What is the chemical reaction of a carbon monoxide sensor?
Taking the co sensor as an example, the chemical reaction formula is: The overall reaction is that carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide, the electron flow forms an external current, and the charge balance is completed by the flow of carriers in the electrolyte.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of carbon monoxide sensors?
According to the reaction principle of the sensor, carbon monoxide sensors are mainly divided into the following categories, and have the following advantages and disadvantages: 1. Semiconductor Principle Working principle: The sensitivity of the semiconductor sensor to gas depends on the temperature at which the sensitive element is heated.
Which co monoxide (CO) sensor should I Choose?
CO sensors of the FLOW EVO series from smartGAS are ideal for this task: They operate on the basis of non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption and therefore detect even minuscule carbon monoxide concentrations. The sensors are available for measuring ranges from 0 to 2000 ppm, 0 to 5000 ppm and 2, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Vol%.
