Apparatus and system for sampling and supplying a fluid to an analyzer
View Patent ↗Apparatuses and systems for sampling fluid and providing fluid to an analyzer are provided. In an embodiment, a sampler may have a state switch for the housing cover. In another embodiment, multiple fluid streams may be housed in a single housing.
1. A multiple stream sampler comprising:
a first inlet for receiving a first online fluid stream there through;
a second inlet for receiving a second online fluid stream, wherein the first inlet and the second inlet are attached to a housing;
a first sampling outlet, the first sampling outlet fluidly connected with the first inlet;
a second sampling outlet, the second sampling outlet fluidly connected with the second inlet;
a discharge chamber, the discharge chamber fluidly connected with the first inlet and the second inlet; and
a vial detector attached to the housing, wherein the vial detector is configured to detect the presence of a vial in the multiple stream sampler.
2. The multiple stream sampler of claim 1 , further comprising a housing cover for the housing, wherein the housing cover is configured to slide along a horizontal axis to open or close.
3. The multiple stream sampler of claim 1 , further comprising:
a housing cover for the housing; and
a housing cover position detector, wherein the housing cover position detector is configured to detect a position of the housing cover.
4. The multiple stream sampler of claim 3 , further comprising a relay communicatively connected with the housing cover position detector, the relay configured to communicate with a valve, wherein the valve fluidly connects the multi stream sampler with an analyzer.
5. The multiple stream sampler of claim 3 , further comprising: a housing cover; and wherein the housing cover position detector is a housing cover position switch, and wherein the housing cover position switch is depressed by a valve spool.
6. The multiple stream sampler of claim 1 , further comprising a vial receptacle within a first chamber, wherein the first chamber is fluidly connected with the first sampling outlet.
7. A system comprising:
an analyzer;
a multiple stream sampler, the multiple stream sampler connected with at least a first inlet for receiving a first fluid stream and a second inlet for receiving a second fluid stream, wherein the first inlet and second inlet are attached to a housing; and
a valve fluidly connected with a first sampling outlet for a first sampling fluid stream and a second sampling outlet for a second sampling fluid stream, wherein the first sampling fluid stream is a portion of the first fluid stream, the second sampling fluid stream is a portion of the second fluid stream, and the valve is fluidly connected with the analyzer, and further comprising a vial detector attached to the housing, wherein the vial detector is configured to detect the presence of a vial in the multiple stream sampler.
8. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:
a housing cover positioned on an end of the housing; and
a housing cover position detector attached to the housing, wherein the housing cover position detector is configured to detect a position of the housing cover of the multiple stream sampler.
9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:
a processor communicatively connected with the analyzer; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
manipulating the analyzer based on a position of the housing cover.
10. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:
a processor communicatively connected with the valve; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
manipulating the valve based on a position of the housing cover.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the housing cover position detector is located proximate to a vial receptacle.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the housing cover position detector is a switch that comprises a wheel.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the housing cover is configured to slide along a horizontal axis of the housing to open or close.
14. The system of claim 7 , wherein the housing is rectangular.
