Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide in respiratory gases. The apparatus is a non-dispersive gas analyzer (100) attached in series with the respiratory airway which is universally compatible with any host system. The analyzer (100) includes a housing (102) which supports a sample cell containing the respiratory gases, and which contains an infrared radiation source (130) encased in shock absorbing material, means for directing the radiation into a collimated beam through the sample cell, means (145) for splitting the beam and directing it towards two infrared detectors (142, 146) for measuring the amount of absorption of carbon dioxide in the sample cell. The analyzer has two heating servos (118, 152), one regulating the temperature of the sample cell windows to inhibit condensation build-up and one regulating the ambient temperature surrounding the detectors (142, 146) to ensure more accurate measurements. Calibration means within the analyzer housing (102) stores and provides information characterizing performance parameters of the analyzer (100).

Abstract: An infrared gas analyzer includes an infrared source for emitting infrared energy, a sample cell for gases to be analyzed in the path of infrared energy emitted by the source and an assembly having first and second detectors also in the path of infrared energy and a third detector out of the path of infrared energy, mounted within the assembly and in close thermal proximity to each other and being responsive to impinging infrared energy to produce an electrical response. All detectors are sandwiched between a base and a single window that overlies them. The analyzer further includes a narrow band filter corresponding to an absorption wavelength band for a gas of interest and a narrow band reference filter corresponding to a reference wavelength band. Each of the narrow band filters are positioned outside the assembly and between the assembly and the source in the path of infrared energy.

Abstract: A non-dispersive infrared gas analyzer is disclosed that accurately measures the concentration levels of a plurality of gases within a gas mixture. The analyzer includes first and second sample cells and is utilized advantageously for the measurement of NOx and hydrocarbon gas present in the exhaust of an automobile engine. The gas mixture of the exhaust is chilled before entering the first sample cell to remove a substantial amount of the water vapor from that sample cell to facilitate measurement of the NOx gas. The second sample cell receives the gas mixtue in an unchilled state to allow for accurate measurement of the hydrocarbon gas. The analyzer includes processors which are utilized to further correct the NOx measurement and which also interact with each other to provide an output data stream that is representative of the concentration levels of the gases that are being analyzed.
