Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for analyzing an evolved gas, wherein the precision of detection of a gas component is improved without enlarging the apparatus. The apparatus includes a gas component evolving unit, a detection member for detecting the gas component, and a mixed gas channel for allowing a mixed gas containing the gas component and carrier gas to flow therethrough, and further includes a branch channel branched from the mixed gas channel, an inert gas channel for allowing an inert gas to flow therethrough, a first flow rate regulator for adjusting the flow rate of the carrier gas, a second flow rate regulator for adjusting the flow rate of the inert gas, and a flow rate control unit for controlling the second flow rate regulator such that the flow rate of the mixed gas guided to the detection member is a predetermined value.

Claim (Index 7):
A method of analyzing an evolved gas using an apparatus for analyzing an evolved gas comprising a gas component evolving unit configured to evolve a gas component contained in a sample, a detection member configured to detect the gas component evolved from the gas component evolving unit, and a mixed gas channel configured to connect the gas component evolving unit and the detection member to each other and to allow a mixed gas comprising the gas component and a carrier gas for guiding the gas component to the detection member to flow therethrough, the apparatus further comprising a branch channel branched from the mixed gas channel and open to an outside and an inert gas channel joined to the mixed gas channel at a junction downstream of the branch channel such that an inert gas is allowed to flow therethrough, the method comprising:\n primarily adjusting a flow rate F 1  of the carrier gas, secondarily adjusting a flow rate F 4  of the inert gas flowing through the inert gas channel, and controlling the secondarily adjusting so that a flow rate of the mixed gas guided to the detection member is a predetermined value.
