Abstract

Disclosed is an analysis system for analyzing water and wastewater, comprising an analysis device that includes a device housing which accommodates device components and which has an inlet on a housing surface, said inlet being designed as an injection port through which a substance to be analyzed can be introduced into a device component when the device housing is closed, and comprising a syringe that includes an injection needle outlet, the surface normal of which is congruent with the longitudinal axis; and/or the syringe includes an automatic ejection element for ejecting a predetermined amount of substance within a predetermined injection period.

Claims (13)

1 . An analysis system for analyzing water and wastewater, including an analysis device comprising

a device housing accommodating device components and having, on a housing surface, an inlet opening formed as an injection port for introducing a substance to be analyzed into a device component when said device housing is closed, and

a syringe having an outlet opening defined by an injection needle, a surface normal to the outlet opening coinciding with a longitudinal axis.

2 . The analysis system according to claim 1 , wherein said injection port is connected to a cylindrical reaction vessel for thermal disintegration of the substance to be analyzed, and includes a guiding element for guiding said syringe into a predetermined injection position.

3 . The analysis system according to claim 2 , wherein said guiding element is, in accordance with a shape of said injection needle, formed such that the longitudinal axis of the inserted injection needle coincides with the longitudinal axis of said reaction vessel, and comprises a cylindrical or conical guide sleeve.

4 . The analysis system according to claim 3 , wherein said guiding element comprises a stopper for limiting a depth of penetration of said injection needle into said reaction vessel.

5 . The analysis system according to claim 11 , wherein said ejection element is configured as a lockable compression spring, which acts on the plunger of said syringe.

6 . An analysis system for analyzing water and waste water, according to claim 1 , wherein a carrier gas supply is connected to said reaction vessel on an input side, said carrier gas supply including controls for setting a pressure and flow rate of a carrier gas to be supplied to said reaction vessel.

7 . The analysis system according to claim 6 , wherein said carrier gas supply comprises a first branch for supplying nitrogen and a second branch for supplying oxygen, wherein, in said first branch, a first pressure regulator and flow regulator for pressure regulation or flow regulation of supplied nitrogen are provided, and, in said second branch, a second pressure regulator and flow regulator for pressure regulation or flow regulation of oxygen to be mixed with the nitrogen are provided.

8 . The analysis system according to claim 7 , wherein said first and second pressure and flow regulators are configured and adapted such that a dilution by a factor of at least 10 is achieved during the mixing of the oxygen with the nitrogen.

9 . An analysis system for analyzing water and waste water, according to claim 1 , further comprising a detection and evaluation device for detecting a predetermined component of the substance to be analyzed and an adjustable post-processing device for manually controlled post-processing of a detection result.

10 . The analysis system according to claim 9 , wherein said detection device comprises at least one of an oxygen, a carbon dioxide, a nitrogen, or a phosphorus detector for detecting concentrations of at least one of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or phosphorus, respectively, in a time-dependent manner in a carrier gas flow exiting said reaction vessel, and said post-processing device for manually readjusting an integration time for integrating the respective concentration values detected in a time-dependent manner is provided.

11 . The analysis system according to claim 1 , wherein the syringe includes an automatically operating ejection element for ejecting a predetermined amount of substance in a predetermined injection period.
