  • Patent number: 11959893
    Abstract: The gas chromatograph system 10 has the gas chromatograph 1, and a detector 2. The detector 2 has the redox unit 14. The redox unit 14 has the reaction tube 142, the oxidation zone 146 and the reduction zone 147. The reduction zone 147 is disposed on the downstream side of the oxidation zone 146. The reduction zone 147 is disposed out of a position perpendicular direction above the oxidation zone 146. Hence, even if the air heated around the oxidation zone 146 moved upward by convection, the reduction zone 147 is prevented from being exposed to such hot air.

  • Publication number: 20230384270
    Abstract: A gas chromatograph includes an oven that has a first heater device and a second heater device. The first heater device and the second heater device are connected in series when a voltage of a power supply is a first voltage, and are connected in parallel when the voltage of the power supply is a second voltage that is lower than the first voltage. A power controller includes a first control device that controls ON/OFF of supply of power to the series-connected first heater device and second heater device or ON/OFF of supply of power to the parallel-connected first heater device, and a second control device that controls ON/OFF of supply of power to the parallel-connected second heater device. A controller adjusts a duty ratio of supply of power to the parallel-connected first heater device and second heater device by controlling the first control device and the second control device when the voltage of the power supply is the second voltage.

  • Publication number: 20220026406
    Abstract: A component analysis system includes a gas chromatograph having a separation column, and a component detector, the component detector including an oxidation-reduction furnace that has a first flow path through which a gas including a sample component separated by the separation column flows, and oxidizes and reduces the sample component in the gas flowing through the first flow path, a reaction cell that has an inlet for the gas including the reduced sample component and generates a chemical reaction accompanied by emission of light with respect to the sample component introduced from the inlet, a photodetector that detects light generated in the reaction cell, and a holding member that holds the oxidation-reduction furnace and the reaction cell, and a downstream end of the first flow path and the inlet of the reaction cell are directly connected or connected via a second flow path.

  • Patent number: 5271894
    Abstract: In a chemiluminescent analyzer for measuring a concentration of an object gas in a sample gas by mixing the sample gas with 5 a reaction gas and measuring light generated in a chemical reaction between the object gas and the reaction gas, the two gases flow through a double tube composed of an outer tube and an inner tube, and are mixed at the end of the tubes. The end of the inner tube is closed, and one or more outlets are provided at the side wall of the inner tube near the closed end. The flow of the gas coming out of the inner tube through the outlet or outlets crosses the flow of the gas in the outer tube, which enhances the mixture of the two gases and increases the chance of reaction between the object gas and the reaction gas.

  • Patent number: 5270009
    Abstract: Relation of the degree of interference to interference concentration is previously stored with respect to at least one interference gas influencing an oxygen indicated value of a sample gas, so that interference corresponding to interference gas concentration of the sample gas is corrected on the basis of the stored relation when oxygen concentration is calculated from a detection signal of an oxygen sensor and outputted. Concentration of the interference gas, with respect to which the relation of the degree of interference is stored, is manually inputted in measurement, or previously set. When the concentration of the interference gas is previously set, such concentration is made changeable by manual input. Thus, even if the sample gas contains an interference gas in high concentration as in the case of an exhaust gas containing highly concentrated CO.sub.2 gas, it is possible to accurately measure oxygen concentration of the sample gas.
