Carbon monoxide sensors have an important role in industry, agriculture and atmospheric environment detection, and in daily applications, electrochemical carbon monoxide sensors are one of the most used.

Detection of carbon monoxide in the civilian sector

In the civil field, carbon monoxide sensors are widely used in household carbon monoxide alarms and domestic gas water heaters to detect the concentration of carbon monoxide in real time and prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

Electrochemical carbon monoxide sensors use the electrochemical oxidation process of carbon monoxide gas to be measured at the potential of the working electrode in the electrolytic cell. The current generated by the electrochemical reaction of the gas to be measured is proportional to its concentration and follows Faraday's law, and the concentration of the gas to be measured can be determined by measuring the magnitude of the current.

This type of sensor has low power consumption, high accuracy, high sensitivity, wide linear range, strong anti-interference ability, excellent repeatability and stability, and is very suitable for carbon monoxide detection in civil fields.

Civilian detection of carbon monoxide selection
Product model Product appearance Range Resolution
MEu-2CO MEu-2CO 0-500ppm 0.5ppm
ME2-CO14X14 ZE07-CO 0-1000ppm 1ppm
ZE15-CO ZE15-CO 0-500ppm 0.1ppm
ZE07-CO ZE07-CO 0-500ppm 0.1ppm

Detection of carbon monoxide in industry

Under normal conditions, carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, insoluble in water gas, at room temperature, carbon monoxide does not react with acid, alkali, etc., but mixed with air can form explosive mixtures, open fire, high temperature can cause combustion, explosion, belonging to flammable, explosive gases.

In petroleum and petrochemical, metallurgy, mining and other industrial places are inseparable from the determination of carbon monoxide concentration. When using fixed potential electrolytic CO sensor, CO and O2 are in the working electrode and counter electrode respectively, the corresponding redox reaction and release charge to form a current, the current size is proportional to the CO concentration, through the test current size can determine the level of CO concentration.

This kind of low power consumption, high accuracy, high sensitivity and wide linear range sensor is very suitable for measuring CO concentration in industrial field.

ME3-CO ME3-CO 0-1000ppm 0.5ppm
ME4-CO ME4-CO 0-1000ppm 1ppm
MEu-CO MEu-CO 0-1000ppm 1ppm
ZE03-CO ZE03-CO 0-500ppm 1ppm

Atmospheric environmental monitoring and detection of carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide is an atmospheric pollutant, the largest number in the atmosphere, the most widely distributed, is the product of incomplete combustion of coal, oil and other carbon-containing substances, high levels of carbon monoxide in the air, not only make the air quality worse, but also affect the health of people, causing acute and chronic poisoning, and even death.

Fixed potential point solution type carbon monoxide sensor is also suitable for urban air environment monitoring, enterprise environment monitoring, factory plant disorganized emission pollution gas monitoring, emergency monitoring environmental evaluation monitoring.
