|  Carbon Dioxide Emissions
The gas detector tube is designed to warn you, your family, friends and work colleagues of the dangers created by carbon dioxide emissions.
Carbon dioxide is a colourless, odourless chemical compound. It is an extremely poisonous gas that is less dense than air under ordinary conditions. It is very slightly soluble in water and burns in air with a characteristic blue flame. It is a component of producer gas and water gas, which are widely used artificial fuels. It is a reducing agent, removing oxygen from many compounds. Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are often used in blast furnaces to reduce metals such as iron. At high pressures and elevated temperatures it reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to form methanol.
The gas detector tube is especially beneficial for those who work in the car trade. The motor vehicle engine emits many types of pollutants including nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, particulates, sulphur dioxide and lead.emissions of such pollutants may lead to poor air quality, posing environmental and health risks. Individually, a vehicle engine is not a particularly important source of pollution. Collectively however, they represent a major source of air pollutants in most developed countries. To measure the carbon dioxide emissions in your area or the carbon dioxide emissions from your car or collection of cars, our gas detector tube is the perfect tool.
Carbon dioxide emissions are related to the engine, mainly the fuel type and the temperature of the fuel combustion. If the engine is efficient, then the products of combustion will be mainly carbon dioxide and water. However, at low speeds idling engines are inefficient and therefore the products of incomplete combustion dominate, for example carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds from petrol engines and carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, particulates and smoke from diesel engines. As the temperature of combustion increases, the efficiency of conversion to carbon dioxide and water increases. However, impurities in the fuel such as nitrogen are oxidised to nitrogen dioxide. At high temperatures atmospheric nitrogen is also oxidised to nitrogen dioxide.
A volume of any gas at the same temperature and pressure contains the same number of molecules no matter what the gas is. This means that measuring gas by volume is very convenient. In higher levels, gas is measured as a percentage and in lower levels it is measured by parts per million (ppm). Our gas detection tube is advanced and highly accurate.
With the gas detector tube, your company could join the new revolution in gas detection. Take the safe option and invest in the carbon dioxide emissions detector. We are the one stop for your gas detector tube.
