Abstract: A sampling device for a gas analyzer in which a constant-rate flow of diluted sample gas is sampled by a constant-volume sampling device. A gas inlet port of a sampling passage of the constant-volume sampling device is positioned in a throat portion of a main venturi tube, or slightly upstream or downstream of the throat portion. A cold trap is provided downstream of the sampling passage to collect and supply a portion of the sampled gas to be analyzed. A capillary is provided upstream of the cold trap so that a flow rate can be set by the differential upstream and downstream pressures. The velocity of the diluted sample gas in the throat portion of the main venturi tube is approximately Mach one, so that the sampling thereof is unaffected by pressure or flow-rate changes elsewhere in the system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a robot to simulate driving of a motor vehicle while the vehicle is actually on a chassis dynamometer includes provision for quickly, automatically, and accurately determining an accelerator gain factor to be used by the robot in actuating the accelerator of the motor vehicle to achieve predetermined vehicle speeds and accelerations. As a result, the simulated driving of the motor vehicle can be achieved so that the vehicle may be tested according to a predetermined travel pattern. To determine the accelerator gain, a proportional gain is determined on the basis of differences in incremental accelerator openings and resulting accelerations's while the motor vehicle is in a selected transmission gear. A product of the gain multiplied by a coefficient based on the various transmission ratios available is used as the accelerator gain dependent upon the particular transmission ratio selected during a test sequence.

Abstract: A drain separator in a gas analyzer is provided to rapidly remove drain or condensate from a gas flow by creating a rotary motion in the gas flow prior to introducing it into a separating chamber. In an exemplary embodiment, separating chamber 2, formed as a downwardly divergent conical space, connects with gas-inlet passage 6 at its upper end and an exhaust gas-outlet passage 3 at the periphery of its base. A sample gas-outlet passage 8 is disposed within separating chamber 2 in a coaxially aligned, vertically spaced opposing relationship to gas-inlet passage 6. Rotation of the gas flow may be accomplished by a vane 7, disposed within gas-inlet passage 6. Upon introduction of the rotating gas flow into separating chamber 2, the pressure on the flow is reduced causing the drain to condense and become distributed about the circumference of the low pressure gas flow.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring particulates in a combustion gas is accomplished by dividing the combustion gas into a first and second sample gas. The first sample gas is filtered to remove particulates to create a reference gas sample. A combustion furnace can heat both the reference gas sample and the sample gas to oxidize any particulates in the sample gas. A gas analyzer that is connected to the furnace can detect the gas components in, respectively, the reference gas sample and the sample gas, and a comparison of the detected results can determine the concentration of particulates.

Abstract: An apparatus for indirectly measuring or controlling the separation ratio of a gas to be measured or controlled when passing through a branch passage. A diluent gas with a known and adjustable flow rate is supplied to each of the branched passages through which the gas to be measured flows. The difference in the concentration of a specified gas in each of the branched passages is then measured. If the difference is equal to zero, then the separation ratio of the diluent gas is equal to the separation ratio of the gas to be measured. Alternatively, the separation ratio of the diluent gas may be set to a predetermined desired value and the flow of the gas to be measured controlled until the detected difference in concentration is equal to zero, at which point the separation ratio of the gas to be measured is equal to the separation ratio of the diluent gas.
