CARBON DIOXIDE SENSOR |

| To maintain a healthy environment in an enclosed vehicular facility, install the carbon dioxide sensor to start the exhaust fans and open fresh air dampers when the CO concentration rises to prescribed levels, normally 25 or 35 PPM based on local building codes. By using demand-based ventilation control you can save up to 70% of the energy costs when compared to running the fans full time, especially in hot or cold climates where heating or cooling is an added expense. |

In a typical enclosed parking garage, one carbon dioxide sensor may be used to cover up to 10,000 sq. ft. (900 m2) of clear open space. Practical considerations such as an irregularly shaped space, the intrusion of divisions for elevators and stairs and ramping may require the installation of additional sensors. The carbon dioxide sensor should be located at breathing height between 4-6 feet off the floor (1.2m-1.8m). Sensors for Diesel fumes (NO2), hydrogen, methane and ammonia should be located near the ceiling. Please consult with Acme’s technical personnel who will assist you with sensor layout and recommend the proper height for the installation of the carbon dioxide sensor types selected. The CO2-2000 Carbon Dioxide Sensor Controller is designed to provide HVAC systems with an economical means of controlling outdoor makeup air to maintain indoor air quality and reduce the cost of heating or cooling the building environment. Common applications of this carbon dioxide sensor include monitoring air quality in large indoor areas like auditoriums and gymnasiums, or installation in the return air of rooftop air handling units for fresh air damper modulation. |
The carbon dioxide sensor (CO2) signal shall be used as inputs to the ventilation control system, which shall be adjustable to operate outdoor air ventilation dampers such that the indoor air CO2 level does not exceed 1000 PPM. This carbon dioxide sensor system is designed for return air duct sampling, installation in rooftop air handling units or dirty indoor environments where a simple, wall mounted CO2 transmitter will not stand up to the environment and be damaged or contaminated. |
