1. A method for the controlled admixing of at least one gas or a gas mixture to a gas flow, so that, after the admixing to the gas flow, the gas or gas mixture has a preadjusted and/or preadjustable concentration in said gas flow, said method comprising the steps:
- a) determining at least one of a volume flow rate and pressure of the gas flow, b) determining an actual value of at least one of a volume flow rate and pressure of the at least one gas or gas mixture to be admixed;
c) calculating, as a function of the determined at least one volume flow rate and pressure of the gas flow, a desired value of at least one of the volume flow rate and the pressure of the at least one gas or gas mixture to be admixed;
d) comparing the desired value with the determined actual value; and
e) modify the actual value to the desired value as a function of the difference between the desired value and the actual value, by influencing a pressure of the at least one gas or gas mixture to be admixed with a pressure controller.

Abstract
A method and system for the controlled admixing of at least one gas or gas mixture to a gas (mixture) flow, so that, after the admixing to the gas (mixture) flow, the gas or gas mixture has a preadjusted and/or preadjustable concentration in this gas (mixture) flow by use of a pressure controller.

11. A system for the controlled admixing of at least one gas or a gas mixture to a gas flow, whereby, after the admixing to the gas flow, the gas or gas mixture has at least one of a preadjusted and preadjustable concentration in said gas flow, said system comprising:
-
a) a first measuring unit for detecting at least one of a volume flow rate and pressure of the gas flow, b) a second measuring unit for detecting an actual value of at least one of a volume flow rate and pressure of the gas or gas mixture to be admixed, c) an analyzing unit in which, as a function of the least one of a determined volume flow rate and pressure of the gas flow, the desired value of the at least one volume flow rate and the pressure of the gas or gas mixture to be admixed is calculated and is compared with the measured actual value, and d) a pressure controller associated with the gas or gas mixture flow to be admixed and which is controlled by the analyzing unit, so that the actual value is adapted to the desired value as a function of the difference between the desired value and the actual value. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
