Applications and Advantages of Infrared Gas Sensors
19th Mar 2023
Compared with other types of gas sensors, infrared gas sensors have advantages that other types of gas sensors do not have. These advantages include good selectivity, long lifespan, independence from oxygen, low susceptibility to environmental interference, high precision, and so on. In practical applications, infrared gas sensors have higher practicality. Its application field is very extensive. Whether it is in petrochemical industry, atmospheric monitoring, medical and health, or agricultural development, it has made significant contributions. Today, we will share with you the specific applications of infrared gas sensors in different fields. Environmental Protection: Infrared gas sensors are mainly used to detect the concentration of carbon dioxide gas in the air during the monitoring of air quality in the atmosphere. Due to the greenhouse effect, carbon dioxide can absorb infrared rays, and this absorption can be used to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide gas per unit volume. The detection principle of infrared carbon dioxide sensors is based on the absorption of specific wavelengths of CO2 gas in a particular band of infrared radiation, which weakens the energy of radiation transmitted through the measurement chamber,...
