description High-frequency oscillations occur in the centrally staged combustor during operation. To effectively suppress them, real-time monitoring of the combustor exit temperature is critical. However, traditional contact temperature measurement methods are inadequate for accurately capturing temperature variations in the turbulent flow field. Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) with a high acquisition frequency is employed to measure the temperature of the centrally staged combustor, utilizing a non-contact sensing method. The influence of various combustion parameters on the uniformity of combustion within the chamber and the capability of TDLAS to capture temperature data of the combustion chamber under different acquisition frequencies are studied. The results indicate that the staging ratio causes irregular oscillations in the combustion chamber outlet temperature. At an acquisition frequency of 1 kHz, an increase in the staging ratio raises the average temperature at the outlet and slows down the temperature oscillation when other parameters remain constant. At an acquisition frequency of 10 kHz, more small, high-frequency variations in the centrally staged combustor outlet temperature are observed. When the TDLAS system operates at 10 kHz, it can capture more details of the combustion chamber outlet temperature oscillation under the same working conditions and exhibits stronger noise immunity. However, compared with the acquisition frequency of 1 kHz, it cannot sustain long-term measurement.
