Overall NDIR Method
In the case of dual-channel analyzers, the
broadband emission from two infrared
sources pass through the chopper wheel.
In the case of the Interference Filter Cor-
relation (IFC) method, the infrared radia-
tion then passes through combinations of
interference filters. In the case of the
opto-pneumatic method, the infrared ra-
diation passes through an optical filter
depending on the application and need for
reduction of influences. Then the infrared
radiation enters the analysis cells from
which it is focused by filter cells onto the
corresponding detector. The preamplifier
detector output signal is then converted
into the analytical results expressed di-
rectly in the appropriate physical concen-
tration units such as percent volume,
ppm, mg/Nm
3
, etc. This is shown in Fig-
ure 1-3.
