Abstract
A sonic gas analyzer intended primarily for estimation of CO2 in the physiological range of 0–10% is described. The instrument uses a resonant cavity maintained in oscillation by a transistor amplifier as the measuring device; the change in frequency caused by the presence of CO2 in the cavity is linearly related to the amount of CO2 present. As described the instrument is intended for continuous sampling at a rate of about 2 l/min. The time of response is about 0.5 sec for full deflection.
