The disclosure includes an intelligent automatic control system for mine gas chromatographs, comprising a CPU. The system may comprise a touch screen coupled to the CPU, a computer and a relay unit electrically coupled to the CPU, and a remote transmission module and a remote mobile control terminal communicatively coupled to the CPU. A digital output terminal may be electrically coupled through the relay unit to a component selected from the group consisting of a solenoid valve, at least one heater, a chromatograph motor, a six-way injection valve, a ten-way injection valve, a chromatograph automatic injection pump, FID ignition coils, a TCD bridge solenoid valve, at least one gas generator solenoid valve, and a standard gas/sample gas conversion valve. The system may comprise at least one temperature sensor, at least one gas pressure sensor, a TCD bridge module, and at least one pressure-controlling switch electrically coupled to the CPU.

Techniques are described for accelerating thermal equilibrium in a chromatographic column. An apparatus comprises a chromatography column, and a plurality of temperature control units in thermal contact with the chromatography column. A method of performing liquid chromatography comprises setting an inlet of a chromatography column to a first temperature using a first temperature control unit in thermal contact with said inlet, setting an outlet of the chromatography column to a second temperature using a second temperature control unit in thermal contact with the outlet, wherein the first temperature is less than the second temperature; and injecting a sample into a liquid stream that flows through the chromatography column after the inlet is set at the first temperature and the outlet is at the second temperature.
