The Effect of the Sample Gas Flow Rate on
Cooling Capacity and Result Deviation
The cooling effect of the gas flow rate is
shown in Figure 9 (on the right). Low flow
rate increases cooling capacity but also
increases response time.

Figure 9 Effect of Sample Flow Rate on Lowest
Achievable Sensor Temperature
The sample flow rate has an effect on the
deviation of the measurement results as
shown in Figure 10 (on the right).
Sample flow rate range: 0.5...1.5 slpm.
Recommended sample flow rate: 1.0 slpm.
