In the cold PIV (particle image velocimetry) system of the laminar entrained flow reactor, the relative position between the camera and the measuring tube was an important condition to ensure accurate test data. To make the PIV operation more convenient, accurate, and fast in the test, two-dimensional PIV automatic control system was designed. And the reliability of the system was tested in the cold simulation equipment of laminar flow furnace, compared with no using two-dimensional PIV automatic control system, the results showed that in different sections of the measuring tube, the particle speed of the axial center achieves a smooth transition, and eliminates the jump change; when collection distance is 350mm and main air flow rate is 1.5m3/h, the relative error of particle residence time is 9.218%; and the operation saves time and effort in the test process. These suggested that the two-dimensional PIV automatic control system could satisfy the cold test of the laminar entrained flow reactor needs, achieve uniform and continuous test, reduce human error and improve the accuracy of test data.
