General Information on NO – Nitric oxide
Nitrogen monoxide (NO) is a colorless and odorless gas. It is formed during combustion processes of natural gas, crude oil and coal. In the ambient air, it reacts very quickly to form NO2, which is why the total value NOx is often given. Medically, nitric oxide has a dilating effect on blood vessels and is used for therapeutic purposes. It is approved as a pharmaceutical and is added to the air we breathe up to a concentration of 20 ppm.
Gas Sensors for the Detection of NO
- Innovative NDUV Sensor (non-dispersive ultraviolet sensor)
- Max. 2 simultaneously detectable gases per sensor unit
- Measuring ranges from ppm to Vol.-%
- Innovative UVRAS Sensor (UV resonance absorption spectroscopy)
- Max. 3 simultaneously detectable gases per sensor unit
- Combination of UVRAS and NDUV technology
RITTER »MultiGas« Combined Modules NDIR + NDUV
RITTER »MultiGas« Modules can also be a combination of both NDIR sensors and NDUV sensors on a common board. With this unit, up to 3 gas components can be measured simultaneously. The basic electronics can supply IR and UV radiation sources with different frequencies for 0 Hz (DC) to 100 Hz (AC). This system is an ideal tool for detecting multi-component gas at low ppm levels.
Please note: For technical and chemical reasons, not every combination of gases/measuring ranges can be analyzed/measured in a single or combined RITTER »MultiGas« module. As this is a rather complex topic, please do not hesitate to contact one of our gas experts first.
