Low pressure premixed laminar dimethyl ether/oxygen/argon flames under different equivalence ratios were investigated experimentally and numerically to study the influence of equivalence ratio on dimethyl ether combustion. The mole fraction profiles of main species and major intermediates were measured by molecular-beam mass spectrometry combined with synchrotron radiation photoionization technology and calculated by PREMIX CODE according to the typically chemical reaction model of dimethyl ether. The influences of equivalence ratio on flame structure and reaction path of dimethyl ether were analyzed. The results show that formaldehyde and methyl are the main intermediates in dimethyl ether flames
and dimethyl ether is mainly consumed by dehydr
ogenation reactions by H

and O. The influences of radicals on dehydrogenation reactions vary with the changed equivalence ratios. Methoxy methyl produced by the dehydrogenation reaction of dimethyl ether is extremely unstable and will be consumed as soon as produced. Methoxy methyl is mainly consumed by β-decomposition reaction
or a bit reacts with oxygen under oxygen excessive condition.
