CO2 SENSOR

When the CO2 level goes up, productivity goes down!! High concentrations of CO2 cause drowsiness and discomfort and an inability to think, reason, retain information and respond. In short, when CO2 levels go up, the productivity in your office, restaurant, factory or conference room goes down.

CO2 is used as a surrogate ventilation index for diagnosing ventilation inefficiency or distribution problems. As the number of people in the space increase or the level of activity increases, so will the CO2 concentration. Increased concentrations of CO2 in a space is also linked to discomfort and increased perception of odour. However, Indoor pollution sources and other indoor air quality (IAQ) problems might exist even when indoor CO2 levels are measured below 1000 ppm.

The Ecofresh Carbon Dioxide (CO2) detector mode Sensor, is applicable to any situation in which the amount of CO2 is used to indicate the breathing quality of the surrounding air.


HOW DOES THE CO2 SENSOR WORK?

The dual-beam infrared absorption sensor is self-calibrating and provides exceptional accuracy, sensitivity and reduced drift. The detector display the parts per million (PPM) of CO2 in the air and controls the opening and costing of a set of relay contacts that can be used to actuate fans to bring in fresh air in order to reduce the CO2 level in this manner fresh air may be introduced in a sufficient volume to maintain a healthy breathing environment while keeping energy costs to a minimum.

The Ecofresh Carbon Dioxide (CO2) sensors and controllers are designed for Demand Controlled Ventilation, DCV in buildings. This approach, using CO2 as an indicator of occupancy, allows ventilation based on actual occupancy while still maintaining ASHRAE recommended per-person ventilation rates.

The detector displays the parts per million (PPM) or CO2 in the air and controls the opening and closing of a set of relay contacts that can be used to actuate fans to bring in fresh air in order to reduce the CO2 level in this manner. Fresh air may be introduced in a sufficient volume to maintain a healthy breathing environment while keeping energy costs to a minimum. Over-ventilation of buildings can be reduced, energy can be saved and air quality can be optimized.
