Analyser Measures CO2 at High Pressures

A new sophisticated gas analyzer that measure carbon dioxide (CO2) under pressure extremes has been developed by Sensor Electronics (USA).
CO2 dilutes explosive concentrations of ethylene oxide (EtO) in, for example medical equipment sterilizers and research laboratories. (EtO is both toxic and extremely flammable). Because of inter molecular energy transfer between EtO and CO2 (and nitrogen, oxygen, H2O) under pressure, accurate CO2 measurement is virtually impossible. Unlike erratic readings with conventional CO2 detectors, this new analyzer ignores the transient extreme to give precise CO2 measurement through the cycle.
The analyzer uses twin source-to-sensor pulsating infrared beams, thus eliminating mirrors/lenses/splitters, and problem with dust, dirt, condensation, contamination and misalignment. It also shrugs off temperature and humidity extremes. Self-correction circuitry means the analyzer can work for years without fussy adjustment or recalibration.
The analyzer even keeps a watchful eye on itself, flashing immediate warning of any internal problems, then spelling out what wrong where. The unit Link up with printers, plotters, loggers and computer to make a permanent record of fast-changing CO2 values
