Abstract:
A portable handheld gas leak detector that draws in a sample of ambient air for detecting the presence of a gas by sensing changes in infrared (IR) energy between an IR emitter and an IR sensor when the gas is in the space between the IR emitter and the IR sensor.

Claim (Index 10):
A portable handheld gas leak detector comprising:\n (a) a single-hand sized housing enclosure having an interior volume and having a length, a width, and a thickness, the length extending longitudinally from a bottom surface to a top surface, the width extending from a left side surface to a right side surface, and the thickness extending from a back side surface to a front side surface; (b) a sample air intake tube leading into said housing enclosure; (c) an optical bench disposed within said housing enclosure that includes an air sample tube having an infrared (IR) emitter at one end of the air sample tube and an IR sensor at the opposite end of the air sample tube, an inlet near said IR emitter fluidly connected with said sample air intake tube, and an outlet near said IR sensor fluidly connected with an air pump within said housing enclosure; (d) said IR emitter comprising a resistor for generating and emitting IR energy into said air sample tube; and (e) circuitry adapted to regulate voltage supplied to said resistor for providing a consistent voltage to said resistor and thereby allowing for consistent heating of the resistor and consistent IR emissions therefrom.
