Title:
可燃性モニタおよび監視方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4183281
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An apparatus (1) for determining the concentration of a critical first component, such as hydrogen, of an atmosphere or environment (E), wherein the first component is capable of forming a combustible mixture with a second component, such as oxygen; the apparatus comprises: (A) a sampling unit (10) including: (A1) a small measuring chamber (12) operatively connected with an ignition means (135) capable of being operated so as to initiate in said chamber a combustion of said critical first component by reaction with said second component, and (A2) at least one sensor (15) operatively connected with said measuring chamber for generating a signal formed by essentially proportionate contributions from all significant components contained in said measuring chamber; (B) at least one flame arrestor (14) intervening between said measuring chamber (12) and aid environment (E) of interest; and (C) a control unit (16) capable of imposing a mode of operation in at least two distinct phases wherein, during a first phase, said environment of interest is allowed to accumulate in said measuring chamber; and wherein, during a second phase, said ignition means is operated for initiating said combustion in said chamber; and (D) a means (17) for evaluating at least one signal generated by said at least one sensor before operation of said ignition means, and at least one signal generated by said at least one sensor after operation of said ignition means so as to generate a signal (S) which is indicative of said concentration of said critical first component in said environment of interest.
