It has been found that volumes between 12.5 and 18 cm 3 meet these parameters for the described design at least and a volume of between 15 and 16 cm 3 is preferred.

  • An inverted well 20 is formed in the base 21 of the reservoir 12 to receive a temperature probe 22 for monitoring or detecting the temperature of the solution. (The probe 22 is not part of the device 10.)
  • the base 21 may also include a filling opening 23, which can be sealingly closed by a bung 24.
  • the reservoir is filled with an aqueous solution containing the volatile component for which calibration is required and for the purposes of this specification it will be assumed that it is a solution of ethanol and the device is for use with breath testing apparatus.

  • the container is formed (for example from ABS) by injection moulding or vacuum forming and the membrane and foil are then affixed to it. Finally the solution 25 is added through the opening 23 and the bung 24 is inserted.
  • the membrane may be any suitable membrane, but PTFE membranes are particularly preferred and it has been found that for ethanol, a pore size of between 0.02 and 5.0 ⁇ m is particularly suitable and indeed a pore size of 0.2 ⁇ m is preferred.
  • An example of an appropriate film is Gore-tex Microfiltration PTFE membrane 9530051 made by W.L. Gore & Associates. Such film has very little mechanical strength and it may be desirable to use it on a carrier, particularly to facilitate fixing the membrane 14 to the seat 15.
  • the container 11 could be formed in two parts so that the membrane 14 can be trapped between the two parts during manufacture. Any carrier must obviously equally be gas permeable and will possibly posses a larger pore size.
  • the volatile component diffuses through the membrane 14 into the head space volume 13 at a rate determined by Graham's Law of Diffusion and the membrane pore size, but the solution 25 is retained within the reservoir 12. The system will fairly quickly reach equilibrium and then, in accordance with Henry's Law, the concentration of the ethanol vapour in the head-space volume 13 will be directly dependent on the concentration of the ethanol in the solution and on the temperature of the solution.
  • the solution temperature is significant because the diffusion coefficient of ethanol in an ethanol water system is temperature dependent and this in turn alters the equilibrium concentration for the head space for a given solution concentration.
  • the head space volume therefore, for any particular temperature, contains a vapour sample of known concentration. This sample can be released in any appropriate manner to the test apparatus with which it is to be used.

  • the volume of the head space volume 13 will depend on many criteria of the system involved, but when used with the apparatus described below and for calibrating hand-held breath testing equipment, a volume of between 12.5 and 18 cm 3 has been found suitable and a volume of between 15 and 16 cm 3 is particularly preferred.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an apparatus designed to allow the devices 10 to be used in conjunction with hand-held breath tester such as the LION ALCOLMETER (RTM) SL-400 manufactured By Lion Laboratories pic.
  • the apparatus which is generally indicated at 26, has a body 27 formed of two hinged parts, 28, 29 which can be locked together in their closed position by a catch 30.
  • the body 27 defines a first enclosure 31, which contains a processor 32 and associated circuitry mounted on a printed circuit board 33 and a display 34, and a further enclosure 35 for receiving the device 10 and for allowing the sample in its head-space volume to be supplied to breath testing equipment.
  • part 28 defines a chamber 36 for receiving the device 10, whilst part 29 defines a further chamber 37 into which the head space volume sample can be released when the foil 16 is removed.
  • the volume of the chamber 37 will define the time that will need to elapse for re-equibration of the sample to occur.
  • This second chamber 37 is connected to an outlet 38 onto which the inlet port of a breath tester (not shown) can be engaged.
  • the outlet port 38 has a tapering external profile.
  • the outlet port 38 is closed by a deflectable seal 39, which is mounted on a flat spring 40 that is fixed at its other end 41 to the part 29.
  • a further seal 42 is engaged on the spring 40, intermediate the seal 39 and other end 41, and closes off an opening in the wall 43 of the part 29.

  • the spring 40 is also provided with an upstanding wall 46, which forms a labyrinth seal, between the port 38 and the opening 44, with a formation 47 on the wall 43.
  • the seal 39 will not open until after the port 38 is partially inserted into the inlet of the breath tester. This prevents any substantial escape of the sample in the chamber 37.
  • the external profile of the outlet port 38 is tapered, air can bleed between the port 38 and the breath testing apparatus inlet into the chamber 37 so that it becomes equilibrated to atmospheric pressure, without any significant leakage of the sample to the atmosphere.
  • the labyrinth seal prevents any direct leakage of air between the port 38 and the opening 44.
  • the system is once more sealed and the apparatus can be instructed to suck out the sample from the chamber 37.
  • the device 10 In use the device 10 is fitted into the chamber 36 with the body open. As it is inserted it engages with the temperature probe 22, which is mounted within that chamber.

By providing suitable formations (eg 50)on the container 11, the micro switches 49 can be switched either on or off and hence produce an identifying code for the container and indicate to the processor 32 what concentration is within the container 10. (Machine readable barcodes and other identifying systems may also be used) .

  • the provision of the inlet 66 can allow the device to be charged with the volatile component after assembly. Deflection of the projection 67 will open the inlet 66 and the container can then be filled with a known volume of volatile component, for example by a hypodermic syringe.

Abstract

La présente invention a pour objet des dispositifs permettant d'obtenir des échantillons de vapeur de composés volatils d'une solution, ainsi que l'appareil servant à tester ces échantillons. Deux récipients de types différents (10 et 52) y sont présentés. Dans chacun d'eux, une solution volatile est retenue de telle sorte que le composé volatil s'équilibre avec un vide d'où il peut être extrait pour passer dans l'appareil de contrôle. Dans le récipient (10), le composé volatil est retenu par une membrane hydrofuge perméable au gaz (14), tandis que dans le récipient (52), la solution est retenue dans la matière absorbante (56). Le récipient (10) s'accompagne d'un appareil (26), alors que le récipient (52) est complet en tant que tel. Dans un cas comme dans l'autre, l'appareil de contrôle placé sur un orifice de sortie d'échantillonnage provoque l'ouverture d'une soupape qui déclenche le processus d'échantillonnage.
