Definitions

  • An arrangement for the quantitative analysis of gases which are liberated from the gas source includes a pump system connected to the source, to collect the gas to be analyzed, a gas collecting space connected to the pump system discharge, and a device for inserting measured amounts of calibration gas, from a source thereof, into the gas collecting space.
  • the pump system comprises a two-stage or multi-stage pump system, with the stages being interconnected by connection lines.
  • the calibrating gas insertion device is connected into the connecting line between two successive pump stages.
  • Arrangements for the analysis of gases liberated from a gas source customarily comprise a pump system connected to the gas source and a gas collecting space into which the gases to be analyzed are pumped, the gases subsequently being analyzed, such as quantitatively, by means of suitable measuring devices.
  • a calibration system has hitherto been connected at the location of the source of the gas to be analyzed or, in other words, at the suction side of the pump system and, through the pump system, a predetermined amount of the calibration gas is inserted into the gas collection space.
  • the calibration gas has been inserted directly into the vacuum extraction furnace.
  • This known procedure or arrangement has the disadvantage that the required calibration gas connecting lines, with their shut-off valves, enlarge the volume on the suction side of the pump system. This has an unfavorable consequence during the subsequent analysis of the gases liberated from the gas source, particularly if the pumps used have a small suction capacity.
  • the reason for this is that, if the extraction of the sample is to take place sufiiciently complete within a predetermined period, such as, for example, one second, with the analysis being complete to a degree of, for example, 99%, then the quotient formed from the free volume, which is connected at the suction side of the pump system, and the suction capacity of the pump, is not supposed to exceed a predetermined amount. In the example given above, this amount is 0.22 s.
  • This invention relates to the quantitative analysis of gases liberated from a gas source and, more particularly, to an improved and simplified arrangement of this type 1n which the disadvantageous effect of the dead volume of the dosage system is eliminated.
  • An arrangement for the quantitative analysis of gases liberated from a gas source embodying the invention, has, in common with the prior art, a pump system which is connected to the gas source for collecting the gas to be determined. Furthermore, the invention arrangement has a gas collecting space connected to the exhaust of the pump system, as well as an arrangement for the insertion of a dosed amount of calibration gas into the gas collectmg space.
  • the arrangement is characterized in that the pump system is arranged as a two-stage or multi-stage system, and the calibration gas dosage device merges or discharges into the connecting line between two pump stages.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an improved arrangement for the quantitative analysis of gases liberated from a gas source.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such an arrangement in which a pump system, connected to the source, is designed as a plural-stage pump system with an insertion device for calibration gas being connected into a connecting line between two successive pump stages.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide such an arrangement which is simple, inexpensive, and efficient.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such an arrangement in which the disadvantageous effect of the dead volume of the dosage system is prevented.
  • a source which liberates or gives off the gas to be analyzed, is indicated at 1.
  • the source will liberate the gases under subatmospheric pressure conditions, for example, the source may be a vacuum hot extraction furnace.
  • a two-stage mechanical pump system is connected to gas source 1 for the purpose of collecting the gas to be analyzed and for supplying this gas to the gas measuring device 2.
  • Measuring device 2 may be of any suitable kind and may, for example, be based on measuring the infrared absorption of the has, its heat conducting capacities, or other physical or chemical characteristics.
  • the two-stage pump system comprises rotary vane type vacuum pump stages 3 and 4.
  • the first pump stage 3 compresses gas from the pressure of source 1 to an average pressure.
  • the second stage 4 compresses the gas from this average pressure to the pressure prevailing in the gas collecting space 2.
  • This last-mentioned pressure usually is also a subatmospheric pressure, and the gas collecting space, prior to starting the analysis, is evacuated or exhausted by an additional pump which has not been illustrated.
  • a calibration gas inlet or insertion means is provided and, in accordance with the invention, communicates with the space connecting pump stages 3 and 4, specifically, it communicates with connecting line 6.
  • the drawing illustrates a shut-off valve 7 in the calibration gas connecting line, the measuring volume 8 for the calibration gas, and a second shut-off valve 10 which permits insertion, from the calibration gas supply 9, of a predetermined amount of calibration gas into the calibration gas measuring volume 8. Subsequently, upon opening valve 7, this measured volume of calibration gas flows into the gas collecting space 2.
  • the invention arrangement in which two-stage or multi-stage pump systems are provided, has the advantage that, in the connecting line between two pump stages, the pressure is so low that the calibration gas amount can be quantitatively inserted into the system.
  • the pressure may, if desired, already be so high that the calibration gas is no longer completely drawn into the gas collecting chamber or space 2.
  • the gas collected in space 2, in accordance with the invention, is then subjected to analysis and investigation by means of measuring devices which are connected to the gas collecting chamber 2 or which form, with the gas collecting chamber 2, a structural unit.
  • v1 In an arrangement for the quantitative analysis of gases which are liberated from a gas source, and including a pump system connected to the source, to collect the gas to be analyzed, a gas collecting chamber connected to the pump system discharge, and a device for inserting measured amounts of calibration gas into the gas collecting chamber, the improvement comprising, in combination, said pump system including plural pump stages interconnected by connection lines; and means connecting said insertion device into the connecting line between two pump stages.
