Buy the thermal conductivity CO₂ sensor specifically designed for high-concentration CO₂ detection, with a measurement range up to 0-100% Vol. It effortlessly handles diverse applications including industrial safety, agricultural cultivation, and HVAC monitoring. Its 3.0V low-power design with ≤120mA operating current supports long-term sensor operation.
In clean air, the absolute value of annual zero drift is less than 2 mV. In 30% CO₂ atmosphere, the absolute value of annual drift is less than 2 mV. For short-term storage (within two weeks), stability is achieved within 8 hours. For long-term storage (one year), 48 hours of aging is required to achieve stability.
Thermal conductivity CO₂ sensors operate on the principle that the overall thermal conductivity of a mixed gas changes with the concentration of the target gas. A detection element and a compensation element are paired to form one arm of an electrical bridge. When exposed to a gas with higher thermal conductivity than air, the resistance of the detection element decreases; when exposed to a gas with lower thermal conductivity than air (air background), the resistance increases. The bridge circuit's output voltage changes proportionally with increasing gas concentration. The compensation element serves as a reference and provides temperature compensation.
These CO₂ sensors are ideal for high-concentration CO₂ environments, particularly in greenhouse cultivation, fermentation control, industrial process monitoring, and air quality detection. They operate stably across a wide concentration range, unaffected by humidity or light variations.
Thermal conductivity CO₂ sensors are sensitive to variations in thermal conductivity among different gases. The presence of mixed gases in the environment can affect measurement results. It is recommended for use in clean, known-composition gas streams, with filtration or pre-treatment devices as needed.
