In recent years, with the increasing demand for industrial safety, environmental monitoring and smart home, gas detection technology has also developed rapidly. Among them, low-power infrared methane sensors have become the "star product" in the field of methane detection due to their high precision, low power consumption and long life. Today, let's talk about this cool technology and see how it protects our safety!

1. What is a low-power infrared methane sensor?

   
   

A low-power infrared methane sensor is a gas detection device based on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology, specifically used to detect the concentration of methane (CH₄) gas. It uses the principle of infrared light absorption to accurately measure the methane content, and has ultra-low power consumption characteristics, making it very suitable for scenarios that require long-term operation or battery power.

2. How does it work?

Simply put, its working principle can be divided into three steps:

Emitting infrared light:The infrared light source built into the sensor emits infrared light of a specific wavelength.

Gas absorption:Methane gas has a strong absorption effect on infrared light of a specific wavelength, and the amount of absorption is proportional to the methane concentration.

Detection and analysis: The detector in the sensor detects the change in light intensity after passing through the gas, and calculates the methane concentration through an algorithm.

This technology is not only highly accurate, but also unaffected by oxygen concentration, and is suitable for various complex environments.
