The present invention is intended that diluted exhaust gas is supplied to a plurality of measurement instruments by a single exhaust gas dilution device to thereby reduce in size an exhaust gas measurement system incorporated with the exhaust gas dilution device and dilute exhaust gas with the same exhaust gas under the same dilution condition in the plurality of measurement instruments.

Exhaust gas dilution device

A verification system includes a reference gas supply part that supplies reference gas in place of exhaust gas and is configured to be able to verify the consistency between a supply amount of the reference gas from the reference gas supply part and a measured value of the reference gas measured by an analyzer. The verification system further includes a control part that receives a setting flow rate signal that is a signal indicating a setting flow rate and an analysis range signal that is a signal indicating an analysis range of the analyzer, calculates a target supply amount of the reference gas on the basis of the setting flow rate and the analysis range indicated by the respective signals, and controls the reference gas supply part so as to make the reference gas supply amount by the reference gas supply part equal to the target supply amount.

Exhaust gas analyzer verification system

An exhaust gas analyzing system includes, on an upstream side of an analytical instrument, an exhaust gas introduction pipe of which one end is opened to an exhaust gas flow path through which exhaust gas from an engine flows and the other end is connected to the analytical instrument. A switching mechanism selectively switches between a sampling path that samples the exhaust gas from the exhaust gas introduction pipe to introduce the sampled exhaust gas into the analytical instrument and an air introduction path that introduces air into the analytical instrument. When the engine is operated, a path to the analytical instrument is switched to the sampling path by the switching mechanism. When the engine is stopped, the path is switched to the air introduction path by the switching mechanism.

Exhaust gas analyzing system and exhaust gas analyzing method

The present invention is provided with a control device that sets a split flow ratio that is a ratio of the flow rate of the diluted exhaust gas to be sampled through a diluted exhaust gas sampling flow path to a flow rate of a diluted exhaust gas flowing through a CVS, wherein the control device uses the flow rate (QCVS) of the diluted exhaust gas flowing through the CVS or a value (TCVS or PCVS) related to the flow rate (QCVS) of the diluted exhaust gas to set the split flow ratio (Qsamp/QCVS) so as to make a flow velocity (Vfilter) of the diluted exhaust gas flowing into an analytical device equal to a predetermined value.

Exhaust gas sampling apparatus

A control apparatus for a gas analyzer system for controlling a plurality of analyzers having different hardware constitutions in a single program works on a single CPU. The control apparatus includes a processing unit with a CPU which is connected with each gas analyzer by a CPU bus to control each gas analyzer. Each gas analyzer is provided with a plurality of AD converters having respectively a plurality of analog input ports in which the respective output signals of the gas analyzer units are inputted, and a non-volatile memory unit for storing a connection condition table which shows the connection condition of the gas analyzer unit to the AD converters, by connecting with the CPU bus, thereby making it possible for the CPU in the analyzer processing unit to control the respective gas analyzers by a single program.

Control apparatus for gas analyzer system and control method thereof

A sampling apparatus for exhaust gas is capable of calibrating two flowmeters each other easily and precisely. A diluting air supply passage for diluting the sampled exhaust gas is connected to an upstream side of a diluting tunnel. A first flowmeter for measuring flow rate of air is provided in the diluting air supply passage. A measuring passage having a filter for capturing particulate matter in the exhaust gas diluted with the diluting air and a second flowmeter for measuring the flow rate of the diluted exhaust gas flowing this filter are connected to a downstream side of the diluting channel. Both flowmeters have high precision. A passage changeover part is provided at the downstream side of the first flowmeter of the diluting air supply passage; a passage changeover part is provided at the upstream side of the second flowmeter in the measuring passage; and a bypass passage is provided between the two passage changeover parts. After calibrating one flowmeter by using a bypass passage, the other flowmeter is calibrated by using the calibrated flowmeter.
