, while the third flow controller 23 is adjusted so that the sample pressure (i.e., the output value of the third pressure sensor 33) is kept constant, thereby ensuring that the response characteristics of the first detector 81 and the second detector 82 and the oxygen disturbance curve remain constant while the ratio of the flows is changed.
(S5) the first detector 81 and the second detector 82 output signals to obtain the non-methane total hydrocarbon content in the flue gas.
The specific modes of zeroing and catalyst activation are as follows:
the pressure downstream of the sampling pump 41 on the sampling pipe 10 is regulated, maintaining the pressure on the third pipe 13 and the intake pressure of the first pipe 11 unchanged, so that the pressure downstream of the sampling pump 41 is smaller than the intake pressure, so that:
in zeroing, the sample gas channel 10 is closed such that only air enters the first channel 11, the second channel 12, the first detector 81 and the second detector 82;
during catalyst activation, the sample gas line 10 is closed and only air enters the catalytic unit 71.

1. on the second pipe 12, a gas lock is used instead of the second catalytic furnace.
2. The oxygen background concentration interval is 14% -21%, correspondingly, in the detection method, the ratio of the flow rate of air serving as diluent gas to the flow rate of flue gas is not less than 2, for example, 10 is taken.
