Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、大気を吸引し触媒を通してゼロガスを精製し、ゼロガスとスパン校正用ガスを所定の比で混合する希釈装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来のこの種希釈装置は、例えば図3に示す構成になっている。同図において、1はゼロガス供給路であり、その上流側にフィルタ2を介して吸引ポンプ3が設けられ、その下流側にニードルバルブ4,ドライヤユニット5,ゼロガス精製器6が設けられている。なお、前記ドライヤユニット5には、例えばシリカゲルが用いられている。7はゼロガス供給路1の吸引ポンプ3とニードルバルブ4との間に接続された排出流路であり、排出流路7に、例えば内径φ0.2mm〜φ0.5mmのキャピラリ8が設けられている。
9はスパン校正用ガスSPが収容されたボンベであり、このボンベ9に接続されたスパン校正用ガス供給路10及び前記ゼロガス供給路1が、ゼロガス精製器6の下流側に設けられた混合器11に接続されている。12は混合器11の下流側に接続された流量計である。
【0003】
そして、分析計(図示せず)をゼロ校正する場合、吸引ポンプ3により大気Aを吸引し、ドライヤユニット5を通して除湿し、ゼロガス精製器6により大気中の成分、例えばSO2 ,NO等を除去し、ゼロガスZGを精製して分析計へ供給しゼロ校正を行う。
また、分析計をスパン校正する場合、前記と同様、ゼロガスZGを精製すると同時に、混合器11において、ボンベ9のスパン校正用ガスSPとゼロガスZGを所定の比で混合し、得られた所定濃度のガスを分析計へ供給してスパン校正を行う。前記混合器11での希釈比は、例えば、約1/1000等に設定されている。
前記いずれの場合も、吸引ポンプ3の加圧で発生した大気A中の水分はキャピラリ8を介して排出される。なお、吸引ポンプ3で加圧された水分は、大気Aの水分濃度により変動する。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記希釈装置の場合、吸引ポンプ3の加圧で発生する大気A中の水分はキャピラリ8を介して排出されるが、経年変化による汚れ等により、キャピラリ8の内壁に微粒子が付着し、キャピラリ8の目詰まりが生じるという問題がある。
そして、キャピラリ8の目詰まりにより、ニードルバルブ4までの流路の圧力が変化するため、混合器11の希釈比が、最初に設定された値から大きく変化し、混合器11の精度が低くなるという問題がある。
【0005】
また、キャピラリ8の代わりにドレン排出用ポンプを用いた場合、キャピラリ8に比して、コストが倍以上高くなるとともに、メンテナンスの頻度も大きいという問題がある。
【0006】
本発明は、上述の事柄に留意してなされたもので、その目的とするところは、ゼロガス供給路の圧力を一定にし、混合器の希釈比を安定させ、混合器の精度を向上し、メンテナンスの頻度が少なく安価な希釈装置を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の希釈装置は、大気を吸引する吸引ポンプが設けられ、その下流側に供給量設定用のニードルバルブ及び触媒を通してゼロガスを精製するゼロガス精製器が設けられたゼロガス供給路と、スパン校正用ガス供給路と、前記ゼロガス供給路及びスパン校正用ガス供給路の下流側に接続されて前記ゼロガスとスパン校正用ガスを所定の比で混合する混合器とを備え、この混合器の上流側で前記ゼロガス供給路における吸引ポンプとニードルバルブとの間には、前記吸引ポンプの加圧で発生した大気中の水分を排出する排出流路が接続されている希釈装置において、
前記排出流路に、ゼロガス供給路内のガス圧力が所定圧力より高くなったとき、開弁してガスを排出し前記吸引ポンプとニードルバルブとの間のゼロガス供給路にかかる圧力を一定にコントロールする調圧弁が設けられていることを特徴とするものである。
【0008】
したがって、ゼロガス供給路に接続された排出流路にゼロガス供給路にかかる圧力を一定にコントロールする調圧弁を設けたため、ゼロガス供給路の圧力を常に一定にコントロールすることができ、最初に設定された一定流量のガスを混合器に供給することができ、混合器の希釈比を安定して保持することができ、混合器の精度を向上することができる。
【0009】
また、排出流路に設けた調圧弁は、キャピラリに比してメンテナンスの頻度が少なく、ドレン排出用ポンプに比して安価であるという利点がある。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
実施の1形態につき、図1および図2を参照して説明する。それらの図において、図3と同一符号は同一もしくは相当するものを示す。
まず、概略構成を示した図1において、図3と異なる点は、ゼロガス供給路1に接続された排出流路7に、例えば内径φ6mmの調圧弁13を設けた点である。
【0011】
つぎに調圧弁13の構成を示した図2において、14は筒状の調圧弁本体であり、本体14のガス流路15の上側にばね受用凹部16が形成され、下側に開閉用凹部17が形成され、ガス流路15の上端にガス導入口18が形成され、下端にガス排出口19が形成されている。20は弁体であり、ガス流路15に下方から挿通されて上下動自在に設けられ、弁体20の上側の軸部21がばね受用凹部16内に位置し、弁体20の下側の開閉部22が開閉用凹部17内に位置し、この開閉部22の環状溝23にOリング24が嵌入されている。25はばね受用凹部16に設けられたばね、26は周縁部に複数個の切欠26aが形成された環状のばね受体であり、弁体20の軸部21の端部に螺合し、ばね受体26によりばね25が圧縮され、ばね25により弁体20が上方に付勢され、弁体20の開閉部22のシール面Sが本体14の開閉用凹部17のシール面S’に圧接し、開閉用凹部17を気密に閉塞している。
そして、ゼロガス供給路1に接続されたガス流路15のガス導入口18にかかるガス圧が所定圧力より高くなると、ばね受体26を介してばね25が圧縮され、図2の鎖線に示すように、弁体20が下方へ付勢されて移動し、弁体20の開閉部22のシール面Sが本体14の開閉用凹部17のシール面S’から離脱し、開閉用凹部17が開放され、ガス排出口19からガスが排出される。
【0012】
そして、調圧弁13により、吸引ポンプ3とニードルバルブ4との間の流路にかかる圧力が、例えば0.3kg/cm2 Gにコントロールされ、これにより、ニードルバルブ4にてゼロガスZGの混合器11への供給量が設定され、混合器11の希釈比が安定する。
【0013】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明の希釈装置は、ゼロガス供給路に接続された排出流路にゼロガス供給路内のガス圧力が所定圧力より高くなったとき、開弁してガスを排出し吸引ポンプとニードルバルブとの間のゼロガス供給路にかかる圧力を一定にコントロールする調圧弁を設けたため、ゼロガス供給路の圧力を常に一定に保ち、最初に設定された一定流量のガスが混合器に供給され、混合器の希釈比安定して保持するとともに、混合器の精度向上することができる。
【0014】
また、排出流路に設けた調圧弁は、キャピラリに比してメンテナンスの周期が5倍から6倍以上延長される。
さらに、調圧弁は、ドレン排出用ポンプに比して価格が1/10で、安価である。

