Abstract

Abstract

Increasing carbon dioxide (CO₂) exacerbated the greenhouse effect, which threatened human normal lives. Currently, the equipment used for CO₂ monitoring is heavy and expensive. Therefore, the study designed a portable CO₂ detector based on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) optical absorption principles. Considering on-site monitoring, the sensor was susceptible to the interference of relative humidity (RH). Therefore, the effect of RH on the response of the sensor was studied, and the response characteristics of the sensor at different RH levels were understood. Through the combination of concentration and humidity changes, the correlation (R²) of the secondary function of the correlation was above 0.94. Through continuous outdoor monitoring and comparison with the standard reference instruments, it was found that there was a better correlation between the calibrated data and the standard reference instrument, with R² increasing from 0.62 to 0.73 before calibration, to 0.83 to 0.97. The cluster analysis of sensors can greatly reduce the error caused by individual differences in sensors, thus improving the accuracy of data. It was found that through analysis of multiple sensor data combinations, the average relative deviation decreased with the increase in the number of sensors, and the minimum average relative deviation was only 1.4%.
