Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology involves the optical measurement of gas concentration in the target application using infrared (IR) light and IR absorption wavelength band. In this, the IR light emitted by the IR source is absorbed by the molecules of the gas under measurement at a particular wavelength. A NDIR sensor has an IR source, optical filter, and IR detector. It measures the amount of IR light of specific wavelength that is absorbed by the surrounding air; this is used to calculate the concentration of that gas in the surrounding air. Small in size, with no moving parts, these sensors have a long lifespan. They are ideal for measuring the concentration of gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, refrigerant gases, acetylene, ethylene, anesthetic gases, and carbon monoxide. NDIR sensors are being increasingly used by industrial and manufacturing end-users.
