Gas Sensing Solutions (GSS) launched a new range of methane gas sensors to market at Sensor + Test 2022 in Nuremberg (May 10-12).

Gas Sensing Solutions has launched a new Sensor Evaluation Board to market. The SEB allows users to easily assess the performance of a GSS CO2 Sensor in real-time while assessing the suitability for their application with no need to write software in advance.

Gas Sensing Solutions, a pioneer in solid-state gas sensors, has launched a new ultra-low-power CO₂ sensor. The CozIR-LP3 includes on-board power management, allowing the user to control sensor power consumption during measurements and when the sensor is inactive. The user can reduce active current consumption to <1µA without switching off the sensor.

All GSS CO2 sensors use a technique called non‐ dispersive infra‐red (NDIR) sensing where light is injected into the optical measurement chamber, which contains the gas of interest. The light that passes through the optical cavity is detected by the photo diode. The signal from the photo‐diode is digitised by the microcontroller and compared with a reference level stored in memory.  The microcontroller can then calculate the level of C...

Gas Sensing Solutions has launched a new high-speed CO₂ sensor. The SprintIR-R takes a reading every 20 milliseconds, making it amongst the fastest solid-state CO2 sensors available today.

The IoT is creating many new exciting application opportunities to create smart environments where sensors monitor for changes so that the appropriate actions can be taken. The fastest growing examples of this are HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning), IAQ (Indoor Air Quality), smart homes and smart offices where a network of sensors monitors temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels to ensure the optimal conditionals are maintained w...

Ever wondered why long car journeys make you feel tired and sleepy? Is it the boredom of endless, never changing motorways or perhaps something else? Gas Sensing Solutions, wondered if it could be a build-up of CO2 gas because, at levels of 1,000ppm and above, people can become drowsy and lethargic. So they took a CO2 datalogger from their gas sensor range on a road trip to find out how CO2 levels changed throughout the journey.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a suitable fire suppressor for many applications, because apart from actual fire damage, there is no clean-up or residue associated with a CO2 system - unlike with foaming agents or water. When a fire starts, high pressure CO2 is released into the area it is protecting. Carbon dioxide gas displaces the oxygen until there is no longer enough required for combustion. The fire can then be controlled or extinguished.

To see how the levels of CO2 changed on different modes of transport throughout the journey, Gas Sensing Solutions (GSS), took a CO2 datalogger on a business trip from Scotland to Asia. Surprised by how high levels were on occasions, GSS has decided to do further investigations in other locations to see how CO2 levels vary in the real world.

CO2Meter is a business specialising in the design and manufacture of gas detection and monitoring devices - mainly CO2. The company is a long term partner of Gas Sensing Solutions and has been using and supplying their next-gen, LED-based CO2 sensors at the heart of its range of CO2 detection devices. These range from level controllers to alarms and data loggers. It has recently extended its range of CO2 alarms with the addition of a version that...

Gas Sensing Solutions (GSS) has announced that it is targeting the growing market of CO2 refrigeration systems with its CO2 sensors. A century ago, CO2 was commonly used as a refrigerant, but had practically disappeared by the 1950s with the use of other gases such as HVFC, CFC and HFC. The air conditioning and refrigeration industry has now been urged to move to more 'natural' refrigerants like CO2, with the onset of huge pri...

  Gas Sensing Solutions (GSS) has announced it will be exhibiting at Sensor Expo Japan 2018 with its Japanese partner, GEC. They will be on booth S32 in East Hall of Tokyo Big Sight from 26th-28th September 2018.

  Gas Sensing Solutions (GSS) has announced that it will be exhibiting at Sensor China Expo 2018. The company will be on Booth B004 in the Overseas Pavilion from 10th-12th September 2018 and supported by a number of its Chinese partners.

Gas Sensing Solutions (GSS) is helping to solve a challenge with laboratory incubator applications. Incubators are typically used to grow bacteria and micro-organisms, and to culture cells and tissues for research and clinical purposes. The incubator's job is to help mimic a cell's natural environment and provide stable conditions for safe, reliable study.

  As part of its on going commitment to quality, Gas Sensing Solutions (GSS) is now certified to the ISO 9001:2015 standard for the manufacturing of its solid state CO2 sensors. As part of this, and to meet the growing demand for its products, the company has doubled the size of its production facilities and office space.

The innovative CO2 sensing technology that has been developed by Gas Sensing Solutions (GSS) is aiming to play a key role in a UK Government funded research programme to improve aircraft cabin air quality.

Did you know Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is used to prolong the shelf life of fruits, vegetables and salads with a specific level of CO2 to keep the produce fresher for longer? The optimal level varies widely according to the product. On the production line, sample packs are taken at regular intervals and the CO2 levels checked by inserting a hollow needle into the pack and drawing out a sample of the gases for analysis.

  All around the world, recreational diving is enjoyed by a variety of people and diving with rebreather equipment is booming. Rebreather technology recirculates the air, removes the CO2 and tops up the oxygen level. As a result, a small tank of air and a small tank of oxygen is all that is needed, rather than big tanks of compressed air.

The remote world of the IoT and building management systems (BMS) involves the connectivity of autonomous devices which require little or no maintenance - hence the term "Fit and Forget". These "lonely" devices often consist of sensor/actuator functions that need power. The use of replaceable batteries or the provision of mains power is often not ideal due to location, cost and increasingly, user preference.
