What are the principles of measuring CO2 gas?
Measuring CO2 gas involves the use of two main technologies: Tunable Diode Laser Absorp on
Spectroscopy (TDLAS) and Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR).
TDLAS is a rela vely new technology that relies on the absorp on of light in order to measure the
concentra on of CO2 in a gas. It uses a laser to detect the molecules in a sample, and then calculates
the concentra on based on their op cal absorp on. This technique is advantageous in that it has a
high degree of accuracy, can measure small concentra ons, and does not require calibra on with
reference gases.
Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) is a more tradi onal method of measuring CO2 gas. This technique
relies on the infrared absorp on of CO2 molecules and the detec on of infrared radia on by an
op cal detector. NDIR is typically used to measure larger concentra ons of gases, but it is not as
accurate or sensi ve as TDLAS. Addi onally, NDIR requires calibra on with reference gases in order
to properly measure the concentra ons of CO2 in a sample.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
What is the applica on of CO2 measurement? CO2 monitoring is important in order to accurately
assess the amount of CO2 emissions produced during different industrial ac vi es.
 Landing fills and agricultural products
 Metallurgical industry
 Combus on engines, furnaces and boilers
 Vehicles are the three main sources of CO2 emissions.
 Gasifica on
In the metallurgical industry, monitoring of CO2 emissions can be used to evaluate the efficiency of
the smel ng process. This can be done by measuring the amount of CO2 generated during the
process. In landfills, CO2 is a by-product of landfill gas and the monitoring of this gas can be used to
measure the efficiency of the landfill opera ons. The gas mainly contains CO2 and CH4, and if it is
used for combus on or power genera on, CO2 can also be used to evaluate the efficiency. In
vehicle carbon emissions, CO2 is a major greenhouse gas and monitoring of this emission can
effec vely measure which types of vehicles produce a large amount of CO2. This can help in
developing strategies to reduce the emission of this greenhouse gas and help fight climate
change. Overall, CO2 monitoring is an important tool for assessing the amount of CO2 emissions
produced during different industrial ac vi es. By measuring and monitoring these emissions, it can
help in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of climate change. By doing this, it can
also have a posi ve effect on the environment.
ADDITIONAL INFO
A CO2 gas analyzer that u lizes NDIR (Nondispersive Infrared) technology is a device specifically
designed to measure the concentra on of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a gas sample using the NDIR
principle. NDIR technology has become a widely adopted method for CO2 gas analysis due to
its accuracy and reliability.

In NDIR-based CO2 gas analyzers, the working principle involves the measurement of the
absorp on of infrared light by CO2 molecules. The analyzer emits infrared light at a specific
wavelength that is absorbed by CO2, while other gases in the sample do not absorb significantly
at that wavelength. By measuring the amount of light absorbed, the analyzer can determine the
CO2 concentra on in the gas sample.

Here’s a simplified overview of how an NDIR CO2 gas analyzer works:

Infrared Light Source: The analyzer includes an infrared light source, typically an infrared LED or
a tunable infrared laser diode. The light source emits infrared light at a specific wavelength that
corresponds to the absorp on band of CO2.

Gas Sample Chamber: The gas sample is introduced into a measurement chamber or cell, which
allows the infrared light to pass through it.

Detector: A detector is posi oned on the other side of the gas sample chamber to measure the
intensity of the transmi ed light. The detector detects the remaining infrared light a er it has
passed through the gas sample.

Reference Channel: The analyzer may also include a reference channel that measures the
intensity of light that has not passed through the gas sample. This reference measurement helps
compensate for any varia ons in the light source intensity or other factors that can affect the
measurement.

Signal Processing: The analyzer processes the signals from the detector and reference channel
to determine the absorp on of light by the CO2 molecules in the gas sample. The absorp on
signal is then converted into a CO2 concentra on reading.

NDIR-based CO2 gas analyzers offer several advantages, including high accuracy, stability, and
low sensi vity to other gases present in the sample. They are commonly used in applica ons
such as indoor air quality monitoring, greenhouse gas monitoring, combus on processes, and
industrial emissions control.

When selec ng an NDIR CO2 gas analyzer, important factors to consider include the
measurement range, accuracy, response me, calibra on requirements, data logging
capabili es, and any specific applica on requirements.
