Abstract
An infrared gas analyzer is described wherein infrared energy is directed from a suitable source through a sample cell, the infrared energy being interrupted at a predetermined frequency. Infrared energy of a preselected wavelength causes a detector for each monitored gas to produce a signal proportional to the infrared energy passing through the sample cell and having a frequency corresponding to the predetermined frequency. Each preselected wavelength corresponds to the characteristic absorption wavelength of a preselected gas. A signal processor for the analyzer includes a preamplifier adapted to compensate for temperature variations in the detector while an output amplifier is adapted to compensate for temperature variations in the sample cell in order to provide a more accurate output signal.
