Fresh, clean air is vital for maintaining good health. However, inside, it is not long before the air gets stale. The air grows stale when carbon dioxide (CO2) builds up as people breathe. As CO2 concentration rises, there is a…
Figaro and the history of MOS gas sensors Back in 1969 Figaro was founded by Taguchi who developed the first MOS-type gas sensor capable of detecting combustible gases and reducing gases with a simple circuit, the TGS 109 (Taguchi Gas…
E+E Elektronik has a world-class reputation in the sensor industry. We are delighted to announce that they have recently launched a new, improved humidity and temperature sensor that will meet the highest standards in even the most demanding applications and…
Ensuring that fruit and vegetables are at peak ripeness at the time of purchase is a delicate and challenging process. Ripening chambers are required for many fruits to provide the ideal conditions for ripening. Specialised sensors must monitor climatic conditions…
Did you know you must fit a leak detection system if your equipment contains F gas (sometimes referred to as Freon Gas) equivalent to 500 tonnes or more of carbon dioxide? This includes stationary refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps and…
The UK Government, following the Paris Agreement, passed The Climate Change Act intending to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 100% of 1990 levels (net zero) by 2050. The hope is to limit global warming to +1.5 degrees. It’s…
Plant nurseries and farms use greenhouses to enable the all-year-round growth of ornamental and edible plants. To establish and maintain the best conditions, growers must monitor humidity and temperature, but it is also beneficial to use carbon dioxide (CO2) to…
HVAC and air handling systems are made up of complex parts that all contribute to controlling and regulating the local environment. Sensors are required to monitor environmental conditions and send inputs back to the system. Installing accurate sensors is the…
Uses and Health Hazards from Occupational Exposure The concentration of Nitrous Oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere has increased by approximately 20% over the last century compared to previous levels. Around 60% is emitted from natural sources, while the remaining 40%…
Restaurants, pubs, bars, clubs and other hospitality venues require careful monitoring of carbon dioxide (CO2). Hospitality establishments often store CO2 in cylinders or tanks to put the fizz into soft drinks and pump beers. Premises that store CO2 are required…
We are fortunate to be able to buy seasonal fruits and vegetables all year round. Of course, this can only happen if produce can be stored in optimum conditions over many months. Modern technology allows storage rooms to maintain certain…
