Abstract
In order to degas a device (7), an apparatus (10) is provided that comprises a control unit (19), a pump (3), a first volume (1), a second volume (2), a first valve (12) and a second valve (13). At the discharge end, the pump (3) is connected to the first volume (1), and at the intake end, the pump (3) is connected to the second volume (2) via the second valve (13) and can be connected to the device (7) to be degassed. The first volume (1) and the second volume (2) are connected via the first valve (12).
Claims18
An apparatus comprising a degassing vessel which is configured to be filled with a liquid to be degassed, the apparatus further comprising:
- a pump, which, at a discharge end, is connected to a first volume,
- wherein the first volume is connected to a second volume via a first valve,
- wherein, at an intake end, the pump is connected to the second volume via a second valve and is configured to be connected to the degassing vessel, and
- a control unit configured to activate the pump and the first and second valves, the control unit being configured to open the first valve and close the second valve and to then pump gas, from the degassing vessel, into the first volume and into the second volume, which is connected to the first volume, by means of the pump.
A test system comprising:
- an evaluation unit and an apparatus comprising a degassing vessel which is configured to be filled with a liquid to be degassed in order to carry out an analysis of the gas in or from the degassing vessel,
- wherein the apparatus further comprises:
- a pump, which, at a discharge end, is connected to a first volume,
- wherein the first volume is connected to a second volume via a first valve,
- wherein, at an intake end, the pump is connected to the second volume via a second valve and is configured to be connected to the degassing vessel, and
- a control unit configured to activate the pump and the first and second valves, the control unit being configured to open the first valve and close the second valve and to then pump gas, from the degassing vessel, into the first volume and into the second volume, which is connected to the first volume, by means of the pump, and
- wherein the evaluation unit is configured to analyze the gas pumped into the first volume and, depending on the analysis, to draw up a result of the testing of the device degassing vessel.
