Air quality monitors are specialized instruments for air quality monitoring that can measure specific gas concentrations in the air, air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and concentration of airborne particles such as PM2.5 in a single unit.
The types of gases that can be measured include mainly oxygen concentration, carbon dioxide concentration, carbon monoxide concentration, formaldehyde concentration, nitrogen concentration, ozone concentration, volatile organic compound concentration, etc. Toxic substances and harmful gases can also be measured.
Different instruments cover different ranges, so choose the one that corresponds to the gases that can be measured according to your application.
Air quality monitors allow you to observe the air quality in a specific environment, such as indoors, at all hours of the day and, if the device is connected to the Internet, you can check it on the Internet regardless of location or time.
Air quality monitors are used to monitor and inspect air conditioning systems and indoor environments with strict sanitary controls because they can measure and analyze the air quality of indoor environments.
Specific uses of air quality monitors include maintenance and inspection of air conditioning systems and indoor environments, clean rooms, manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals, food, and other products, and hermetic testing.
In addition, the air quality monitors are also used to measure and monitor particles in order to identify the cause of air pollution.
Air quality monitors use gas and particle sensors to sense the concentration of gases and the amount of particles in the air.
Particle measurements are made using high-resolution optical sensors. The principle of measurement is to measure the distribution of the number of particles that fall within the size range of the particles by detecting scattered light, and the measurements observed by these sensors are converted to concentration using an algorithm.
The detection principle of measuring the concentration of each gas differs depending on the sensor type, such as sensors using electrochemistry and sensors using the two-wavelength nondispersive infrared sensor (NDIR) method.
