Modular pump system for medical gas measurement applications
The patent US12037998B2 describes a gas measurement device designed for medical and process gas measurement applications. Central to this device is a modular pump system that includes a single pump unit housed within a dedicated casing. This pump unit features a fluid inlet and outlet, with at least two connections positioned between these openings. The design allows for a continuous gas flow path, facilitating the delivery of fluid from the pump to various hook-up units. These hook-up units can be connected to the pump unit, enabling the device to adapt to different operational requirements by defining specific gas flow paths and configurations.
Additionally, the patent outlines various functionalities of the hook-up units, which can serve as resistance or buffer units, thereby influencing the pneumatic characteristics of the pump system. Some hook-up units are equipped with adjustable components, such as pressure-dependent shut-off bodies or adjustable pistons, allowing for fine-tuning of resistance and volume. The device can also incorporate electroactive valves to enhance its operational capabilities. Overall, the invention provides a versatile and modular approach to gas measurement, enabling precise control and adaptability in medical and process gas applications.
