A flow analysis flow analysis system having a deaerator for removing gas
bubbles in a liquid upstream an analysis section. The deaerator comprises
a liquid-containing means variable in internal volume for containing the
liquid together with gas bubbles included in the liquid; a
liquid-introducing means for introducing the liquid into the
liquid-containing means; a gas bubble-discharging means for discharging
gas bubbles in the liquid-containing means by decreasing the internal
volume of the liquid-containing means while maintaining in the
liquid-containing means at least part of the liquid introduced by the
liquid-introducing means; and a liquid delivery means for delivering to
the analysis section the liquid in the liquid-containing means from which
gas bubbles have been discharged by the gas bubble-discharging means.
