Abstract

A concentration measurement device 100 includes a light source 22 for generating incident light to a measurement space 10 A, a photodetector 24 for receiving light emitted from the measurement space, and an arithmetic control circuit 26 for calculating a concentration of a measurement fluid on the basis of an output of the photodetector, and the light source includes a first light-emitting element 22 a for generating light having a first wavelength, and a second light-emitting element 22 b for generating light having a second wavelength, and the concentration measurement device is configured so as to calculate the concentration using either light of the first wavelength or the second wavelength on the basis of the pressure or temperature of the measurement fluid.

Claims (9)

1. A concentration measurement device comprising:

a measurement space into which a measurement fluid flows;

a light source for generating an incident light to the measurement space;

a photodetector for receiving a light emitted from the measurement space; and

an arithmetic control circuit for calculating a concentration of the measurement fluid on the basis of an output of the photodetector, the arithmetic control circuit being configured to determine the concentration on the basis of a signal of the photodetector according to the Lambert-Beer law, wherein

the light source includes a first light-emitting element for generating light having a first wavelength and a second light-emitting element for generating light having a second wavelength that is different from the first wavelength, the concentration measurement device is configured to measure the concentration using the light of either the first wavelength or the second wavelength on the basis of a pressure or a temperature of the measurement fluid.

2. The concentration measurement device according to claim 1 , further comprising a temperature sensor for measuring a fluid temperature in the measurement space, wherein the concentration measurement device is configured to correct the concentration on the basis of an output of the temperature sensor.

3. The concentration measurement device according to claim 1 , further comprising a pressure sensor for measuring a fluid pressure in the measurement space, wherein the concentration measurement device is configured to correct the concentration on the basis of an output of the pressure sensor.

4. The concentration measurement device according to claim 2 , further comprising a pressure sensor for measuring a fluid pressure in the measurement space, wherein the concentration measurement device is configured to correct the concentration on the basis of an output of the pressure sensor.
