Carbon Dioxide

What Does A Carbon Dioxide Detector Do?

A carbon dioxide detector monitors the presence of carbon dioxide, a colourless and odourless gas, vital to life on Earth. Our range of carbon dioxide (CO₂) detectors, allow carbon dioxide to be strongly absorbed thanks to our non-dispersive infrared technology.

Carbon dioxide is mostly nontoxic, unless concentrations become elevated. CO₂ can be used to freeze food, carbonate beverages, extinguish fires, and has various uses in agricultural and medical applications. Excessive carbon dioxide emissions cause ocean acidification, making it one of the primary climate change contributors, and therefore necessary to monitor.

CO₂ Detector Applications

A carbon dioxide detector can be used in a number of industries:

• Agriculture
• Landfill
• Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
• Biogas
• Mining
• Process Control
• HVAC
• Horticulture
• Modified Atmosphere Packaging
• Controlled Atmosphere Packaging

Have a look at a recent article on creating gaseous micro environments for packaging produce, and learn how our carbon dioxide meter can be used for this and many other applications.
