BACKGROUND Gas sensors configured to measure as a gas bases on absorption bands of bands of radiation characteristic to the gas of interest is widely known, for example as disclosed in WO10118748A describing a sensor having a filter arrangement, downstream of which there is arranged a detector arrangement, and an evaluating device which is connected to the detector arrangement, the filter arrangement has at least a first filter, the suspect filter, which is configured as a band pass filter allowing the passage of a first predetermined band, the suspect band, at least one second filter, the reference filter(s), which is configured as a band pass filter allowing the passage of a second
predetermined band(s), the reference band(s), and where the detector arrangement has at least one detector associated with at least one of the filters. The band passes reference filters are distributed above and below the band pass of the suspect filter. The sensor with advantage could be utilized within the IR band, and could advantageously be used to detect CO.
A second document WO10118749A discloses a related sensor relating to the fact that particles or substances in general are present in the environment where the sensor operates, and that these over time gets into contact with more delicate parts of the sensor, decreasing the time of operation of the sensor, before maintenances or even exchange is needed. It is therefore often desired to keep the more delicate parts of the sensor physically separated from the media or environment containing the substances or species being measured by the sensor. The present invention solves this problem by introducing sight glasses positioned at least in front of the delicate parts of the sensor, the sight glasses in general being formed with coating(s) chosen according to the environment wherein the sight glasses are to be used.
The present invention in the preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment relates to sensors of the same kind as described in the documents WO10118749A and WO10118748A, where it especially relates to a sensor as in
W010118749A including a system of sight glasses to protect the delicate parts of the sensor, but where an alternative, or additional, method is introduced to keep the sight glasses clean, alternative or additional to form special and often expensive sight glasses with special coatings or surfaces.

Fig. 1 shows a diagrammatic view of a gas sensor (1) for determining for example the CO2 content (carbon dioxide content) in a measurement region (3), where the sensor (1) comprises a detection part (2) and an light source (4) emitting light (illustrated by the arrow) within a desired span of wavelengths defined by the specific gas, or gasses, to be measured, frequently within the such span of IR frequencies.
In the example, a large number of CO2 molecules are present in the
measurement region (2), the CO2 molecules being represented herein by small circles. The gas molecules (5) absorb IR rays in a specific spectral range, as represented by the arrows. The greater the concentration of CO2 the lower the energy in a specific spectral range that can be detected in the gas sensor (1).
The measurement region (3) may be defined as the internal a porous structure (6), such that the sensor device (2) is fixed at first end of the porous structure (6) and the light source (4) is fixed at a second end. The porous structure (6) may be formed such that gas (5) may enter and leave its internal hollow, the measurement region (3), through openings (21) and (22) in its wall. However, in an alternative version, it is gas tight the gas to be measured being filled into the internal. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, sight glasses (8) are introduced to form a gas tight separation of the light source (4) and the detector (2) from the measurement region (2), but still ensuring optic communication from the light source (4) to the detector device (2).
Further it is preferred that the porous structure (6) is such that it forms a stable alignment of the detector (2) to the light source (4), despite changes in the ambient conditions such as the humidity, temperature, vibrations etc. A first (9) and / or second (10) sight tube may be connected to the porous structure (6) and detector (2) and / or light source (4). The sight tube is hollow and may be forming an internal being gas tight sealed from the externals and the measurement region (3), still maintaining the optic communication from the light source (4) to the detector device (2).
The sensor (1) of the present system preferable is made in a manner where each of the parts, sensor (2), light source (4), separation structures (9) and (10), and porous structure (6) are individually easily exchangeable. Each of the parts may be connected to other parts in any manner as known in the art, such as by equipping the parts with windings so that they may comprise windings, or by the use of suitable fittings.
Further it is preferred that the porous structure (6) is such that it forms a stable alignment of the detector (2) to the light source (4), despite changes in the ambient conditions such as the humidity, temperature, vibrations etc. A first (9) and / or second (10) sight tube may be connected to the porous structure (6) and detector (2) and / or light source (4). The sight tube is hollow and may be forming an internal being gas tight sealed from the externals and the measurement region (3), still maintaining the optic communication from the light source (4) to the detector device (2). The internal(s) of the sight tube(s) may be filled with a gas inert to the wavelengths of the system. This helps to ensure no absorption occurs in the sight tubes (9) and (10) affecting the signal.
In an embodiment, one or both of the sight tubes (9) and (10) comprises sight glasses (8) attached either at one or both ends of the sight tube(s), where they may be attached in a manner, where they form the gas tight internal(s) of the sight tube(s).
