A flow controller primarily for breathing gas analysis has a gas flow circuit leading from a breathing air inlet 8 to a gas analyzer and to a vacuum source 21. Another gas from inlet 32 is bled into the circuit between the breathing air inlet and a point upstream of the vacuum source. Such other gas is precluded from flowing upstream in the circuit toward the gas analyzer by making conduit 12 of suitable dimensions to have a Péclet number at least equal to 4 and preferably about 6. <IMAGE> |
