Some Theory

Low Cost Air Quality Sensor

Characteristics

  • Sensitivity
  • Proven Accuracy
  • Location
  • Unit? Range of gases, particulates and environmental conditions
  • Secure
  • Credibility
  • Installation and Operation
  • Remote Management
  • High quality

Particle Phase

Larger particles (>0.1 μm)

Possible sensor measurement issues:

  • Particle detection capability – transport of particles to sensor, sensor sensitivity
    • Some use a passive means to move air through sensing region; others have a fan.
  • Signal translation to concentration estimate

Gas Phase

Metal oxide sensors

Possible sensor measurement issues:

  • Interfering gases in mixture
  • Measurement artifact due to temperature and humidity
  • Eventual failure of sensor

Electrochemical sensors

Possible sensor measurement issues:

  • Interfering gases in mixture
  • Measurement artifact due to temperature and humidity
  • Eventual failure of sensor

Photoionization sensors

Possible sensor measurement issues:

  • Baseline drift
  • Eventual failure of sensor based on lamp lifetime.
