    Abstract: A method for passive or active sampling of particles and gas phase components in a fluid flow. A sampling device is provided in the fluid flow, wherein the sampling device comprises an ionization chamber and a detection chamber. A fraction of the particles and the gas phase components in the fluid become ionized and charged when introduced in the ionization chamber. The charged particles and gas phase components are then introduced in the detection chamber, which comprises a positively charged wall surface and a negatively charged wall surface. The positively charged particles and gas phase components are bound to the negatively charged wall surface, and the negatively charged particles and gas phase components are bound to the positively charged wall surface. The amount of particles present in the fluid flow is determined by measuring the current change between the positively charged wall surface and the negatively charged wall surface.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a gas flow of a pump for high flow rates at a low average flow rate by changing the gas pressure inside a cavity in said pump. The method includes decreasing the gas pressure in said cavity during a first predetermined time period, increasing the gas pressure in said cavity during a second predetermined time period, and stopping the active change of gas pressure during at least a third predetermined time period. Additionally, a pump assembly for high flow rates operated at a low average flow rate is disclosed that includes a number of pumps, a pump motor with a number of stator windings adapted to drive said pumps, and a control unit adapted to control said pump motor. In one embodiment the number of pumps is equal to said number of stator windings. The motor can momentarily increase its force on the pumps.

    Abstract: A membrane fluid pump includes a rotatable drive shaft. The shaft is equipped with a number of eccentrics arranged axially along the shaft. The membrane fluid pump further comprises a set of connecting rods connected to each of the eccentrics. Each connecting rod is attached between one of the eccentrics on the shaft and a corresponding membrane so that each of the connecting rods is arranged to transfer a rotating movement of the shaft to a reciprocating movement pattern of the corresponding membrane. Each of the eccentrics and the connecting rods are arranged such that all of the membranes will reciprocate with a phase shift evenly distributed over a 360 degree rotation of the drive shaft, and wherein all of the eccentrics are rotationally offset to each other with an angle so that they are evenly distributed over a 360 degree rotation of the drive shaft.
