応したら吸着機能がなくなるため交換する必要がある。B. Conventional technology In a rare gas-halogen excimer laser using a halogen mixed gas, for example, the laser chamber L is
The halogen mixed gas LG in C is sucked in by a vacuum pump P via a solenoid valve V, and the halogen is adsorbed and removed by an adsorption filter FI before being exhausted to the outside. This adsorption filter FI
Since this uses a reactive adsorbent, if all of the adsorbent reacts, the adsorption function will be lost and it will be necessary to replace it.
従来は、レーザチャンバLC内に充填されたガスの交換
回数からフィルタFIの交換時期を判断していた。なお
、第4図中、Gはガス供給装置である。Conventionally, the time to replace the filter FI has been determined based on the number of times the gas filled in the laser chamber LC has been replaced. In addition, in FIG. 4, G is a gas supply device.

たりしていた。また、フィルタによるハロゲン除去能力
以上の流量や濃度のハロゲンガスが流れたときにもそれ
を知ることができなかった。Problems to be Solved by the C0 Invention For this reason, it is difficult to judge when it is time to replace the product, leading to people replacing it even though it still has the suction function, or continuing to use it without the suction function. Furthermore, it was not possible to know when halogen gas flowed at a flow rate or concentration higher than the halogen removal ability of the filter.
本発明の目的は、フィルタの交換時期等を適切に知るこ
とのできるハロゲンの如き反応性物質の除去装置を提供

ができる。When the E0 effect halogen is adsorbed by the adsorbent 3, it generates heat, but if the adsorption function of the adsorbent 3 is lost, it does not react and does not generate heat. By monitoring this change in temperature with the temperature sensor 4, it is possible to accurately know whether the adsorbent 3 has a halogen adsorption function or whether a halogen flow rate exceeding the removal capacity is passing through.

第1図により本発明の一実施例を説明する。F. Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. 1 showing a halogen gas filter FI of an excimer laser device.

応性の高い粒子状の活性炭。A gas inlet 1a and a gas outlet 1 are provided at both ends of the filter container 1.
In the container 1, particulate activated carbon that is highly reactive with halogen is sandwiched between particulate filters 2a and 2b made of molded metal or the like.

示しない警報ランプや警報ブザー等に接続されている。An adsorbent 3 such as soda ramune or zeolite is accommodated. At the end of the adsorbent 3 on the gas outlet 1b side, a thermocouple,
A temperature sensor 4 is provided, which is composed of a resistance thermometer, a thermistor, etc., and outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the temperature. Temperature sensors that open and close contacts based on temperature, such as bimetals and shape memory alloys, can also be used. The output of the temperature sensor 4 is connected to an alarm lamp, an alarm buzzer, etc. (not shown).

交換時期を知らせても良い、また、センサ出力に応答し
て吸着材3に再生ガスを流して再生したり、自動的に吸
着材を交換するようにしても良い。When the halogen mixed gas is flowed from the gas inlet 1a to the gas outlet 1b as indicated by arrows X and Y, the halogen is adsorbed on the adsorbent 3 and undergoes an exothermic reaction. Gas flow rate is 0.1Ω
If the amount is as small as /min or less, the heat generation range is narrow, so each time the halogen mixed gas in the laser chamber is replaced, the heat generation area gradually shifts to the gas outlet side. That is,
Once reacted, the adsorbent does not adsorb halogen, so the exothermic region where halogen adsorbs and reacts shifts to the gas outflow side. When the halogen mixed gas in the laser chamber is replaced several times, the heat generating area reaches the area where the temperature sensor 4 is installed, and the temperature sensor 4 outputs a signal corresponding to the heat generating temperature. By lighting an alarm lamp or sounding an alarm buzzer based on this output signal, it is possible to accurately know when it is time to replace the adsorbent. The temperature may be displayed based on the output of the temperature sensor 4 to notify the replacement time, or the adsorbent may be regenerated by flowing regeneration gas to the adsorbent 3 in response to the sensor output, or the adsorbent may be replaced automatically. It's okay.
なお、第2図のように、温度センサ4を容器1の外側に
設置しても良い。この場合、温度センサに耐ハロゲン処
理を施す必要がない。Note that, as shown in FIG. 2, the temperature sensor 4 may be installed outside the container 1. In this case, there is no need to perform halogen resistance treatment on the temperature sensor.
第3図は1本発明に係るハロゲン除去装置を希ガス−ハ
ロゲンエキシマレーザ装置に用いた場合の概略構成図で
ある。FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a case where the halogen removal device according to the present invention is used in a rare gas-halogen excimer laser device.
ガス供給装[GからレーザチャンバLCに充填されたハ
ロゲン混合ガスは、真空ポンプPにより電磁弁Vを介し
てハロゲンフィルタFIに導かれ、ここでハロゲンを除
去してから排気される。The halogen mixed gas filled into the laser chamber LC from the gas supply device [G is guided by a vacuum pump P through a solenoid valve V to a halogen filter FI, where halogen is removed and then exhausted.
上述したように複数回にわたるハロゲンガス抜気作業に
よりフィルタFIを通過したハロゲンガスの積算流量が
所定値に達すると、吸着材3のガス流出側端部でハロゲ
ンが吸着されて発熱する。温度センサ4は温度変化を示
す信号を出力し、これによりコントローラCは吸着材3
が使用限界にきたと判定し電磁弁Vを閉じハロゲンガス
の排出を停止する。これと同時に操作者に吸着材3が交
換時期であることを警報ランプ等により報知する。As described above, when the cumulative flow rate of the halogen gas that has passed through the filter FI reaches a predetermined value due to the halogen gas venting operation performed multiple times, the halogen is adsorbed at the gas outflow side end of the adsorbent 3 and generates heat. The temperature sensor 4 outputs a signal indicating the temperature change, which causes the controller C to control the adsorbent 3.
It is determined that the halogen gas has reached its usage limit, and the solenoid valve V is closed to stop the discharge of halogen gas. At the same time, an alarm lamp or the like notifies the operator that it is time to replace the adsorbent 3.
また、ハロゲンガス流量が一時的に増大し吸着材3の吸
着能力を上回ると、積算流量が所定値以下も温度センサ

を受けたコントローラCにより電磁弁Vが閉じられ、未
吸着のハロゲンガスが排出されるのが防止される。Furthermore, if the halogen gas flow rate temporarily increases and exceeds the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent 3, an exothermic reaction will occur near the temperature sensor even if the integrated flow rate is below a predetermined value. The solenoid valve V is closed to prevent unadsorbed halogen gas from being discharged.
なお、以上では温度センサを吸着材のガス流出側端部に

ても良い。また、エキシマレーザに用いるハロゲン混合
ガスのハロゲン除去に限らず、ガス状又は液状の反応性
物質を除去する種々のフィルタに適用できる。In the above, the temperature sensor was installed at the gas outflow end of the adsorbent to detect when the adsorbent should be replaced when the temperature rose, or to detect when halogen gas exceeded its capacity. It is also possible to detect the time for replacement based on the decrease in the value. Further, the present invention is applicable not only to halogen removal from a halogen mixed gas used in an excimer laser, but also to various filters that remove gaseous or liquid reactive substances.

するおそれもない。G0 Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, the exothermic temperature of the adsorbent is detected by a temperature sensor to determine when to replace the adsorbent, so the adsorbent can be used effectively and unadsorbed reactive substances can be removed. There is no risk of it being emitted.
