Description

Collector tube aging device and flow control method for collector tube aging
Technical Field
The invention relates to a collector tube aging device and a flow control method for collector tube aging
Background
In the field of chromatographic instrumentation, thermal desorption collection tubes are common sampling devices in laboratories, and after use, the collection tubes are often aged to remove sample residues. Aging of the trap pipe refers to a process of blowing out the residue in the trap pipe under a certain inert gas flow (such as nitrogen and the like) at a high temperature to regenerate the trap pipe. The purge gas flow rate is usually set to 50-80 ml (single catch tube).
Disclosure of Invention

In the prior art, for example, as shown in fig. 1, the header aging apparatus 100 includes a flow output unit 110 and a pressure gauge 120. The flow output unit 110 has a flow input end 111 to which purge gas is input and a plurality of (7 in the drawing) flow output ends 112 from which purge gas is output, and a plurality of collecting pipes (not shown) for aging are provided at the respective flow output ends 112 and communicate with the flow output ends 112 so that all of the purge gas output from the flow output ends 112 is purged therethrough. During the aging, the user observes the pressure gauge 120 to determine whether or not the purge gas flows through the trap pipe and the approximate flow rate of the purge gas.
However, it often takes several hours or more for the collection tube to age, during which time it is not possible for the user to keep track of the pressure gauge 120 at all times. If the purge gas is cut off or used up during the aging process, and the user does not see the change of the pointer of the pressure gauge 120 and deal with it in time, the aging capability becomes weak, the residue in the trap pipe cannot be completely purged but slowly accumulates in the trap pipe, and finally the number of times the trap pipe can be used is reduced. On the other hand, if the flow rate of the purge gas is too large, not only the cost increases due to the waste of the purge gas, but also there is a risk that the packing in the trap is blown or blown out to cause damage to the trap.

