Abstract

A device for simultaneously measuring the flow of a gas mixture and a concentration of a specific gas in the mixture comprises a measuring chamber through which the mixture can flow, an acoustic transmitter (26) which generates and emits an acoustic signal that passes through the chamber, an acoustic receiver (28) for measuring the transmitted acoustic signal, and a first processor (36) linked to the receiver for determining the flow of gas through the chamber, based on the effect that the flow has on the acoustic signal. A second processor (38) is linked to the receiver for determining the concentration of the specific gas in the mixture, based on the effect of this gas on the signal. Preferably the second processor is used to measure carbon dioxide content.
