ABSTRACT:
To measure water vapor and carbon dioxide, a gas analyzer includes a light source, a reference flow cell, a sample flow cell, a detector and a source of gas. The light source, flow cells and detector are arranged so that the detector detects light transmitted from said light source through the flow cells. The flow cells have folded paths for the light. A reference signal is subtracted from a sample signal to obtain an independant variable. Carbon dioxide and air mixed with carbon dioxide are supplied as required. The carbon dioxide is supplied from a container through capillary tubes. Heat is applied to the tubes to control the flow rate. A signal representing gross concentration of the carbon dioxide as a dependant variable is obtained from said independent variable from an empirically determined polynomial.
