Abstract
A gas analyzer has a generally cylindrical cell having cell windows closing the opposite ends thereof and which are infrared passing materials and pipes for passing a sample gas through the cell, a source of infrared radiation at one end of the cell, a chopper at the other end of the cell, and a sensing part of the other end of the cell on the opposite side of the chopper from the cell. The sensing part has a plurality of dual pyroelectric sensors spaced around the axis of the cell and each having a pair of elements constituted by a light receiving element for receiving infrared radiation which has passed through the cell and an auxiliary element, the pair of elements in each sensor being positioned substantially radially relative to the axis of the cell with the light receiving element radially inwardly of the auxiliary element and lying within the cross-section of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical cell and the auxiliary element lying outside the cross-section.
