CO2 Sensors and Energy Efficiency
This system of using CO2 monitoring devices to trigger/control HVAC systems is continuing across much of the U.S. Many commercial buildings are now designed to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) specifications. LEED was designed and is administrated by the USGBC (United States Green Building Council) and the testing and certification of the program is conducted by the Green Business Certification Inc.
One common CO2 monitor designed specifically for HVAC applications is the CO2, Temp, and RH Indoor Air Quality Monitor. This device allows occupants to easily monitor and control CO2 levels specific for smart homes, classrooms, offices and commercial buildings. In addition, We uses a 3-color backlit LCD display, provides user-selectable configurations, and meets the latest LEED certifications.
What sensors are used in HVAC systems?
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in homes, schools and office buildings commonly use carbon dioxide sensors to monitor and control indoor air quality.
However, additional sensors have these:
- Temperature sensors
- Humidity sensors
- Pressure sensors
- Position sensors
- Flow switches
- Vibration sensors
- Gas sensors (oxygen, CO2, CO, methane, etc.)
CO2 sensor are most commonly used because additional guidelines continue to be issued for businesses to enhance ventilation and use carbon dioxide sensors to mitigate the transmission of air-borne illnesses.
Why do we need CO2 sensors?
Controlling and monitoring indoor levels of carbon dioxide is essential for human health, safety, and even energy efficiency in buildings. Ambient outdoor air is composed of approximately, 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 0.04% carbon dioxide. Indoors, a lack of proper air circulation can dramatically alter the gas concentrations from being balanced and healthy, resulting in air full of pathogens.
F.A.Q.
Indoor air quality generally measures CO2 concentrations above 400ppm(fresh air) to 3000ppm(hot office). But, CO2 sensors measuring in the 400ppm to 10000ppm range are commonly used in hvac applications. The CO2 Sensor is commonly used to measure the air composition in ventilation units to monitor the performance of HVAC systems in offices and commercial buildings
CO sensors are widely used in industrial exhaust emissions, livestock farms, central air conditioning, agricultural greenhouses
Pay attention to the range, pay attention to waterproof, pay attention to the ambient temperature
1.The product adopts the high density material shell, the shape is exquisite, saves the space.
2.Sensor built-in waterproof sealing ring, moisture-proof performance is good.
3.Strong anti-interference signal and stable signal.
