This invention relates to a method of and means for conveying and measuring gases for gas analysis operations by means of a pump, which conveys the gas with constant volume per working cycle. The means for this purpose, as used in connection with gas analysis instruments, consists of a cyclically operating gas delivery pump with an electric motor drive which is connected to a frequency transmitter for pre-setting the speed of rotation.

Method of and means for conveying and measuring gases for gas analysis

An apparatus for checking gas analysis devices in respect of their sensitivity and their response and regeneration behaviour with respect to time, wherein a reproducible quantity of the measurement component is produced at a predetermined production rate, for a period of time which is guided entirely or at a constant proportion as a concentration pulse to the measurement element of the gas analysis device. For the production of the measurement component a chemical or electro-chemical reaction or even a thermal reaction is used. The time interval can then be conveniently controlled. A decisive advantage with toxic measurement components is that the gas production takes place in all cases for only a short time during the test procedure.

Method for checking gas analysis devices

An electrochemical gas detector based on an electrolytic measurement cell having a normally solid organic electrolyte. The gas component to be detected diffuses out of the gas chamber at a three phase border (electrolyte-electrode-gas chamber) and there causes a change in the electrochemical equilibrium. As a result in an outer closing circuit a measurable electrical current is produced. The electrolyte consists of an anhydrous organic gel with a very low vapor pressure. The gas chamber adjacent to the three phase border constitutes a partly sealed cavity, which is in communication with the gas atmosphere to be examined via an absorption filter selectively permeable to the measurement component. The length of the cavity is dimensioned so as to be so short that practically no back diffusion of the measurement component through the filter takes place.

Electrochemical gas detector and method of using same

In a process for the removal of samples from flue gases or other highly concentrated exhaust gases, before the sample is removed from the main stream of exhaust gas it is diluted with a carrier gas which is free from this exhaust gas. The sample is diluted in the main stream of exhaust gas by a carrier gas introduced from outside. The diluted sample can then be analyzed in conventional gas analyzers.

In the gas detector the gas stream to be investigated is conveyed past one of two electrodes of a measuring cell. The two electrodes are in contact with an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte is an anhydrous organic gel. The gas component to be measured changes the electrochemical equilibrium at one of the two electrodes and produces thereby in the outer closing circuit a measurable electrical current which is a measure of the concentration of the gas component, to be detected.
