Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the toxic air pollution produced in incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels. At a certain threshold of concentration, this gas can harm the environments and affect the human health. Unfortunately, it cannot be detected by humans. In this study, CO gas detection has been designed and constructed using the principle of Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR). An incandescent light bulb is used to provide infrared source. An optical filter based on interferometry with a bandpass of about 4.63 μm is used to pass the light which corresponds to the CO gas absorption. The TPS 334 thermopile sensor is used to measure light intensity after gas absorption. The built-in RTD in the thermopile is involved to compensate the results of the gas concentration measurement. The experimental result shows that this NDIR sensor can measure CO gas concentration with a sensitivity of about 7 mV / ppm.
