To ensure accurate CEMS measurements, the flue gas analyzer in the CEMS is generally calibrated regularly using standard gas cylinders with standard components. One calibration requires 4-5 bottles of standard gas cylinders to calibrate the different concentrations of a certain component. Calibration of the flue gas analyzer is a regular task, generally once every two weeks. Standard gas cylinders are usually scattered in the CEMS room. A standard gas cylinder weighs about 15kg and is slender and not easy to move. A CEMS room is usually equipped with only one pressure reducing valve. When calibrating the flue gas analyzer, the pressure reducing valve needs to be frequently disassembled to connect the flue gas analyzer to different standard gas cylinders through it, resulting in low calibration efficiency.

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0021] The following combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 A calibration device for calibration with calibration gas according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0022] The calibration device for calibration gas according to an embodiment of the present invention includes multiple calibration gas cylinders, branch pipes 5, and calibration tubes 6. There are multiple calibration gas cylinders, and any two of these cylinders have different measuring ranges. Each calibration gas cylinder is equipped with a first on / off valve 11. Each branch pipe 5 corresponds to a calibration gas cylinder, and the first end of each branch pipe 5 is connected to the corresponding calibration gas cylinder. The first end of each calibration tube 6 is connected to the second end of all branch pipes 5, and the second end of each calibration tube 6 is used to connect to the flue gas analyzer. A pressure reducing valve 10 is installed on each calibration tube 6.

[0023] According to the calibration device for calibration of the standard gas of the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of branch pipes 5 are connected to the calibration tube 6. By opening the first switch valve 11 on any standard gas cylinder and closing the first switch valves 11 on the remaining standard gas cylinders, the standard gas in the corresponding standard gas cylinder can be passed into the calibration tube 6 through the corresponding branch pipe 5, and then transported to the flue gas analyzer through the calibration tube 6 to achieve calibration of the standard gas in the standard gas cylinder. Among them, only one pressure reducing valve 10 needs to be set and set on the calibration tube 6, so that the outlet pressure of the calibration tube 6 can always be kept consistent to ensure the accuracy of the standard gas detection, and the pressure reducing valve 10 does not need to be disassembled to ensure that the flue gas analyzer can achieve calibration of the standard gas in each standard gas cylinder. The calibration efficiency of the flue gas analyzer is high and the calibration cost is low.

[0024] It should be noted that the first switch valve 11 is integrated on the calibration gas cylinder. When the calibration gas in the calibration gas cylinder needs to be calibrated, it is only necessary to manually open the corresponding first switch valve 11 and close the remaining first switch valves 11.

[0025] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, there are four standard gas cylinders, including a first standard gas cylinder 1 for zero gas, a second standard gas cylinder 2 for low-range standard gas, a third standard gas cylinder 3 for mid-range standard gas, and a fourth standard gas cylinder 4 for high-range standard gas.

[0026] The flue gas analyzer can complete the calibration of the flue gas analyzer by calibrating the standard gases in the first standard gas cylinder 1, the second standard gas cylinder 2, the third standard gas cylinder 3 and the fourth standard gas cylinder 4 respectively. At this time, the number of branch pipes 5 is also arranged less, the structure of the standard gas calibration device is simpler, and the cost is lower.

[0027] For example, the first to fourth standard gas cylinders 1 to 4 have the same size and shape, wherein the outer surface of each of the first to fourth standard gas cylinders 1 to 4 can be printed or pasted with a mark representing its range, so as to make it easier for the flue gas analyzer to calibrate the standard gas therein.

[0028] It should be noted that the number of standard gas cylinders may also be five.

[0029] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the calibration gas calibration device further includes a five-way valve 7 , and five interfaces of the five-way valve 7 are respectively connected to the first end of the calibration pipe 6 and the first ends of the four branch pipes 5 .

[0030] The five-way valve 7 is provided to facilitate the parallel connection of the four branch pipes 5 and the series connection with the calibration pipe 6. The calibration gas calibration device has a simple structure and is easy and reliable to assemble.

[0031] For example, the second end of the branch pipe 5 and the first end of the calibration pipe 6 are both provided with a first quick connector, and the five interfaces of the five-way valve 7 are all provided with a second quick connector. The branch pipe 5 and the calibration pipe 6 are both connected to the five-way valve 7 through the docking of the first quick connector and the second quick connector.

[0032] In some embodiments, the five-way valve 7 includes an electronic five-way valve 7 .

