METHOD FOR ADAPTING THE CONCENTRATION OF SAMPLE GAS IN A GAS MIXTURE TO BE ANALYSED BY A GAS CHROMATOGRAPH ASSEMBLY, AND CHROMATOGRAPH ASSEMBLY THEREFORE

Method for adapting the concentration of a sample gas in a gas mixture to be analysed by a gas chromatograph assembly (10), the gas chromatograph assembly (10) comprising a sample gas inlet (20) for introducing a sample gas to be analysed, a secondary gas inlet (40), a gas chromatograph sensor (24), a gas chromatograph column (26), and a gas chromatograph bypass (28) parallel to the column (26), characterized bya) introducing an amount of sample gas through the sample gas inlet (20),b) introducing an amount of secondary gas through the secondary gas inlet (40),c) mixing the sample gas and the secondary gas to a gas mixture and conducting the gas mixture via the gas chromatograph bypass (28),d) circulating the gas mixture in a gas conducting loop (52) comprising the gas chromatograph bypass (28) and the gas chromatograph sensor (24),e) repeating steps b), c) and d) without step a) to gradually reduce the concentration of sample gas within the gas mixture until the concentration of sample gas within the gas mixture reaches a desired predetermined level,f) analysing the gas mixture thus obtained by means of gas chromatography employing the gas chromatograph column (26) and the gas chromatograph sensor (24).
