5NF Electrochemical Nitric Oxide (NO) Gas Sensor For Environmental Monitoring Industrial Safety
General Overview:
The 5NF adopts a reliable three-electrode electrochemical design, optimized for sensitive and stable detection of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂)—a toxic gas emitted from industrial processes, vehicle exhaust, and combustion systems. It delivers a linear current output proportional to NO₂ concentration, with minimal cross-interference from common background gases. Packaged in City Technology’s standard 5-series form factor, it offers excellent compatibility with most gas detection device housings, making it suitable for both fixed and portable monitoring equipment.
Key Features:
- High Selectivity for NO₂: Optimized electrode and electrolyte formulation minimizes interference from gases like CO, H₂, and SO₂, ensuring accurate NO₂ measurement in complex environments.
- Zero Bias Operation: Requires no external bias voltage, simplifying circuit design and reducing power consumption for portable devices.
- Stable Three-Electrode Design: Reduces polarization and zero drift, enhancing long-term reliability for continuous monitoring applications.
- Compact & Compatible: Standard 5-series package fits most gas detector enclosures, enabling easy replacement or integration.
- Wide Environmental Adaptability: Performs reliably across a broad temperature and humidity range, suitable for indoor/outdoor industrial and environmental use.
Typical Applications:
- Environmental Monitoring: Urban air quality stations, vehicle exhaust detection, and industrial emission monitoring to comply with NO₂ pollution regulations.
- Industrial Safety: Chemical plants, power stations, and manufacturing facilities (where combustion processes generate NO₂) to protect workers from toxic exposure.
- Portable Gas Detectors: Handheld safety devices for maintenance personnel, environmental inspectors, and emergency responders.
- Fixed Gas Alarm Systems: Permanent installations in warehouses, production areas, and urban infrastructure to trigger alarms at unsafe NO₂ concentrations.
- Analytical Instruments: Laboratory equipment and gas chromatography systems for precise NO₂ concentration measurement.
