Introduction
We can provide Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas analyzers with TDLAS and NDIR technologies to meet different customer needs. Measurement range from ppm to %
What are the principles of measuring CO2 gas ?
Measuring CO2 gas involves the use of two main technologies: Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) and Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR).
TDLAS is a relatively new technology that relies on the absorption of light in order to measure the concentration of CO2 in a gas. It uses a laser to detect the molecules in a sample, and then calculates the concentration based on their optical absorption. This technique is advantageous in that it has a high degree of accuracy, can measure small concentrations, and does not require calibration with reference gases.
IR-GAS-600 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer is a new type of infrared gas sensor independently developed by our company for environmental monitoring and industrial site emission gas analysis. High-precision, high-resolution probes and gas absorption cells with completely independent intellectual property rights are used. The sensor has the characteristics of high precision, good stability and fast response time.
Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) is a more traditional method of measuring CO2 gas. This technique relies on the infrared absorption of CO2 molecules and the detection of infrared radiation by an optical detector. NDIR is typically used to measure larger concentrations of gases, but it is not as accurate or sensitive as TDLAS. Additionally, NDIR requires calibration with reference gases in order to properly measure the concentrations of CO2 in a sample.

A carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer that utilizes NDIR (Nondispersive Infrared) technology is a device specifically designed to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a gas sample using the NDIR principle. NDIR technology has become a widely adopted method for CO2 gas analysis due to its accuracy and reliability.
In NDIR-based CO2 gas analyzers, the working principle involves the measurement of the absorption of infrared light by CO2 molecules. The analyzer emits infrared light at a specific wavelength that is absorbed by CO2, while other gases in the sample do not absorb significantly at that wavelength. By measuring the amount of light absorbed, the analyzer can determine the CO2 concentration in the gas sample.
Here’s a simplified overview of how an NDIR CO2 gas analyzer works:
NDIR-based CO2 gas analyzers offer several advantages, including high accuracy, stability, and low sensitivity to other gases present in the sample. They are commonly used in applications such as indoor air quality monitoring, greenhouse gas monitoring, combustion processes, and industrial emissions control.
When selecting an NDIR CO2 gas analyzer, important factors to consider include the measurement range, accuracy, response time, calibration requirements, data logging capabilities, and any specific application requirements.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) monitoring is important. To accurately assess the amount of CO2 emissions produced during different industrial activities.
Overall, CO2 monitoring is an important tool for assessing the amount of CO2 emissions produced during different industrial activities. By measuring and monitoring these emissions, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Gas Analyzer can help in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of climate change. By doing this, it can also have a positive effect on the environment.
