  • Publication number: 20180088093
    Abstract: A device for the verification of organic compounds, comprising a miniaturized flame ionization detector (2) with a combustion chamber (3) for the analysis of a sample gas, having at least one oxygen feed line (4) to the combustion chamber (3), and having at least one hydrogen feed line (5) to the combustion chamber (3) and an electrolyzer for the generation of hydrogen and oxygen. To provide a device for the mobile verification of organic compounds, which has a low maintenance effort and a high reliability, the electrolyzer is designed as a PEM electrolyzer (6).

  • Patent number: 9470420
    Abstract: Counterflow burner having a combustion chamber (5) to which combustible gas (B) and an oxidising agent (0) can be fed from opposite sides, having three planar substrates (1, 2, 3) which are interconnected, lying one above the other, the middle substrate (2) having the combustion chamber (5), from which passages (4), lying in the plane of the substrate, lead to the edge, the upper substrate (3) and the lower substrate (1) being closed, and at least the middle substrate (2) is produced using methods of microsystem technology.

  • Patent number: 8305086
    Abstract: The flame ionization detector, which comprises a supply and an ignition device (7) for the combustible gas, a supply for the sample gas, a combustion chamber (4) in which the sample gas is ionized by the flame, and electrodes (8, 1) to which a voltage is applied in order to generate and measure the ion current, is distinguished in that it is constructed as an integrated planar system of at least three parallel platelet-like substrates (1, 2, 3) which are connected to one another and are processed by microsystem technology methods, with a central substrate (1) comprising nozzles (5, 6) for the gases and the ignition device (7) and a recess which forms a part of the combustion chamber (4), is completed by recesses in the neighboring substrates (2, 3) and is essentially closed together with the nozzle region by these substrates (2, 3), and the neighboring substrates (2, 3) comprise supply channels (10, 11) for the gases.
