Optical gas sensor

Optical gas sensors detect gas concentrations by measuring the absorption of specific wavelengths of infrared light by gas molecules. They utilize the Beer-Lambert law to convert changes in light intensity into electrical signals. These sensors are widely used in industrial process monitoring, environmental safety alarms, and exhaust gas analysis. In applications such as printing ink drying and the detection of volatile organic compounds in plastics, they provide real-time data feedback.
Selection
Select the characteristic absorption band that matches the target gas, ensuring the measurement range covers the actual concentration levels. Consider the response speed to match the operational conditions, and check for anti-interference capabilities to avoid cross-sensitivity. Evaluate the sensor lifespan and calibration cycle, taking into account the installation environment to ensure compatibility with explosion-proof or protection ratings.
