  • Patent number: 8085404
    Abstract: A gas analyzer capable of measuring a concentration of a gas component in gas at sensor units provided at a plurality of positions in real time by decreasing the number of signals input from the sensor units to an analyzer so as to reduce a data amount input to the analyzer and a gas analyzing method. The gas analyzing method includes the steps of: demultiplexing laser light by a demultiplexer into measurement laser light and reference laser light; letting the measurement laser light pass through gas to be received by a photoreceiver; finding an absorption spectrum absorbed by a gas component in the gas based on a light intensity of the received measurement laser light and of the reference laser light; and analyzing the absorption spectrum to measure a concentration of the gas component.

  • Publication number: 20090248350
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a temperature of exhaust gas includes calculating an approximate temperature at least one time by fitting a measured spectrum to a portion of theoretical spectra defined in association with a first temperature range using a temperature determined in the an immediately previous preceding temperature analysis as a reference, and then determining a calculated temperature by fitting the measured spectrum to all the theoretical spectra over a second temperature range that is narrower than the first temperature range, using the approximate temperature as a reference.