Detailed Description
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of a header aging apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment. The header aging apparatus 200 includes a flow output unit 210 and a temperature control unit 220. The flow output unit 210 has a flow input end 211 for inputting the purge gas and a plurality of (7 in the figure for example) flow output ends 212 for outputting the purge gas, and the output flows of the flow output ends 212 are consistent with each other. A plurality of collecting pipes (not shown) for aging are provided at each flow output end 212 and communicate with the flow output end 212, so that the purge gas output from the flow output end 212 is entirely purged through the collecting pipes. In the burn-in test, the flow output unit 210 is placed in a column oven, and heating is performed by the temperature control unit 220, and the temperature of the column oven (i.e., the temperature of the flow output unit 210 and the trap pipe) is accurately controlled to a set value.
the header aging apparatus 200 further includes an alarm unit 250 for outputting an alarm and a control unit 240, and the control unit 240 controls the temperature control unit 220 and the alarm unit 250.
In the present invention, in order to avoid the adverse effect of too low or too high flow rate of the purge gas, the control unit 240 is configured to: in the case where the current output flow rate of each flow rate output end 212 of the flow rate output unit 210 is lower than a preset lower flow rate limit value or higher than a preset upper flow rate limit value, the alarm unit 250 is caused to output an alarm. In addition, when the flow rate is lower than the lower limit value, the control unit 240 may stop the heating of the temperature control unit 220 at the same time.
The user can take various measures after receiving the alarm, such as changing the gas source supplying the purge gas under the condition that the flow rate is lower than the lower flow limit value and even the purge gas is used up; and when the flow rate is higher than the upper limit value of the flow rate, reducing the flow rate of the purge gas, and the like. The form of outputting the alarm may be any one or more of lighting (for example, red light), giving a buzzer or displaying a character, or may be other forms.
The following describes a method for acquiring the current output flow at the flow output end 212 of the flow output unit 210.
In order to obtain the current output flow rate, in the present embodiment, calculation is performed based on a physical quantity such as pressure.
Specifically, a pressure sensing unit 230 is disposed on the flow path of the purge gas upstream of the flow output unit 210, and is communicated with the flow input end 211 of the flow output unit 210, for measuring the current pressure of the purge gas in the flow output unit 210. Further, a stainless damper tube for generating flow resistance against the purge gas is provided in the flow output end 212. According to the difference of the aperture and the length of the damping tube, different circulation resistances can be provided for the purging gas. In the present embodiment, in order to match the output flow rates of the flow rate output ends 212 with each other, it is preferable to match the parameters of the damping pipes with each other.
The flow value of the purge gas flowing out of the flow output 212 depends on the current temperature, the current pressure, and the parameters (bore diameter and/or length) of the damper tube of the purge gas in the flow output unit 210. The control unit 240 includes a storage unit 241, a calculation unit 242, and a comparison unit 243. The storage unit 241 stores the relational expression between the temperature, the pressure, the damping tube parameter, and the output flow rate in advance, and the relational expression may be provided by a product manufacturer or may be obtained by measurement in advance through experiments. The calculating unit 242 calculates the current output flow rate of the flow output end 212 of the flow output unit 210 according to the above relation from the current temperature of the purge gas in the flow output unit 210 (i.e. the column oven temperature), the current pressure measured by the pressure sensing unit 230, and the known parameters of the damper tube.
The storage unit 241 further stores a preset lower flow rate limit and a preset upper flow rate limit, and the comparison unit 243 compares the current output flow rate calculated by the calculation unit 242 with the lower flow rate limit and the upper flow rate limit. Thus, the alarm unit 250 outputs an alarm when the current output flow rate of the flow rate output end 212 is lower than a preset lower flow rate limit value or higher than a preset upper flow rate limit value.
In the above embodiment, in order to obtain the current output flow rate at the flow rate output end 212, calculation is performed based on the temperature, the pressure, and the damper pipe parameter, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, flow rate measurement means such as a mass flow meter may be provided in the flow path, and whether or not to output an alarm may be determined based on the measured flow rate value. In this case, the pressure sensing unit 230 and the calculating unit 242 may be omitted, and the damping tube may not be provided.
The following describes a flow rate control method for aging of a collection pipe according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the flow control method for aging of the trap pipe.
In the method for controlling the flow rate for degradation of the collection pipe, first, in step S301, it is determined whether or not the current output flow rate of the purge gas output to the collection pipe is lower than a preset lower flow rate limit value.
If it is determined as "yes", the process proceeds to step S302, where heating of the collection pipe is stopped, an alarm is output, and the flow ends.
If the determination is "no", the process proceeds to step S303, where it is determined whether or not the current output flow rate of the purge gas to be output to the collection pipe is higher than a preset flow rate upper limit value.
If yes, the process proceeds to step S304, where an alarm is output, and the flow ends.
If the determination is "no", the process returns to S301 to execute the determination in a loop.
As described above, the current output flow rate of the purge gas to the trap may be calculated from the current temperature of the purge gas in the trap, the current pressure of the purge gas, and parameters of the damper tube for generating resistance to the purge gas, or may be measured by providing a flow rate measurement unit such as a mass flow meter in the flow path. The form of outputting the alarm may be any one or more of lighting (for example, red light), giving a buzzer or displaying a character, or may be other forms.
[ other embodiments ]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
For example, the manifold aging apparatus 200 may further include a display unit on which the calculated or measured current output flow is displayed, and may also simultaneously display the current pressure and the current temperature of the purge gas in the flow output unit 210.
in addition, the current temperature of the purge gas in the flow output unit 210 may be manually input by a user, or may be obtained by automatically reading data in real time from the temperature control unit 220.
Further, in order to filter the purge gas, a filtering device may be provided upstream of the flow output unit 210.
Further, in step S302 of fig. 3, when the flow rate is too low, heating of the collection pipe is stopped and an alarm is output, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and only an alarm may be output.
In the above embodiment, the damper pipe is made of stainless steel, but is not limited thereto, and any material may be used as long as it has stable properties, is resistant to high temperature, and is not easily corroded by the purge gas.
As the purge gas, nitrogen gas may be used, but other gases having stable properties may be used.
