The present invention is an exhaust gas flow rate measuring unit that eliminates the disturbance of the flow velocity distribution of exhaust gas flowing through an attachment pipe to accurately measure an exhaust gas flow rate, and is mounted in a vehicle to measure the flow rate of exhaust gas emitted from an exhaust pipe of the vehicle. In addition, the exhaust gas flow rate measuring unit includes the attachment pipe that is connected to the exhaust pipe and forms a flow path through which the exhaust gas flows, a flowmeter that is provided in the flow path and measures the flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing through the flow path, and a straightening mechanism that is provided on the upstream side of the flowmeter in the flow path.

Exhaust gas flow rate measuring unit and exhaust gas analyzing apparatus

In a gas analysis apparatus including analyzers that need ignition, such as FIDs, in order to make it possible to surely ignite the analyzers while downsizing the entire apparatus, the apparatus includes first and second analyzers to accept a sample gas, a first gas line provided with the first analyzer, a second gas line provided with the second analyzer and joined downstream of the first analyzer in the first gas line. At least one of the first analyzer and the second analyzer is configured to cause pressure fluctuations in the gas line including the analyzer when analyzing the sample gas. A first backflow prevention mechanism is disposed between another of the analyzers and a junction of the gas lines. The first backflow prevention mechanism is configured to prevent a fluid from flowing backward from the one of the analyzers through the junction toward the another of the analyzers.

Gas analysis apparatus

An exhaust gas analyzing apparatus of a vehicle mounted type equipped with an analyzer that is configured to analyze components contained in exhaust gas includes a sampling line that is an exhaust gas flow path extending from an exhaust gas introduction terminal that is configured to introduce the exhaust gas from the outside to the analyzer; a pressure reduction source that is configured to reduce a pressure in the sampling line to a predetermined pressure; and a temperature-regulating mechanism that is configured to regulate a temperature of the exhaust gas flowing in the sampling line to be at least a first temperature. The first temperature is set to be a temperature equal to or higher than an evaporation temperature of moisture at the reduced predetermined pressure and lower than an evaporation temperature of moisture at one atmospheric pressure.

Exhaust gas analyzing apparatus

A differential pressure type emission flow rate measuring method and apparatus and an emission measuring system are capable of correcting measuring error occurring due to pulsation appropriately and enhancing the measuring precision of flow rate. In measuring the flow rate of an emission exhausted from an engine, an accurate flow rate in spite of pulsation is determined by using a differential pressure type flowmeter. The detected differential pressure signal is resolved by frequency, and is corrected by using a correction coefficient predetermined depending on each frequency obtained by frequency resolution.
