ABSTRACT:
A gas chromatograph for measuring the amounts of selected sample gas components such as oxygen and carbon monoxide. The system comprises a high-temperature (600.degree. C.) zirconia cell detector supplied on one side with a continuous stream of oxygen flowing at a constant rate. A voltage source connected to the zirconia cell transports all of this oxygen to the other side of the cell, resulting in a constant background cell current. Sample components from the chromatographic column are injected sequentially into the oxygen stream. When oxygen is injected the cell current increases due to the increase in total oxygen available for transport through the cell. When carbon monoxide is injected, it is fully combusted with the oxygen, and the current correspondingly decreases due to reduction of the oxygen available for transport. The deviation in cell current with reference to the background current is integrated for each component to produce output signals indicating the amount of the component.
