Abstract
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.
Claims4
A method for the removal of samples for the purpose of analysis from a stream of exhaust gas, wherein the stream of exhaust gas is diluted with a carrier gas which is free from the gas to be analysed before the sample is removed from the stream of exhaust gas.
An apparatus for the removal of samples for the purpose of anlaysis from a stream of exhaust gas, comprising means for diluting the stream with a carrier gas including a jet pump through which the carrier gas flows and in which the stream of exhaust gas passes over intake apertures therein whereby the carrier gas in the jet pump draws a sample of the exhaust gas from the stream of exhaust gas and is mixed with it, means for removing the sample from the diluted stream, and means for conveying the sample to an analyzer comprising a discharge conduit connected to the jet pump.
An apparatus for the removal of samples for the purpose of analysis from a stream of exhaust gas comprising means for diluting the stream with a carrier gas including a mixing chamber having at least one aperture through which exhaust gas diffuses into the mixing chamber, and a carrier gas conduit connected to the mixing chamber which is at a higher pressure than the main stream of exhaust gas when in use, means for removing the sample from the diluted stream, and means for conveying the sample to an analyzer comprising a gas discharge conduit connected to the mixing chamber.
An apparatus for the removal of samples for the purpose of analysis from a stream of exhaust gas comprising means for diluting the stream with a carrier gas including a mixing chamber having at least one intake aperture through which exhaust gas is sucked into the mixing chamber from the main stream, a periodically operating piston pump connected to the mixing chamber so that the volume of the mixing chamber varies periodically with the volume of the cylinder and, a carrier gas supply conduit connected to the mixing chamber which is at a higher pressure than the stream of exhaust gas when in use, means for removing the sample from the diluted stream, and means for conveying the sample to an analyser comprising a gas discharge conduit connected to the mixing chamber.
