Because indoor air quality environments need to monitor for CO, CO2, and O2 – the combination found in the CM-505: Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen Handheld 4 gas meter Detector is ideal. Because of features like the large LCD display, audible alarms, data logging capabilities, and multi-gas functionality, the GasLab Plus® serves as “go-to” gas detection solution for many customers. Especially so, during the pandemic in providing individuals with proper monitoring to ensure air filtration and create a healthier living space.
Overall, indoor enclosed spaces such as homes, offices, classrooms, and gymnasiums are always looking to provide energy efficiency and reduce wear and tear on HVAC systems. The added benefit of installing a CO2 monitor specifically can improve cognitive abilities, promote energy efficiency, and reduce airborne illnesses. One fixed gas detector commonly sought after is the CO2, Temp, and RH Indoor Air Quality Monitor.
See our Carbon Dioxide (CO2) classification guide for indoor air recommended levels.
Indoor Agriculture
For many indoor growers, farmers, and cultivators using gas detection in their field is critical to further maximize plant yields and increase crop productivity. Carbon Dioxide is the key to furthering crop yields and our Dual Indoor CO2 Grow Controller is often the preferred gas detector solution for those looking into further optimizing their grow space.
Just as control is an added benefit to indoor growers, gas safety is just as important and this application also utilizes gas safety detectors in order to detect higher than normal CO2 concentrations and warn growers of potential dangers. Equipped with both a main sensor unit and a remote display, a fixed gas safety detector is typically installed in the grow space where the inert gas source point is located.
Poultry and Livestock
When it comes to poultry and livestock applications, both Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Ammonia (NH3) are considered key pollutants. For farmers, being able to gain analysis of higher concentrations in animal barns can provide understanding of the health of animals and the workers. In turn, providing knowledge to better ventilate the space, increase healthier environment for staff, and promote productivity in the livestock.
In order to better gauge NH3 and CO2 concentrations in indoor environmental conditions such as poultry farms, the (CM-507) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Ammonia (NH3) Gas Detector is used.
Scientific and Medical
With the use of many inert gases in incubation and life science environments, technicians require complete analysis of carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) specifically in research processes. Because oxygen is used as an essential component for cell growth combined with carbon dioxide for embryo development, measuring both of these inert gases is critical for controlling pH.
By using our multi gas sampling data logger researchers are able to maintain the specific environments that are needed for cultures at about 20% O2 and 5-7% CO2. With the explosion of incubation use, especially in fighting diseases like Covid-19, gas detection and analysis will only continue to be an important tool to further advancements.
Pest Abatement
This application includes individuals or businesses looking to inject gas into a confined space to drive out or euthanize pests, rodents, bed bugs, roaches, or even prairie dogs. By driving in large volumes of high concentration CO2 the pests are driven from the space – or they die. The CM-1000 Multi Gas Sampling Data Logger is utilized to determine the precise high levels of CO2 as well as the depletion of oxygen in the space to maximize the process.
Over the years, CO2Meter has worked alongside many companies and scenarios where pest abatement or control is vital – such as on commercial aircraft. With the temporary “mothballing” of commercial aviation fleets due to Covid-19 many fleet maintenance teams are ramping up efforts to service aircraft including pest abatement. Not only can inert gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) be a more cost effective means of euthanasia, the gas can also provide an efficient means of abatement without damaging any of the flight controls during the process.
Fire Suppression Testing
For those in fire suppression applications, using a gas detector or multi-gas detector includes the critical component necessary in this field – which is a micropump. This pump is able to simultaneously measure multiple gas concentrations through a single sampling port. To further accommodate customers in need of testing their CO2 fire suppression systems CO2Meter uniquely designs the CM-1000 to NFPA 12 standards which requires testing at low, medium, and high points within the space at specific rates.
The 100% Carbon Dioxide Sampling Data Logger is the only device manufactured that meet these requirements. In addition, the suppression system must reach and hold specific CO2 concentrations over a given period of time making the 100% model of the multi gas monitor series, a necessity in this environment.
Customers wanting to monitor oxygen depletion in the environment may also add a 0-25% oxygen sensor to measure and log this additional data.
