In one preferred embodiment, a gas analyzer is presented that focuses light beams through gas cells without reflecting the light beams off the walls of the cells. By eliminating wall reflections, dirt or debris on the walls of the cells will not result in inaccurate gas concentration measurements. In another preferred embodiment, a gas analyzer is disclosed having removable gas cells, which allows a user to easily clean the cells instead of returning a contaminated gas analyzer to service personnel for cleaning. In yet another preferred embodiment, a gas analyzer has a purged gas flow channel between source and detector sections of the analyzer to remove contaminants that can result in inaccurate gas concentration measurements. In an additional preferred embodiment, a gas analyzer is disclosed which has a heat exchanger to equilibrate the temperature of incoming air to the temperature of the analyzer's gas cells, thereby avoiding temperature-based errors in gas concentration measurements.
