New advances in non-dispersive IR technology for CO2 detectionThis paper discusses new technology developments in CO2 detection using Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) techniques. The method described has successfully been used in various applications and environments. It has exhibited extremely reliable long-term stability without the need of routine calibration. The analysis employs a dual wavelength, differential detection approach with compensating circuitry for component aging and dirt accumulation on optical surfaces. The instrument fails 'safe' and provides the operator with a 'fault' alarm in the event of a system failure. The NDIR analyzer described has been adapted to NASA Space Station requirements.
