						CO2 Gas Sensor for OEM / CO2 Gas Sensor 
						for Industrial 
						
						Use of CO2  (carbon dioxide) gas sensors in food 
						processing extends the storage and usable shelf life of 
						both fresh and shelf stable food products. In meat 
						processing, C02 gas sensors assist in retaining the 
						natural meat color and inhibits bacterial growth. 
						 
						The most common reason for use of CO2 gas sensors is to 
						exclude oxygen (O2) from the atmosphere contained inside 
						the storage packaging. When oxygen levels can be dropped 
						below 2.0%, the amount of deleterious oxidation 
						reactions in stored foods can be greatly decreased 
						resulting in longer palatability and nutritional shelf 
						live. 
						 
						A less common, but very important use for CO2 gas 
						sensors is fumigation. This is the killing or retarding 
						of insect life contained in the food product. 
						
						Areas of Application: 
						Integrated Systems, Geothermal, Space Experiments, Metal 
						Heat Treating, Industrial, Flue Monitoring, and Overseas 
						Shipping Containers.

						CO2 Gas Sensor OEM / CO2 Gas Detector 
						Biotech 
						
						CO2 gas sensors to control CO2 levels in environmental 
						incubators is crucial in the fields of Molecular 
						Biology, Tissue Culture, Cell Biology, Protein 
						Biochemistry and Immunochemical. Optimal carbon dioxide 
						conditions are maintained using non-dispersive infrared 
						(NDIR) CO2 gas analyzers in cell growth applications. 
						Fast CO2 gas detector recovery after an inner door 
						opening, is achieved through a CO2 injection sequence 
						for rapid return to the CO2 gas monitor set point. 
						Independent regulation of CO2 gas levels provide for 
						optimum growth conditions to meet the stringent 
						requirements of today's cell and tissue culture 
						experiments. 
						 
						CO2 gas monitoring is also critical in poultry 
						incubators as the embryo ages.  
						The oxygen demand increases rapidly as more carbon 
						dioxide is given off to the environment. Carbon dioxide 
						levels above 0.5% lower hatchability slightly, levels 
						above 1.0% CO2 reduce hatchability significantly, and 
						levels above 5.0% CO2 are lethal. Adequate air exchange 
						rates need to be balanced with CO2 levels along with 
						humidity content in the incubator to ensure safe and 
						healthy development of the poultry embryos. 
						
						Areas of Application: 
						Tissue Culture Incubators and Poultry Incubators.

									Health & Safety 
									
									Using a carbon dioxide sensor for measuring 
									content in the human breath, with 
									non-dispersive infrared NDIR CO2 gas sensor 
									technology, is a very effective method for 
									determining the performance of the pulmonary 
									system. 
									 
									High concentrations of carbon dioxide in the 
									work place can be hazardous. This can result 
									in unconsciousness or even death. Industries 
									such as dry ice manufacturers can utilize 
									our CO2 monitors to ensure that any CO2 gas 
									being produced does not rise to dangerous 
									levels and adversely affect their personnel.
									
									
									Areas of Application: 
									Wineries, Breweries, Underground Garages, 
									Refineries, Submarines, Loading Docks, 
									Livestock, Bakeries, Ocean Suits, Ocean 
									Submersibles, Tunnels, Animal Farms, 
									Slaughter Houses, Warehouse/Storage, and 
									Broiler Houses.

			HVAC 
			
			Carbon Dioxide gas sensor measurements are utilized in Demand 
			Controlled Ventilation (DCV). The objective in DCV CO2 monitoring is 
			to satisfy the conflicting requirements of minimum energy 
			consumption of ventilation systems, while simultaneously maintaining 
			indoor air quality. A balance of both, safe CO2 gas levels and 
			energy savings, can be maintained as our CO2 gas monitoring system 
			will introduce only as much outside "fresh" air as is required to 
			ensure a healthy workplace.
			 
			A high C02 level along with other pollutants in the occupant area 
			indicates signs of poor building ventilation. Research shows that 
			proper demand control ventilation strategies along with CO2 sensor 
			measurements will keep the indoor air clean and safe for occupant 
			health and comfort.
			 Areas of Application:
 
			Hospitals, Offices, Schools, Theaters, Indoor Sports Arenas, High 
			Rise Buildings, Indoor Area Quality, Commercial Buildings, 
			Residential Housing, Public Buildings, Demand Controlled 
			Ventilation, and  Clean Rooms.

						Greenhouse 
						
						In all crops, Carbon Dioxide enrichment will increase 
						the rate of CO2 uptake (photosynthesis) allowing for 
						accelerated plant growth. Controlling and monitoring the 
						concentration using a CO2 gas monitor improves the 
						growth rate and quality of plant development. 
						 
						The result of both higher CO2 concentration and better 
						light interception provides a huge increase of initial 
						growth in young plants. An increase in these two factors 
						transposes into more/bigger leaves and taller/heavier 
						plants. 
						 
						This process must be carefully monitored to be sure the 
						CO2 gas levels do not rise too high or the plants growth 
						can be stunted or damaged. 
						
						Areas of Application: 
						Mushroom Farms, Flower Farms and Vegetable Farms

									Process Control 
									
									Food processors using Individual Quick 
									Freeze (IQF) CO2 cryogenic freezer tunnels 
									have found CO2 Gas Sensors necessary to 
									measure area CO2 gas levels in order to 
									provide working personnel safety. The 
									installation of the Model 2156 CO2 gas 
									monitor will meet the USDA requirements for 
									CO2 gas monitoring and provide a proper 
									level of CO2 measurement safety. 
									 
									A new and emerging process is to use 
									pressurized Carbon Dioxide CO2 gas sensor 
									treatment in juice processing to inactivate 
									food enzymes through creating a carbonic 
									acid liquid. The result is maintaining the 
									nutritional benefits and flavor of fresh 
									squeezed juice while extending the storage 
									and usable shelf life. 
									 
									Seafood processors have found that the use 
									of a gas mixture of Carbon Monoxide CO 
									sensor, Carbon Dioxide CO2 sensor and 
									Nitrogen N2 sensor allow for a stable and 
									safe quality product, reduced growth of 
									pathogenic bacteria, a longer 
									microbiological shelf life and a attractive 
									wholesome appearing product. 
									 
									Dairy applications using Carbon Dioxide CO2 
									sensors during processing inhibits the 
									growth of microorganisms that cause spoilage 
									thus allowing for longer periods of storage 
									prior to shipment and shelf life. 
									 
									Control of CO2 sensor concentration levels 
									is also used for the ripening and storage of 
									fruits and vegetables. 
									
									Areas of Application: 
									CO2 Cryogenic Freezer Tunnel, Laboratories, 
									Food Processing, Fumigation, Food Storage
