DEVICE FOR AUTOMOTIVE ENGINE OFF-GAS SAMPLING Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01N1/24 G01M15/10 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to supervision of vehicle operating conditions and estimation of harmful emissions. Sampling device comprises sampler connected with exhaust pipe via inlet pipe, sampling resilient chamber arranged in portable appliance and checkout hardware. Said sampling resilient detachable chamber is equipped with remote control shutoff element. Detachable appliance is equipped with the branch pipe with outlet located in one plane with sampler end. Inlet pipe has rotary mechanism for connection with the next sampling resilient chamber and valve to shut off the ICE off-gas ingress into inlet valve. Note here that every sampling resilient chamber has a contact mechanism of sampling outage at filling the entire volume of said chamber. Besides, portable appliance has inner cooling shell and cooled duct for off-gas passage from vehicle exhaust pipe. Said checkout hardware is composed of processor connected with rotary mechanism. The latter connected the next sampling chamber with the device inlet pipe and valve that shuts off ICE off-gas flow into inlet pipe.

EFFECT: off-gas sampling under whatever operating conditions, ruled out occurrence of secondary chemical reactions.
