  • Patent number: 9013703
    Abstract: A gas analyzing apparatus includes a probe for measuring a concentration of sample gas flowing in a pipe by an optical measurement system. Influence of a thermal lens effect phenomenon is suppressed so that measurement accuracy is improved. The apparatus includes a probe tube disposed to cross a flow path of the sample gas in the pipe to introduce the sample gas flowing in the pipe to a predetermined hollow measurement region. A light emission portion and a light receiving portion for project measurement light to the measurement region in the probe tube and receive the measurement light after passing through the sample gas in the measurement region. A purge gas feed tube disposed in the probe tube supplies purge gas to a region between the optical system members and the measurement region, with a gap to the inner wall surface of the probe tube.

  • Patent number: 8934101
    Abstract: A gas analysis apparatus includes: a first reflector that reflects measurement light from a light emitting unit disposed outside a gas flue wall and transmitted through a sample gas. A light receiving unit outside the gas flue wall receives measurement light reflected by the first reflector. A second reflector outside the gas flue wall reflects measurement light toward the light receiving unit. A computing unit analyzes sample gas by allowing the measurement light to be reflected by the first reflector and performs correction or calibration of the gas analysis apparatus using known substances within an associated containing unit along the light path between the light emitting unit and the second reflector by allowing measurement light to be reflected by the second reflector. A switching unit outside the gas flue wall selectively removes or inserts the second reflector from the light path during component concentration analysis and correction or calibration, respectively.

  • Patent number: 8531669
    Abstract: An air-driven shutter device is used in an optical analyzer. The optical analyzer includes a measurement field to which a sample is supplied, a light-emitting unit measurement field for emitting measuring light to the sample, a light-receptive unit for receiving the measuring light that has passed through the sample, and a purge air supplying unit for supplying purge air. The air-driven shutter device includes a shutter and a shutter opening and closing mechanism. The shutter is disposed between the light-emitting unit and/or the light-receptive unit and the measurement field. The shutter opening and closing mechanism keeps the shutter open with pressure of the gas supplied from the purge air supplying unit, and closes the shutter when the pressure of the gas supplied from the purge air supplying unit becomes lower than a predetermined level.
