ABSTRACT:
A gas analyzer of the non-dispersive infrared type is described. An infrared beam passing through a sample cell containing a gas mixture to be analyzed is detected. The resulting electrical signals are processed to produce an output indicating the concentration of the constituents of the gas mixture in the sample cell. The gas analyzer includes provision for temperature stabilizing both a rotary filter wheel and the detector, and for compensating the output of the signal processor for variation in the absorption characteristics of gas with temperature. The emissivity characteristic of the infrared energy source substantially compensates for wavelength dependence of the detector response. The motor drive for the rotary filter wheel is servo-controlled in accordance with synchronizing pulses developed directly from the detector output.
