Murata’s non-dispersive infra-red (NDIR) CO2 sensors are implemented in such a way, according to the firm, to retain calibration regardless of any degradation that may occur over time in the IR light source, optical path or IR sensor. Inside, an IR beam is focussed to pass through any gases present, including CO2. After passing through ...
