SMART/AQM – AIR QUALITY MONITOR

IoT-enabled visibility and gas sensor for use in tunnels. The visibility measurement is based on the scattered light principle, the gas measurement is performed with up to 3 electrochemical cells.

Description

Monitoring of air quality – visibility and gases

Visibility and gas monitoring during normal operation is used to control the tunnel ventilation at normal operation. If and with how much power artificial ventilation by jet fans is operated depends on the measured visibility and gas concentration.

Visibility is expressed by the extinc-tion coefficient, which describes the light attenuation caused by particles in the air.

The sensor extracts air from the tunnel by an integrated fan and feeds it into the measuring cell which detects the intensity of light scattered by this sample, sets it into relation with the light passing through and calculates the extinction coefficient.

Optional electrochemical gas sensor cells induce currents proportional to the prevailing gas concentration. With these currents and the measured temperature, the gas sensor modules calculate the gas concentrations.

 

Features:

  • Smart IoT enables visibility and gas sensor
