[0024] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a dilution injection device for an FTA analyzer, which consists of an instrument blower 1, an instrument air ball valve 1 2, an instrument air ball valve 2 3, an instrument air pressure reducing valve 4, a pressure gauge 5, an instrument air flowmeter 6, an instrument air flowmeter needle valve 7, a sampling probe 8, an integrated high-temperature electric tracing heat cable 9, a sampling ball valve 10, an injection flowmeter ball valve 11, an FTA analyzer 12, a pneumatic valve 13, a pneumatic control valve 14, a pressure transmitter 15, an injection flowmeter 16, a mixing diluter 17, an ejector ball valve 18, an ejector pressure reducing valve 19, a bypass flowmeter 20, a return flowmeter 21, a return flowmeter ball valve 22, an ejector 23, a PLC controller 24, and so on.

[0025] Sampling system: sampling probe 8, integrated high-temperature electric tracing heat cable 9.

[0026] Pretreatment dilution system: instrument fan 1, instrument air ball valve 1 2, instrument air ball valve 2 3, instrument air pressure reducing valve 4, pressure gauge 5, instrument air flowmeter 6, needle valve of instrument air flowmeter 7, sampling probe 8, integrated high-temperature electric tracing heat cable 9, sampling ball valve 10, sample inlet flowmeter ball valve 11, pneumatic valve 13, pneumatic control valve 14, pressure transmitter 15, sample inlet flowmeter 16, mixing and dilution unit 17, ejector ball valve 18, ejector pressure reducing valve 19, bypass flowmeter 20, return flowmeter 21, return flowmeter ball valve 22, ejector 23, PLC controller 24.

[0027] Instrument detection system: FTA analyzer 12.

[0028] Working process: The sampling probe 8 is inserted into the process pipeline to a depth of 1 / 3 of the inner diameter to take a representative sample (high-concentration VOCs gas). After sampling, the sample passes through the integrated high-temperature electric tracing heat cable 9 and flows through the sampling ball valve 10, sample inlet flowmeter ball valve 11, pneumatic valve 13, pressure transmitter 15, and sample inlet flowmeter 16 to reach the mixing and dilution unit 17, where it is mixed and diluted with the dilution gas, and then reaches the FTA analyzer 12 for sample analysis.

[0029] During the above working process, the integrated high-temperature electric tracing heat cable 9 is heated to ensure that the pretreated sample is in a gaseous state throughout the process. The sample passes through the sampling ball valve 10, through the sample inlet flowmeter ball valve 11 to the pressure transmitter 15. The pressure transmitter 15 displays the current real-time pressure change, and then enters the mixing and dilution unit 17 through the sample inlet flowmeter 16. During the sample flow process, through the pressure value set by the pressure transmitter 15 and the signal feedback connected to the PLC controller 24, the opening of the pneumatic valve 13 is adjusted through the signal feedback of the pneumatic control valve 14 connected to the PLC controller 24 through the pressure transmitter 15 to change the sample flow rate, so that it enters the mixer at a set flow rate of 11 L / h set by the sample inlet flowmeter 16; at the same time, start the instrument fan 1 (i.e., air compressor) to connect the instrument air. After passing through the instrument air ball valve 1 2 and instrument air ball valve 2 3 to the instrument air pressure reducing valve 4, the instrument air pressure is adjusted by the instrument air pressure reducing valve 4, and then passes through the pressure gauge 5. The pressure gauge 5 displays the current pressure value in real time, and then passes through the instrument air flowmeter 6. By setting the value of the instrument air flowmeter 6, the current instrument air flow is fed back, and the instrument air flow rate is adjusted through the instrument air needle valve, so that the instrument air flow rate is stabilized at the set flow rate of 250 L / h set by the flowmeter and enters the mixing and dilution unit 17, completing the sample dilution in proportion, so that the concentration of the sample entering the FTA analyzer 12 is reduced, and the measurement is more stable and accurate.

[0030] A quick loop is formed by a return flowmeter 21, a return flowmeter ball valve 22, and an ejector 23. The ejector 23 uses instrument air as its power source. Through an ejector ball valve 18 and an ejector pressure reducing valve 19, the ejector 23 has a stable intake air pressure and can ensure the purity of the instrument air. Its main function is to be able to extract samples and introduce the samples into the FTA analyzer 12 for analysis. After the sample analysis work is completed, the ejector 23 will also eject the analyzed samples and send the samples back to the process pipeline through a PP return pipe. Such a design ensures that no gas diffuses into the current working environment, thereby avoiding environmental pollution problems. At the same time, the sample forms a quick loop through a bypass flowmeter 20 and is sent back to the process pipeline through the ejector 23, reducing the response time of sample transmission. It should be noted that the control algorithms and programs involved in the working process of this embodiment are not within the protection scope of the present utility model, and the control algorithms and programs involved are all prior art and are only used for those skilled in the art to understand the working process of this embodiment.

[0031] Compared with other types of analyzers, such as FID analyzers, etc., after the sample measurement is completed, the data is not accurate enough. In this embodiment, the FTA analyzer 12 dilutes the sample in a certain proportion in the mixing diluter 17, and then calculates the current sample concentration through proportion calculation. The concentration is output to the PLC controller 24 through a 4-20mA signal to obtain the lower explosion limit value (0-2000% LEL) and the corresponding PPM value (0-1000000 PPM) after dilution according to the proportion. This enhances the measurement accuracy of the FTA analyzer 12, and the sample after the measurement is directly returned to the process pipeline. Compared with directly discharging into the measurement environment, the product design of the present utility model reduces pollution and is more environmentally friendly. It should be noted that the structure of the FTA analyzer 12 itself is not within the protection scope of the present utility model, and the FTA analyzer 12 is prior art and is only used for those skilled in the art to understand the application of the FTA analyzer 12.

[0032] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not impose any form of limitation on the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present utility model by using the methods and technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the shape, structure, and principle of the present utility model without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model should be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
