Opto-Electronic Ammonia-Sensor: Application Information

The document describes an ammonia sensor that was developed using modular micro-optical components. The sensor principle relies on measuring the change in spectral absorption of an immobilized dye when exposed to ammonia. Test results show the sensor has a quasi-linear measurement range of 20-200 ppm for ammonia, with low influence from relative humidity. The micro-components allow for easy servicing and integration of additional sensors.

Ammonia-Sensor
Application Information
LED

The measurement of ammonia emissions e.g. in


agriculture or refrigeration technology requires
reliable online-measuring systems. Using modular
components designed for micro-optical reflexion/
remission sensors (MORES), a suitable ammonia
sensor was developed.

LED

The sensor principle is based on the change in the


spectral absorption of an immobilized dye.
The micro-components are easy to service and, by
integrating further sensors, allow the measurement
and compensation of cross parameters.
