Abstract

The present Invention relates to a gaseous sample injection apparatus for a chromatography which is capable of implementing a low temperature adsorption, a sample loop filled with a fixed volume of gaseous sample transferred from the sample gas storing and injection unit, a carrier gas storing tank for carrying the sample gases from the loop to the sample gas analyzing apparatus (GC) and control valves for connecting or disconnecting the sample gas storing and injection unit and the sample loop and connecting or disconnecting the carrier gas storing tank and the loop.

Claims

1. a gaseous sample injection apparatus for a GC, comprising,

sample storing and injection unit for receiving the desorbed sample gases from the adsorption/desorption unit and carried by a carrier gas and moving the same to the next unit;

a first switching valve installed in a connection line for communicating the adsorption/desorption unit with the gaseous sample gas storing and injection unit for selectively opening and closing the flowing path of the connection line;

a sample loop for receiving a certain amount of sample gas supplied from the sample gas storing and injection unit;

a carrier gas storing tank for carrying the sample gases from the loop to the sample gas analyzing apparatus and storing and supplying the sample gas carrier gas; and

a control valve for connecting or disconnecting the sample gas storing and supply apparatus and the sample loop and connecting or disconnecting the carrier gas storing tank and the loop.
