Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sensor for the measurement of the hydrocarbon content in a flow of gas in a purge line. The sensor can measure the hydrocarbon content in the flow of gas in the purge line from a hydrocarbon storage device to an internal combustion engine. The sensor has at least one heating element and at least one thermal detector, with the heating element heating the flow of gas while the thermal detector determines the temperature of the flow of gas, which temperature is evaluated as a measurement of the hydrocarbon content in the flow of gas.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A scavenging line/sensor assembly comprising: a scavenging line leading from a hydrocarbon accumulator to a combustion engine; a sensor configured to measure a hydrocarbon content in a gas stream in said scavenging line, said sensor comprising: at least one heating element configured to heat the gas stream; and at least one temperature probe configured to determine a temperature of the heated gas stream comprising: a first temperature probe arra…
