Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for temperature compensation in gas analyzer equipment for transient error caused by temperature change. According to the method, a radiation source (1) is used for transmitting electromagnetic radiation through a gas mixture to be analyzed, the intensity of radiation transmitted through the gas mixture being analyzed is detected by means of a thermal detector (4) comprising a radiation detecting sensor element (16) and a reference sensor element (17) for generating an output signal proportional to the concentration of gas being analyzed, the temperature of said thermal detector (4) is measured either directly or indirectly, the measured detector temperature values are recorded as a function of time, and the output signal of the thermal detector (4) is temperature compensated by a correction term dependent on the temperature rate of change (DT) of the thermal detector. According to the invention, the uncorrected output signal V meas of the thermal detector (4) is temperature compensated by adding a correction term V comp dependent on the temperature rate of change (DT) of the thermal detector to said output signal.

Abstract:
A beam of light falling within the range of 180 to 3,000 nanometers is transmitted through a flow cell (12) in an optical compartment of an absorbance detector (16) after warm up of the equipment while the eluant flows through the flow cell (12) from a chromatographic column (20). The column extends upwardly from the absorbance detector (16) into an air chamber (60) having a volume of approximately 0.25 cubic foot formed with acrylic walls. Air flows from the absorbance detector (16) under the power of a fan at approximately 10 cubic feet per minute upwardly through an air duct having a cross section of approximately 1.5 square inches to the top where it connects with the air chamber (60), the speed of the motor being adjustable until temperature varies less than one degree Celsius between the flow cell (12) and the lower 10 centimeters of the column. Under these conditions Schlieren noise from the flow cell (12) due to flow-induced thermo-optical effects is reduced.
