Definitions
- the present invention relates to a degassing device, and more particularly to a degassing device including a plurality of degassing modules.
- Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 disclose a degassing device used in a liquid chromatography device or the like.
- the degassing device described in Patent Document 1 includes a valve between the decompression space in the degassing module and the vacuum pump, and gradually returns the decompression space in the degassing module to atmospheric pressure after the operation of the device is stopped. It is configured as follows. However, when the degassing device is provided with a plurality of degassing modules, if an attempt is made to gradually open the atmospheric pressure using only one valve, the time for which the decompression degree differs between the degassing modules becomes long. Therefore, there is a problem that cross-contamination is likely to occur in which the vaporized gas is mixed in another degassing module. On the other hand, if an individual valve is provided in each degassing module in order to eliminate such a time difference, there is a problem that the device configuration becomes complicated or the manufacturing cost increases due to an increase in the number of parts.
- one aspect of the present invention is to provide a degassing device capable of preventing cross-contamination.
- the degassing device includes a first degassing module and a second degassing module, a first degassing module, and a first degassing module, each of which has a gas permeable film partitioning between a fluid flow space and a decompression space.
- a vacuum pipe that has a discharge pipe section connected to each discharge port of the degassing module and a discharge collecting section that gathers the discharge pipe sections, and is communicated to each decompression space of the first degassing module and the second degassing module.
- a discharge device that is communicated with a vacuum pipe and is configured to discharge the gas in each decompression space to the outside through the vacuum pipe, and an open pipe connected to each open port of the first degassing module and the second degassing module. It has an open gathering part that gathers the part and the open piping part, and the atmosphere open pipe that is communicated to each decompression space of the first degassing module and the second degassing module and the atmosphere open pipe that is communicated to the atmosphere open pipe. It is provided with an atmosphere release valve capable of introducing the atmosphere into each pressure reducing space through the vacuum, and a control unit for controlling the operation of the discharge device and the atmosphere release valve.
- the control unit closes the atmosphere release valve and discharges the gas in each decompression space by the discharge device. After the degassing process is completed, the air release valve is opened to control each pressure reducing space to open to the atmosphere at once.
- a vacuum pipe for discharging the atmosphere from the decompression space of each degassing module and an atmosphere opening pipe for opening the decompression space to the atmosphere are separately provided, and the degassing process is performed by the degassing module.
- the atmosphere release valve is opened to open each pressure reducing space to the atmosphere at once.
- the above degassing device may further include a detector for detecting the degree of decompression in the decompression space, and the vacuum pipe may further have a detection pipe portion communicating with the detector.
- the detector has a diaphragm for detecting the degree of decompression, and the detector is installed so that the detection surface of the diaphragm faces downward.
- Vaporized gas may be mixed in the vacuum pipe, but since the detection surface of the diaphragm faces downward, it is possible to prevent the mixed gas from the vacuum pipe from remaining attached to the detection surface.
- the gas is a gas of a corrosive medium, by adopting such a configuration, deterioration of the detection surface can be suppressed, and the degree of decompression can be stably detected for a long period of time.
- the degassing device further includes a bottom plate defining the bottom of the degassing device, and the discharging device is arranged on the bottom plate via anti-vibration means.
- the discharge device may generate vibration by a pump mechanism or the like, but such vibration may damage the gas permeable membrane (for example, a hollow fiber membrane) constituting the degassing module in the degassing device.
- vibration may generate microbubbles in the fluid flowing in the degassing module, which may affect inspection and the like.
- anti-vibration means it is possible to suppress the vibration of the discharging device from being transmitted to other configurations, and to suppress the damage of the gas permeable membrane and the growth of microbubbles in the inspection fluid.
- the discharge device may be supported on the bottom plate by a plurality of legs and may be located at a predetermined height from the surface of the bottom plate. According to this configuration, in addition to being able to further suppress the transmission of vibration from the discharge device to other configurations, the fluid to be degassed by the degassing device leaks from the degassing module. However, it is possible to prevent the fluid from eroding the discharge device. Further, even when such a liquid leakage occurs, the waste liquid treatment can be easily performed.
- the anti-vibration means may be provided between the plurality of legs and the discharging device.
- the degassing device further includes a bottom plate defining the bottom of the degassing device, and at least one of the control unit and the air release valve is arranged so as to be at a predetermined height from the surface of the bottom plate. .. According to this configuration, even if the fluid to be degassed by the degassing device leaks from the degassing module, it is possible to prevent the fluid from eroding the control unit and the air release valve. Further, even when such a liquid leakage occurs, the waste liquid treatment can be easily performed.
- At least one of the vacuum pipe and the open air pipe is composed of a resin tube, the rubber hardness of the resin tube is in the range of 70 ⁇ 30 degrees, and the oxygen permeability of the resin tube is high. Is preferably 6000 cc (STP) cm / cm 2 / sec / cmHg ⁇ 10-10 or less. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent erosion of each pipe by vaporized gas (chemical resistance), it is easy to arrange the pipes (flexibility), and the degree of decompression by the discharge device is easily increased or stabilized. It becomes possible to make it (gas permeability).
- the first degassing module includes a housing for accommodating a tubular gas permeable film, and the opening is airtightly sealed and the tubular gas permeable film is removed from the inside of the housing.
- the connector portion has a lid portion configured to penetrate toward the lid and a connector portion for connecting and fixing a tubular gas permeable film to the lid portion while maintaining the airtightness of the decompression space in the penetration region.
- a support member that is arranged inside the tubular gas permeable film and supports the tubular gas permeable film from the inside when the connection is fixed to the lid portion may be included.
- the air-opening pipe is arranged above the vacuum pipe. According to this configuration, since the decompression space is opened to the atmosphere by the atmosphere introduced from above, it becomes difficult for the vaporized gas to move to other regions, and as a result, cross-contamination can be further suppressed. ..
- the above degassing device is arranged between the degassing module and the discharging device, further includes a regulating valve for adjusting the decompression degree of the decompression space, and the control unit has a decompression degree of the decompression space within a predetermined range. If this is the case, control may be performed to close the regulating valve and stop the operation of the discharge device. According to this configuration, by stopping the operation of the discharging device as necessary, it is possible to further suppress damage due to vibration, growth of microbubbles, and the like.
- the control unit opens the atmosphere release valve to open each decompression space to the atmosphere at once while continuing the gas discharge operation by the discharge device for a predetermined time. You may control it. According to this control, it is possible to smoothly open the pressure reducing space to the atmosphere by the atmospheric release valve.
- cross contamination can be prevented.
