Measuring ventilation rates and air quality using carbon dioxide monitoring equipment.

Author(s) : SAFFELL J. R.

Summary

The use of non-dispersive infrared to measure equilibrium carbon dioxide concentration, and hence to infer ventilation rate, is rapidly gaining acceptance. The common technology of non-dispersive infrared has advantages and drawbacks when compared to other technologies especially electrochemical cells which offer low power, fast response and better resistance to shock and humidity. Compares the accuracy and ease of use of these two technologies in different applications.
