Arrangement for the collection of a gas mixture containing combustible proportions and for the addition of oxidizing gas

摘要

A collecting apparatus for gases, particularly when given-off by the oil of an oil-filled transformer in operation, provides for collecting known volumes of the gases and of an oxidizing gas and thereafter mixing these volumes together and causing any hydrocarbon or other burnable gas to burn via the oxidizing gas, to determine the existence and amount of the burnable gas. This permits an evaluation of the transformer oil. The apparatus may be used in other fields.
