  • Gas cell for the optical analysis of gases
    Patent number: 9279721
    Abstract: A measuring cell for a gas analysis spectrometer has an inner chamber for a sample gas to be analyzed and an inlet and an outlet which are connected thereto. A traversing optical path for a measuring beam is formed in the inner chamber. The measuring cell is tubular, the inlet and the outlet are arranged at opposite ends, and the inner chamber of the measuring cell has a cross-sectional shape that is monotonic over the length of the tube and which has an oval-shape at the start, which disappears toward the end. That special shape results in fast gas exchange and thus high dynamics, even with larger measuring cells, which have high sensitivity due to the long optical paths thereof. Two characteristics which until now appeared to be conflicting are thereby combined.

  • Gas cell for the optical analysis of gases
    Publication number: 20150185075
    Abstract: A measuring cell for a gas analysis spectrometer has an inner chamber (23) for a sample gas to be analyzed and an inlet (21) and an outlet (22) which are connected thereto. A traversing optical path for a measuring beam (14) is formed in the inner chamber (23). The measuring cell is tubular, the inlet (21) and the outlet (22) are arranged at opposite ends, and the inner chamber (23) of the measuring cell has a cross-sectional shape that is monotonic over the length of the tube and which has an oval-shape at the start, which disappears toward the end. That special shape results in fast gas exchange and thus high dynamics, even with larger measuring cells, which have high sensitivity due to the long optical paths thereof. Two characteristics which until now appeared to be conflicting are thereby combined.