[0033] At this time, after the flue gas analyzer is connected to the calibration tube 6, all the first switch valves 11 can be opened at one time, and then the on and off of the corresponding interfaces in the electronic five-way valve 7 can be controlled to realize the calibration of the flue gas analyzer to the standard gas in different standard gas bottles, so that the calibration efficiency of the flue gas analyzer is higher.

[0034] In some embodiments, the calibration gas calibration device further includes a one-way valve 8 or a stop valve, which corresponds one-to-one to the branch pipe 5 and is installed at the second end of the corresponding branch pipe 5 .

[0035] By installing a one-way valve 8 and a stop valve at the second end of the branch pipe 5, the standard gas in the standard gas bottle is effectively prevented from entering other branch pipes 5 or even filling other standard gas bottles when it is transported to the calibration tube 6 through the corresponding branch pipe 5, thereby effectively ensuring the accuracy of the component content of the standard gas in each standard gas bottle.

[0036] For example, Figure 1 As shown, a one-way valve 8 is provided at the second end of each branch pipe 5 .

[0037] In some embodiments, the calibration gas calibration device also includes a three-way valve, an exhaust pipe and a second switch valve, the first interface of the three-way valve is connected to the second end of the calibration tube 6, the second interface of the three-way valve is used to connect with the flue gas analyzer, the third interface of the three-way valve is connected to the first end of the exhaust pipe, and the second switch valve is installed on the exhaust pipe.

[0038] After the calibration of the standard gas in the calibration gas cylinder is completed, the second on-off valve is closed. When calibrating the standard gas in the next calibration gas cylinder, the second on-off valve is first opened to ensure that the standard gas from the previous calibration gas cylinder remaining in the calibration tube 6 is completely discharged to the outside when the next calibration gas cylinder is supplied. The second on-off valve is then closed, allowing the flue gas analyzer to calibrate the standard gas in the calibration gas cylinder, thereby achieving high calibration reliability.

[0039] In some embodiments, the calibration gas device further includes a rack 9 , which is provided with positioning grooves 91 . The positioning grooves 91 correspond one-to-one to the calibration gas bottles, and the calibration gas bottles are arranged in the positioning grooves 91 .

[0040] The positioning slots 91 on the rack 9 ensure that all calibration gas cylinders are fixed in their corresponding slots 91, preventing cylindrical calibration gas cylinders from rolling around in the CEMS room and affecting the connection reliability between the calibration gas cylinders, branch pipes 5, and calibration pipes 6. This also ensures that the calibration gas cylinders are arranged in a fixed position, preventing duplicate calibration or missing calibration gases in the calibration gas cylinders.

[0041] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the positioning groove 91 is a circular groove, and the bottom of the calibration gas cylinder is inserted into the positioning groove 91 .

[0042] In some embodiments, running wheels are installed at the bottom of the rack 9.

[0043] Therefore, the gas replenishment operation of the standard gas cylinder can be achieved without frequently moving the standard gas cylinder, and the movement of the standard gas cylinder saves time and effort.

[0044] In some embodiments, the plurality of calibration gas cylinders are placed upright, and the plurality of calibration gas cylinders are arranged at intervals along a straight line direction, or the plurality of calibration gas cylinders are arranged at intervals along a circumferential direction.

[0045] By placing the calibration gas cylinders upright, the liquid inside can be prevented from accidentally entering the branch pipe 5 through the first on-off valve 11, causing blockage or measurement errors. By arranging multiple calibration gas cylinders in a straight line, the rack 9 above them is kept narrow, making it easier for the rack 9 to enter and exit the CEMS room for gas replenishment. Alternatively, by arranging the calibration gas cylinders in circumferential spacing, the space occupied by all calibration gas cylinders can be reduced, and the spacing between them can be shortened, making it easier to adjust the on / off operation of the first on-off valve 11 above them.

[0046] For example, Figure 2As shown, four standard gas cylinders are arranged at intervals along the circumference.

[0047] In some embodiments, the branch pipe 5 and the calibration pipe 6 are both flexible pipes, and the branch pipe 5 and the calibration pipe 6 have the same size and shape.

[0048] By configuring both branch pipe 5 and calibration pipe 6 as flexible pipes, the assembly efficiency of the calibration gas calibration device and the efficiency of its connection to the flue gas analyzer are effectively improved. By configuring branch pipe 5 and calibration pipe 6 to be the same size and shape, the number of parts in the calibration gas calibration device is reduced, thereby lowering procurement costs.
