Exhaust-gas analyzer
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An exhaust-gas analyzer such as for emissions testing of motor-vehicle engines comprises:
- a sampling tube into which a mixture of exhaust gas and ambient air is fed through gas lines;
a gas feed pump disposed downstream of said sampling tube;
a flowmeter disposed in an air line upstream of said gas feed pump and producing electrical signals; and
a computing unit, which computes the instantaneous standard total flow rate using said electrical signals, while allowing for gas pressure and gas temperature.

Abstract
An exhaust-gas analyzer, particularly for emissions testing of motor-vehicle engines has a sampling tube into which a mixture of exhaust gas and ambient air is fed through gas lines. A gas feed pump is disposed downstream of the sampling tube with a flowmeter inserted in the air line feeding electrical signals to a computing unit. The unit computes instantaneous standard total flow rate, allowing for gas pressure and temperature.

18. An exhaust-gas analyzer comprising:
-
an air intake line having an inlet and an outlet; an exhaust gas intake line having an inlet and an outlet; a flowmeter, said flowmeter being disposed between said inlet and said outlet of said air intake line; a stabilizing section, said stabilizing section having a first end and a second end, said first end of said stabilizing section being connected to said outlet of said air intake line and to said outlet of said exhaust gas intake line; a gas feed pump, said gas feed pump being connected to said second end of said stabilizing section; means for withdrawing a sample, said means for withdrawing a sample being disposed between said first end and said second end of said stabilizing section; a computer; and a gas temperature and pressure sensor, said gas temperature and pressure sensor being disposed in said stabilizing section and providing signals to said computer. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
