100 / 200 / 300

DESCRIPTION
The heart of the CAI Infrared Gas Analyzer Series is the unique
optical bench. The single beam design requires no optical alignment. Sample
cells have inexpensive, replaceable gold foil liners should sample contamination
ever occur. The highly sensitive and extremely reliable microflow detector provides
greater detectability, greater stability and a lower sensitivity to vibration
than conventional analyzers utilizing solid state or condenser microphone detectors.
Couple this optical bench to the electronics and compact case design of the
CAI series and you have a truly customized, state-of-the-art analyzer at an
unbelievably low price.
CAI offers two oxygen analyzer options for the 100, 200, 300 series.
A. Low cost but reliable galvanic fuel cell.
B. High performance compact paramagnetic sensor.
Either option or both can be selected for the series. Both read directly in
digital percent oxygen. Both have multiple ranges and multiple linear outputs.
They may be configured as a stand-aloneanalyzerseries 100 orteamed with an NDIR
bench in the series 200 or 300 to deliver a multicomponent solution to your
gas analysis requirements.
METHOD OF OPERATION
Non Dispersive Infrared (NDIR)
The CAI NDIR analyzer section is based on the infrared absorption
characteristics of gases. Using a single infrared beam to measure gas concentrations,
this analyzer produces highly stable and reliable results.
A single infrared light beam is modulated by a chopper system and passed through
a sample cell of predetermined length containing the gas sample to be analyzed.
As the beam passes through the cell, the sample gas absorbs some of its energy.
The attentuated bean (transmittance) emerges from the cell and is introduced
to the front chamber of a two-chamber infrared microflow detector. The detector
is filled with the gas component of interest and, consequently, the beam experiences
further energy absorption. This absorption process increases the pressure in
both chambers. The differential pressure between the front and rear chambers
of the detector causes a slight gas flow between the two chambers. This flow
is detected by a mass-flow sensor and is converted into an AC signal. The AC
signal is amplified and rectified into a DC voltage signal and ultimately supplied
to the output terminal and digital panel meter. The electrical output signal
is directly proportional to the concentration of the sample gas.
