What is a CO2 meter?

A CO2 meter is a machine that measures carbon dioxide. It is also called a carbon dioxide sensor or carbon dioxide measuring instrument. It is used not only for experiments and observations, but also for a wide range of purposes for safety management in general homes, offices, and factories. There are roughly three methods for detecting carbon dioxide (NDIR type, solid CO2 electrolysis sensor, photoacoustic type sensor), but the NDIR type is the mainstream because of its high sensitivity and high stability.

Application of CO2 meter

CO2 is a colorless and odorless gas, but if its concentration in a certain space is high, it will affect the human body. A guideline for maintaining a good indoor environment, CO2 digestion equipment, checking for exhaust gas leaks from combustion equipment (stove, boiler, etc.) at home, and in the agricultural field, for crops in vinyl houses It is widely used as an index to judge whether it is the optimum environment. In recent years, it has become possible to obtain it as a small sensor module at a low price, so it is also used as a part for electronic work, and the range of use is expanding.
