Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for facilitating use of instruments in hazardous environments includes a fluid line and a fluid-driven generator. The fluid line includes: an inlet to receive a flow of fluid from a fluid source; a first outlet to convey a first portion of the fluid flow to an instrument as a purge gas; and a second outlet to convey a second portion of the fluid flow. The fluid-driven generator is coupled to the second outlet of the fluid line, and converts fluid-stored energy in the second portion of the fluid flow to electrical energy deliverable to the instrument as the second portion of the fluid flow is received from the second outlet.
