Abstract
To address performance degradation caused by detector temperature fluctuations in a dual-channel infrared imaging system for sulfur hexafluoride(SF6)gas leak detection,this study developed an active temperature control module based on a Thermoelectric Cooler(TEC)to enhance its stability. The optimal spatial layout of the TEC was determined by combining experimental measurements with thermal field simulations,and a closed-loop control system governed by a PID algorithm was implemented. Comparative experiments demonstrated that the integrated control module significantly enhances the system performance. Regarding imaging quality,the steady-state standard deviation of the grayscale value is reduced by 40. 87%,the linearity error is decreased from 7. 253 4% to 0. 660 4%,and the Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference(NETD)is improved by 19. 35%,from 14. 379 mK to 11. 597 mK. In the SF6 gas detection application,the average relative contrast,signal-to-noise ratio,and gas pixel ratio are increased by 123%,56%,and 77%,respectively. This enhancement method effectively suppresses the adverse effects of temperature fluctuations,substantially improving SF6 gas detection capability while enhancing the fundamental imaging quality,and validating a feasible technical pathway for developing high-performance,low-cost portable gas leak detection instruments.
