News — Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Portable gas space heaters produce high levels of carbon dioxide. While not normally harmful, too much CO2 in an enclosed space can make you feel sick.

Graduate student uses our K-33 CO2 sensor to study the NOx-PM tradeoff in modern deisel engine design.

  Modern 4-stroke gasoline engines are precision instruments compared to even models a few years ago. Today’s engines are designed to maximize power and gas mileage while minimizing harmful exhaust gases, especially carbon monoxide and sulfur oxides. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that engine diagnosticians now use shop-grade gas analyzers to test the exhaust gases coming from a car. In fact, we have customers who are using meters like our 0-25% CO2 Sampling Data Logger with our extreme moisture filter to allow direct measurement. The chemistry of internal combustion is simple: hydrocarbons (gasoline), oxygen and nitrogen (air) are...
