Abstract:
The invention relates to a sensor having a filter arrangement, downstream of which there is arranged a detector arrangement, and an evaluating device which is connected to the detector arrangement, the filter arrangement has at least a first filter, the suspect filter, which is configured as a band pass filter allowing the passage of a first predetermined band, the suspect band, at least one second filter, the reference filter(s), which is configured as band pass filters allowing the passage of a second predetermined band(s), the reference band(s), and where the detector arrangement has at least one detector associated with the at least one of the filters. The sensor uses the band pass filters to measure the temperature of an emitting source. The sensor with advantage could be utilized within the IR band, and could advantageously be used to detect CO 2 .
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sensor having a filter arrangement, downstream of which there is arranged a detector arrangement, and an evaluating device which is connected to the detector arrangement. However, since particles or substances in general present in the environment where the sensor operates, as these over time gets into contact with more delicate parts of the sensor, decreasing the time of operation of the sensor, before maintenances or even exchange is needed. It is therefore often desired to keep the more delicate parts of the sensor physically separated from the media or environment containing the substances or species being measured by the sensor. The present invention solves this problem by introducing sight glasses positioned at least in front of the delicate parts of the sensor, the sight glasses in general being formed with coating(s) chosen according to the environment wherein the sight glasses are to be used.

The band passes reference filters are distributed above and below the band pass of the suspect filter. The sensor with advantage could be utilized within the IR band, and could advantageously be used to detect CO.
