摘要:
A method of non-dispersive analysis of gas mixtures for determining the concentration of some gas component therein. A radiation source is arranged which emits, through the gas mixture being analyzed, radiation within a wavelength range within which the absorption spectrum band used in the determination of the concentration of the said gas component is located; an optical transmission band filter the transmission band of which coincides with the said spectrum band is provided in the path of the radiation traversing the gas mixture being analyzed; a detector is used for detecting the radiation which has traversed the gas mixture being analyzed and the optical transmission band filter, whereby a first signal is obtained from the detector; a different second signal is generated in the detector by means of an additional gas or an additional gas mixture interposed between the radiation source and the detector; and the result of the concentration measurement is formed computationally by using the different measurement signals. Furthermore, in the method the transmission bands of the said transmission band filters are arranged within the same measuring range; as the additional gas there is used a compensation gas or a compensation gas mixture in which the compensation gas is the gas component the concentration of which is being determined or a corresponding other gas or a compensation filter. The absorption properties of the compensation filter are selected to be such, or the amount of the compensation gas is selected to be such, that the broadening of the absorption lines in the absorption spectrum band used will change the said different second signal.

A non-dispersive single beam detection assembly in an infrared gas analyzer. The detection assembly comprises radiation source(s) providing infrared radiation, a measuring chamber, and a physical beam splitter for dividing said radiation beam into a reflected beam portion and a transmitted beam portion, or for combining a reflected beam portion and a transmitted beam portion into said radiation beam. A measuring detector receives one beam portions, and a reference detector receives another beam portion. Alternatively a measuring/reference detector receives both beam portions. Said transmitted beam portion has a first spectral intensity peak at shorter wavelengths with a first peak wavelength, and said reflected beam portion has a second spectral intensity peak at longer wavelengths with a second peak wavelength. There is a wavelength gap between said second peak wavelength and said first peak wavelength, which gap corresponds a wavelength shift of an optical interference filter with said second peak wavelength as tilted from its perpendicular position to an angled position. Said wavelength gap is at maximum 10% of the second peak wavelength, and at minimum 0.5% of the second peak wavelength.
