combustible gases and vapors in ambient air and wherein the ambient air
flows through a reaction chamber in contact with an oxidation catalyst in
the presence of a plurality of detecting means sensitive to the varying
radiant energy emitted along said catalyst in the direction of flow of the
ambient air and means for receiving and comparing these different detected
values.
