Carbon Dioxide Sensor Brief Introduction

Source:ShanXi TengXing Sensor TechnologyCo.,Ltd2025-10-09 10:20:50

    1. What is a Carbon Dioxide Sensor?

 

    A carbon dioxide sensor is a device used to detect carbon dioxide concentration in the air. It utilizes the NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) principle, measuring CO₂'s absorption characteristics of specific infrared waves to accurately calculate the concentration (unit: ppm).


    2. Core Technical Features


    High-Precision Measurement

    Using NDIR technology, it offers strong anti-interference capabilities, a long lifespan, and an accuracy of ±50 ppm.

    No oxygen environment required

    Suitable for monitoring confined spaces (such as greenhouses and fermentation tanks).

    Wide Monitoring Range

    The measurement range covers 400-5000 ppm, expandable to 100% concentration.


    3. Typical Application Scenarios

    4. Selection Recommendations

 

    For industrial applications: NDIR is preferred for its high accuracy and stability.

    For home/commercial applications: Choose either NDIR or electrochemical principles depending on your needs.

    For special environments: Select intrinsically safe devices when explosion-proof certification is required.