The dryer unit 5 is made of, for example, silica gel. Reference numeral 7 denotes a discharge flow path connected between the suction pump 3 and the needle valve 4 of the zero gas supply path 1. The discharge flow path 7 is provided with a capillary 8 having an inner diameter of, for example, 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. .

When the analyzer (not shown) is zero-calibrated, the air A is sucked by the suction pump 3, dehumidified through the dryer unit 5, and components in the air, such as SO 2 and NO, are removed by the zero gas purifier 6. Then, the zero gas ZG is purified and supplied to the analyzer to perform zero calibration.
Further, when the analyzer is subjected to span calibration, the zero gas ZG is purified in the same manner as described above, and at the same time, the span calibration gas SP of the cylinder 9 and the zero gas ZG are mixed at a predetermined ratio in the mixer 11 to obtain a predetermined concentration. Is supplied to the analyzer to perform span calibration. The dilution ratio in the mixer 11 is set to, for example, about 1/1000.
In either case, the water in the atmosphere A generated by pressurization of the suction pump 3 is discharged through the capillary 8. The water pressurized by the suction pump 3 varies depending on the water concentration of the atmosphere A.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the case of the dilution device, water in the atmosphere A generated by pressurization of the suction pump 3 is discharged through the capillary 8, but fine particles adhere to the inner wall of the capillary 8 due to dirt due to aging and the like. There is a problem that clogging occurs.
Since the pressure in the flow path to the needle valve 4 changes due to the clogging of the capillary 8, the dilution ratio of the mixer 11 greatly changes from the initially set value, and the accuracy of the mixer 11 decreases. There is a problem.

Therefore, since a pressure regulating valve for controlling the pressure applied to the zero gas supply path to a constant value is provided in the discharge path connected to the zero gas supply path, the pressure of the zero gas supply path can always be controlled to be constant, and is set first. A constant flow of gas can be supplied to the mixer, the dilution ratio of the mixer can be stably maintained, and the accuracy of the mixer can be improved.
[0009]
Further, the pressure regulating valve provided in the discharge flow path has an advantage that the frequency of maintenance is less than that of the capillary and that it is less expensive than the drain discharge pump.
