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.