The first (9) and second (10) sight tubes may optionally be mounted in a way such that they defines hermetically sealed volumes, where one or both of these in a preferred embodiment is filled with and gas inactive to the radiation frequency span of the light source (4) or at least to the frequencies of interest for measurements. This may help to get rid of any cross-correlations, and the volume(s) may additionally be filled with a gas of high concentration in order to filter specific wavelengths out. The volume may be filled with any gas, as long as the concentrations are stable over time meaning that the volume is
adequately sealed for the purpose.. In order to keep internal surfaces to the gas sensor (1), especially the sight glasses (8). free from residues such as impurities and / or moist within mixed with the gas from, where this would affect the measurements, the present invention introduces a mechanism within the porous structure (6), and thus the measurement region (3), that forms the gas flow into a vortex, or whirlpool. This is illustrated if Fig. 1. This is the example of the present invention, however it may also be formed into a turbulent flow etc.
The structure of the illustrated embodiment is a hollow tube (100) inserted in a manner, where a first end-surface (103a) encircles one sight glass (8), and the opposite end-surface (103b) encircles another sight glass (8). . Further, the part of the internal of the porous structure (6) being external (101) to the hollow tube, are equipped with a separating wall (102) of any kind, separating it in two sub- chambers (101a) and (101b) being sealed from each other in a gas tight manner.
In this embodiment the two end-surfaces (103a) and (103b) of the hollow tube (100) are equipped with recesses (104a, b) forming communications from the respective sub-chambers (101a) and (101b) to the internal (105) of the hollow tube (100).
When a flow of gas is induced through the gas sensor (1) it enters one of the two sub-chambers (101 a) or (101 b) by an inlet opening (21 ). It then continues through the recesses (104a) or (104b) of the corresponding end-surface (103a) or (103b), into and along the internal (105) of the hollow tube (100), until it leaves to other sub-chamber ( 01b) or (10 a) by the opposite of the recesses (104b) or (104a). Finally the gas leaves the sensor through outlet opening(s) (22). The recesses (104a) and (104b) preferable is formed having a curvature, or being e.g. arch shaped, relative to the radial direction of the hollow tube (100), as illustrated in Fig. 2, where the radial direction is illustrated by the arrow.., By designing the recesses (104a) and (104b) correctly, a vortex of the gas flow in the internal (105) of the hollow structure (100) if formed, as illustrated by the dotted circles (106) in Fig. 1. How to design this is well established in the art. A simplified example is shown below.
The recesses (104a) and (104b) in the preferred but not exclusive embodiment is formed in the end-surfaces (103a) and (103b), but may be formed as bores in the walls of the hollow tube (100).
It has been found that when the gas flow in the internal (105) of the hollow tube (100) in this manner whirl from the one set of recesses (104a) or (104b) to the other (104b) or (104a), the residues / impurities and moist are swung out of the hollow tube (100) with the gas, without settling onto the sight glasses (8).
Further, the whirling gas, including whatever impurities and moist it may contain, will actually further help clean the sight glasses (8) should there anyway be a settlement of particles onto the sight glasses (8).
The sensor (1) in one embodiment is positioned within the internal of a sensor container (200), as seen in Fig. 3, where the sensor container (200) is equipped with a gas inlet (210) externally connected to the environment comprising the gas to be measured, thus forming a gas communication from this environment to the internal of the sensor container (200). The communication may be by a tube connected to the gas inlet (210). Further the sensor container (200) has a gas outlet (21 1 ) forming a connection from its inside to any environment where the gas that has been measured are to be fed, such as e.g. to the externals, or more preferable back into the environment containing the gas.
The gas inlet (210) of the sensor container (200) is connected to the inlet opening (21) of the gas sensor (1) and an gas outlet (211) connected to the outlet opening (22) of the gas sensor (1). A flow of gas in the internal of the sensor container (200) may then be induced by vacuum or pumping means of any kind as known in the arts. When the sensor (1 ) is inserted into the internal of the sensor container (200), the gas will then flow in and out through the openings (21) and (22) of the porous structure (6) and thus in and out of the measurement region (2), preferable at a constant flow rate.
A gas communication tube (23) may be connected to the sensor container (200) to form the gas flow connection from the first gas inlet (21 ) in the sensor stack (201 ) to the environment comprising the gas to be measured, and / or a gas communication tube (24) to form the gas flow connection from the last gas outlet (22) of the sensor stack (201) to where the gas is to be expelled. The tubes may comprise any needed connection means for fixing them to needed structures.
The materials of the sight tubes (9) and (10) preferable is such that they at least has the same heat transfer characteristics as the other parts of the gas sensor (1) (but not the cooling device (1 1 )), since this would ensure the different connected parts react to the temperature in the same manner.
