What are the main application areas of carbon dioxide gas detectors?
1. Industry: In industrial production, especially in scenarios involving wastewater treatment, production safety, and underground operations, carbon dioxide concentration needs to be monitored. Carbon dioxide gas detectors are also commonly used in CO2-related occupations such as metal processing, pulp and paper manufacturing, cleaning and solvent extraction, and cryogenic cleaning.
2. Agriculture: Carbon dioxide is an important factor in plant photosynthesis. Therefore, in the agricultural field, appropriate carbon dioxide concentration can increase crop yields. When the carbon dioxide concentration is insufficient, air fertilizer can be used to supplement it, which is very helpful for the growth of vegetable plants and the increase of vegetable yields.
3. Public places: In crowded places, such as conference rooms, classrooms, exhibition halls, hospitals, shopping malls, bars, restaurants, airports, train stations, entertainment halls, etc., carbon dioxide detectors can be installed for ventilation control and environmental quality. Monitoring is used to protect people's health.
4. Scientific research, medicine and other fields: In scientific research, medicine and other fields, carbon dioxide gas detectors can measure respiratory function, or measure O2 and CO2 concentrations during the preservation and controlled atmosphere storage of vegetables, grains, tobacco, and fruits. .
Application of carbon dioxide gas detector in breeding industry
Carbon dioxide is odorless, non-irritating to the skin and not easily detectable by the human body. Carbon dioxide is denser than air. When there is less carbon dioxide, it is not harmful to the human body. However, when it exceeds a certain amount, it will affect the breathing of humans (and other organisms as well). The reason is that the carbonic acid concentration in the blood increases, the acidity increases, and acidosis occurs. This is why it is necessary to use a carbon dioxide gas detector. So how is the concentration standard of carbon dioxide defined?
1: When the volume fraction of carbon dioxide in the air is 1%, you feel stuffy, dizzy, and palpitation;
2: Feeling dizzy at 4%-5%.
3: When it exceeds 6%, it will cause confusion, breathing will gradually stop, and death will occur.
During the livestock and poultry breeding process, due to the excessive density of livestock and poultry in the house, the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced during the breathing process seriously exceeds the standard. Carbon dioxide is excreted by the respiration of livestock and has a large specific proportion, so the concentration is higher in the lower part of the livestock house and around the animal carcass. Although carbon dioxide itself is not toxic, high concentrations of carbon dioxide can reduce the oxygen content in the air, causing hypoxia and chronic poisoning.
Domestic animals exposed to this hypoxic environment for a long time will show signs of lethargy, loss of appetite, slower weight gain, reduced physical fitness, productivity, and disease resistance, and are particularly susceptible to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. According to experimental reports, domestic animals containing 4% Breathing becomes tight in carbon dioxide air, and coma occurs in 10% of cases.
In fact, the carbon dioxide in the air of livestock houses in livestock farms rarely reaches the level of causing poisoning or chronic poisoning of livestock. The hygienic significance of carbon dioxide in the air of livestock buildings is that it indicates the ventilation status of the livestock buildings and the degree of air pollution. When levels of carbon dioxide increase, levels of other harmful gases may also increase. Therefore, carbon dioxide concentration is often used as a reliable indicator of air pollution levels.
