The radiant energies ofselected analytical lines and a reference are collected and stored by way of photomultiplier tubes, charge coupled

22、devices, or othersuitable detectors.Acomparison is made of the emitted intensities of the elements in the fuel test specimen against those measuredwith calibration standards. The concentration of the elements present in the fuel test specimen are calculated and displayed.5. Significance and Use5.1 O

23、perating experience of gas turbines and diesel engines has shown that some of the ash-forming substances present in a fuelcan lead to high temperature corrosion, ash deposition, and fuel system fouling. Ash-forming materials may be in a fuel asoil-soluble metallo-organic compounds as water-soluble s

24、alts or as solid foreign contamination. Their presence and concentrationvaries with the geographical source of a crude oil and they are concentrated in the residual fractions during the refining process.Although distillate fuel oils are typically contaminant free, ash-forming materials may be introd

25、uced later in the form ofsalt-bearing water or by contact with other petroleum products during transportation and storage. Specifications of gas turbine anddiesel engine fuels and the significance of contamination and trace metals are detailed in Specifications D2880 and D975.5.1.1 Pre-conditioning

26、of the fuel before it reaches the gas turbine or diesel engine has become a prerequisite for installationsthat use heavy petroleum fuel, and also for sites that use light distillate fuel oils. On-site fuel analysis to determine the extent ofcontamination is an integral part of a fuel quality managem

27、ent program. It is used first to determine the extent of the requiredtreatment, and later, the effectiveness of the treatment. It starts with the delivery of the fuel, continues throughout fuel handlingand ends only as the fuel is injected into the turbine or engine.5.1.2 Fuel contamination specific

28、ations vary among the different gas turbine manufacturers. However, without exception, eachrequires that contaminants must be as low as possible. In most power generation installations, it is the owner who has theresponsibility of verifying fuel cleanliness in compliance with the turbine manufacture

29、rs warranty specifications. This leads to anon-site analytical instrument performance requirement of below 1.01.0 mg mg/kg kg for several elements.6. Interferences6.1 SpectralMost spectral interferences can be avoided by judicious choice of spectral lines. High concentrations of someelements can hav

30、e an interfering influence on the spectral lines used for determining trace levels of contaminants. Instrumentmanufacturers usually compensate for spectral interferences during factory calibration. A background correction system, whichsubtracts unwanted intensities on the side of the spectral line,

31、shall also be used for this purpose. When spectral interferencescannot be avoided with spectral line selection and background correction, the necessary corrections shall be made using thecomputer software supplied by the instrument manufacturer.D6728 1626.2 Viscosity EffectsDifferences in viscosity

32、of fuel samples will cause differences in uptake rates. Internal references of theinstrument will compensate for a portion of the differences. Without a reference, the analysis will be adversely affected if the testspecimen has a different viscosity from the calibration samples. The hydrogen 486.10

33、nm 486.10 nm spectral line shall be usedfor light fuels, and the CN 387.10 CN 387.10 nm spectral line shall be used for heavy fuels as an internal reference to compensatefor viscosity effects.6.3 ParticulateWhen large particles over 10 m in size are present, the analytical results will be lower than

34、 the actualconcentration they represent. Large particles may not be effectively transported by the rotating disk electrode sample introductionsystem into the arc, nor will they be fully vaporized.7. Apparatus7.1 Electrode SharpenerAn electrode sharpener to remove the contaminated portion of the rod

35、electrode remaining from theprevious determination. It also forms a new 160 angle on the end of the electrode.7.2 Rotating Disc Electrode Atomic Emission SpectrometerA simultaneous spectrometer consisting of excitation source,polychromator optics, and readout system. Suggested wavelengths are listed

36、 in Table 1. When multiple wavelengths are listed, theyare in the order of preference or desired analytical range.7.3 Heated Ultrasonic Bath (Recommended)An ultrasonic bath to heat and homogenize fuel samples to bring particles intosuspension. The ultrasonic bath shall be used on samples containing

37、large amounts of debris, those that have been in transit or instorage for at least 48 h 48 h and for heavy residual fuels to reduce viscosity effects.7.4 Power MixerA power mixer should be used before a sample is transferred from one container to another to ensure thata homogeneous mixture is create

38、d and maintained until the transfer is complete. Practice D5854 should be consulted for the mixingand handling of liquid samples.8. Reagents and Materials8.1 Base OilA 75 cSt (40C) 75 cSt (40 C) base oil, free of analyte, to be used as a calibration blank or for blendingcalibration standards.8.2 Che

40、ally safe, non-chlorinated, rapid evaporating, and non-film producing solvent to removespilled or splashed oil or fuel sample in the sample stand of the spectrometer.8.4 Counter ElectrodeThe counter electrode is a rod electrode. The counter electrode shall be of high-purity graphite(spectroscopic gr

41、ade). Dimensions of new counter electrodes shall conform to those shown in Fig. 1.8.5 Disc ElectrodeGraphite disc electrode of high-purity graphite (spectroscopic grade). Dimensions of the electrodes shallconform to those shown in Fig. 2.8.6 Glass Cleaning SolutionCapable of cleaning and removing sp

42、lashed oil or fuel sample from the quartz window thatprotects the entrance lens and fiber optic. Ammonia based window cleaner or 70 % isopropyl rubbing alcohol have been found tobe suitable for this purpose.8.7 Organometallic StandardsSingle or multi-element blended standards for use as the high con

43、centration standard forinstrument standardization purposes or for use as a check sample to confirm calibration. Multi-element blends are used for fuelanalysis applications that contain a 3:1 concentration ratio of magnesium to all other metals present. The typical concentration forthe upper calibrat

44、ion point is 1010 mg mg/kg kg for light fuels when ASTM No. 0-GT, No. 1-GT, No. 2-GT, Grade 1-D, Grade2-D, and Grade 4-D fuel samples are analyzed. The typical concentration for the upper calibration point is 100100 mg mg/kg kgfor heavy fuels when No. 3-GT and No. 4-GT fuel samples are analyzed.8.7.

47、analysis and reusable specimen holders must be cleaned after each analysis. All specimen holdersmust be free of contamination and shall be stored accordingly.
