METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE METERED DELIVERY OF LOW VOLUMETRIC FLOWS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the metered delivery of low volumetric flows by the introduction of a gaseous stream into a tank containing a liquid and the displacement of the liquid through a liquid conduit. To improve said method, a partial gaseous stream (Q2) is diverted from a mass-flow controlled gaseous stream (Q1), at a pressure (P1) that is maintained at a constant level and that essentially corresponds to the gaseous pressure (P2) in the tank (4), and is guided into said tank to displace the liquid, the mass flow of the partial gaseous stream (2) being measured. A variation in the pressure (P1) allows a partial gaseous mass-flow to be set, whose volumetric flow, determined by taking into consideration the gas density (Q1), corresponds to the desired value for the liquid volumetric flow (Q3).
