The Optical Bench DMC contains the key components of the optical
measurement that eventually results in CO concentration.
The optical bench is an airtight bench that contains the sample gas. It also
includes the mirrors that reflect infrared light multiple times across the
sample path before detection, to maximize absorption. Heaters are used to
maintain the optical bench at a constant temperature.
A bandpass filter limits the light entering the optical bench to a narrow
band of the infrared within which CO absorbs.
A gas filter wheel contains samples of CO and N
2
gas with a chopper disk.
The wheel is rotated so that infrared light is periodically interrupted to
produce a modulated signal upon detection. Differentiating the light
through the CO and N
2
components of the wheel, in the presence of CO
in the optical bench, allow the determination of sample CO absorption and
concentration.
The chopper motor rotates the gas filter wheel and chopper disk at a
uniform speed.
A separate optical switch assembly detects the position of the filter wheel
for synchronizing the modulated signal and for checking the chopper
motor speed.
The filter wheel purge includes a housing attached between the optical
bench and the motor plate. It surrounds the gas correlation wheel and
allows purging the area around the gas correlation wheel with instrument
air or a gas other than that present in the local atmosphere. This increases
the reliability of the measurement by removing contaminants in the vicinity
of the wheel that would interfere with the analytical process.
Figure 8–1
shows how the filter wheel purge is configured within the instrument for an
external purge gas supply. The instrument’s default configuration allows for
active flow of in instrument air through the filter wheel purge.
