Patent ID: 6922238

Claim:
A system for tuning a pulsed-flame photometric detector comprising: a pulsed-flame photometric detector, having an igniter coil; a mechanism for providing electrical power: a controller; a mechanism for providing a carrier gas that is connected to the controller for regulating an amount of carrier gas flow; at least one mechanism for providing at least one combustible fuel that is connected to the controller for regulating an amount of combustible fuel flow; a container; and at least one valve mechanism capable of controlling the amount of the carrier gas capable of entering the container that is connected to the controller, wherein at least one first fluid conduit connects the pulsed-flame photometric detector to the at least one valve mechanism and the container to the at least one mechanism for providing a carrier gas and at least one second fluid conduit connects the at least one mechanism for providing at least one combustible fuel and the pulsed-flame photometric detector.
