Vaisala Releases New Carbon Dioxide and Temperature Transmitters
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
VAISALA CORPORATION PRESS RELEASE
January 13, 2014
The Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon Dioxide and Temperature Transmitter Series GMW80
for demand-controlled ventilation has been released. The GMW80 Series has been
developed to fulfill requirements for CO(2) measurements in standard demand-
controlled ventilation applications. The GMW80 series also includes temperature
measurement as standard. Vaisala's carbon dioxide and temperature transmitters
are used by building automation and integrator companies in order to improve the
efficiency of heating, ventilation and air conditioning in a variety of
locations, ranging from factories to hospitals to office buildings.
Vaisala's carbon dioxide and temperature transmitters feature the second-
generation CARBOCAP® sensor and use the patented Microglow technology for
improved reliability and stability. Microglow is a Vaisala-patented, silicon
MEMS emitter infrared source. This unique low-power, silicon-based infrared
source is manufactured in-house at Vaisala. Using this technology, the
performance of CARBOCAP® sensors has been even further improved.
Installation Time Matters
With modern buildings often having hundreds of sensors, the installation time
per unit can be a significant cost factor. The GMW80 series transmitters include
a number of subtle design features that have been introduced to make
installation and commissioning quick and easy.
Vaisala has also improved the functionalities of the sensor to minimize
maintenance, further helping to reduce costs. The GMW80 series transmitters are
optimized for low maintenance, thanks to the second-generation CARBOCAP® sensor
which enables superior stability. The GMW80 Series also uses Microglow
technology, which represents the latest in infrared technology, leading to lower
power consumption and a longer product lifetime.
The internal reference in the CO(2) sensor guarantees the best stability and
operation even in constantly occupied buildings without readjustments.
As the power consumption is low, the heat generated by the electronics does not
distort the temperature inside the sensor. This improves accuracy for RH+T
measurements in CO(2) instruments. Products with relative humidity measurement
will be included in later releases. Moreover, the sensors' operational life is
increased by the low operating temperatures.
Through simplified design and intelligent optical design fewer components are
required, which help to increase overall reliability of the sensor. The reliable
operation and accurate measurement values of the GMW80 series transmitters
contribute to the significant cost savings brought by demand-controlled
ventilation.
