Shortening the Timo to a Stable Measurement

Chicago,, Some analyzers using non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy techniques can take a long time to reach temperature stability in the system.  Often it is because there is an inefficient IR source that is conducting significant thermal energy to the entire mechanical assembly that has a long thermal time constant. more

Improving the Performance of NDIR Gas Sensors

Chicago, Many times OEMs find themselves having to deal with the performance problems with their NDIR Gas Sensors:

  • High power consumption
  • Fragile optical system
  • Not enough opticaleEnergy on the IR detector
  • IR source emission drift
  • It takes too long to get to a stable measurement
  • Not enough temperature modulation at the detector
  • Low reliability

Reducing IR Source Emission Drift

Chigago, One concern of NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) Gas Sensors is that emission drift of the IR source can be the cause for measurement error and force a re-calibration event. This can be cause by a change in the resistance of the device AND/OR a change in the surface emissivity. more

Reducing Power Consumption in NDIR Gas Sensors

Chicago, Reducing power consumption in non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensors allows you to attain at least one of the following benefits:

  • Reduced power electronics costs
  • Longer operation with batteries
  • Reduced size/weight of batteries
Today, the first round of improvements has come from using more efficient instrumentation electronics and determining operating modes that reduce the time the power-hungry IR source is turned ON. more

Nov 4, 2010 Axetris presents its extended product portfolio of MEMS based infrared sources.
  The IR source is a blackbody emitter, based on a MEMS chip. Its main characteristics are rugged design, high emissivity (0.95), low power consumption and long lifetime (>10 years). The high modulation speed of up to 100 Hz is achieved due to the low thermal mass of the MEMS chip. more
