Abstract:
This invention relates a chemiluminescent gas analyzer for determining a concentration of a gaseous component (G1) in a sample gas mixture (2). The analyzer comprises a measuring chamber (3), an ozonizer (4) with ozone generating means (44) for producing ozone-containing gas (G2), input conduits (24, 23) for delivering the ozone-containing gas and said gas mixture into the chamber and an outlet (18). A detector (7) receives radiation (E) emitted as a consequence of a reaction between the gaseous component and the ozone-containing gas. Said analyzer further comprises a flow delay device (41) in or upstream the input conduit for said ozone-containing gas and downstream from the ozone generating means (44) of the ozonizer. The flow delay device has a delay volume (V D ) causing a predetermined delay time (T) for the flow of the ozone-containing gas from said ozonizer to said measuring chamber (3).

Abstract:
The invention concerns a chemiluminescent gas analyzer (1) for determining a concentration of a gaseous component (G1) in a sample gas mixture (2). The analyzer comprises a measuring chamber (3) having a reflective inner surface (27) and a transparent window (22). A substantial height portion of the reflective inner surface is composed of at least one convergent surface section tapering towards a bottom (35) of said chamber. The input conduits (23, 24) have at least one orifice within a bottom end region (45) of said chamber, said bottom end region being within the height portion for said convergent surface section(s). Further, there is an outlet (18) for removing said gases and possible chemical compounds from the chamber. The pressure (P) within the measuring chamber is at least 0.2 bar. A radiation sensitive detector (7) is directed to said window and said chamber for receiving radiation (E) emitted as a consequence of a reaction between the gaseous component and the gaseous reagent.
Abstract:
The application relates to an infrared radiation source for a gas analyzer and a method for generating infrared radiation. The infrared radiation source comprises a body (6), thermal insulation material (5) adapted inside the body (6), a radiant element (1) fitted inside the insulation material (5), elements (2, 3) for feeding electric energy to said radiant element (1), and a channel (7) formed in said body (6) and said thermal insulation material (5) in order to pass the radiation generated by said radiant element (1) to the gas under measurement. According to the description, at least the thermal insulation material (5) adapted in close proximity to the radiant element (1) has a low thermal conductivity and the emissivity of the radiant surface (11) adapted in close proximity to the radiant element (1) is greater than 0.5 at the operating temperature of the source.

Abstract:
A detection assembly for a non-dispersive infrared multi-gas analyzer, comprises a beam splitter for dividing an infrared (IR)-radiation beam into reflected beam portion(s) and transmitted beam portion(s), two detector units both with at least two separate detectors respectively, and optical filters in front of the detectors. The detector units are positioned to receive the reflected beam portion and the transmitted beam portion, respectively. A detection assembly for a non-dispersive infra-red multi-gas analyzer comprises a beam splitter (3) for dividing an IR-radiation beam (R) into at least one reflected beam portion and at least one transmitted beam portion (R-T), first and second detector units (21, 22) both with at least two separate detectors respectively, and optical filters in front of the detectors. The detector units are positioned to receive the reflected beam portion and the transmitted beam portion respectively. The first and second detector units have at least one first detector (1a, 1b), being measuring detectors each provided with an optical measurement filter (5a, 5b), which has a transmission wavelength band in the range of the absorption band of a gas component, to affect that portion of the IR-radiation ending into the first detector. The detector units both have at least one second detector (2a, 2b), being reference detectors each provided with an optical reference filter (6a, 6b), which has a transmission wavelength range, within which the gas component does not have absorption, so as to affect that portion of the IR-radiation ending into the second detector. The first detector in the first detector unit and the second detector in the second detector unit are positioned to constitute a first independent single path analyzer channel (11). The second detector in the first detector unit and the first detector in the second detector unit are positioned to constitute a second independent single path analyzer channel (12). An independent claim is also included for a non-dispersive infrared measuring arrangement in a multi-gas analyzer, comprising: (1) a radiation source providing an IR-radiation beam; (2) a measuring chamber for receiving a gas mixture to be analyzed, and adapted to transmission of the radiation beam; (3) a beam splitter dividing the beam into at least one reflected beam portion and at least one transmitted beam portion; (4) at least a first and a second detector unit both with at least two detectors; and (5) optical filters positioned in the beam or beam portions ending in the detectors, the detector units being directed to receive the at least one reflected beam portion and the at least one transmitted beam portion respectively.
