Anatomy of a fake CO2 sensor


Recommended Posts

None of this would stop me using CO2 extinguishers. Just don't hang around too long in the room which you try to seal to make it more effective. or hold it by the bit (shroud) where the gas comes out as it freezes. Nev

CO detectors I understand. But what are CO2 detectors used for?

 

CO2 detectors have become popular to help assess ventilation and therefore COVID risk.

 

Indoors in crowded places (or even badly ventilated workplaces and schools) CO2 levels can get quite high.

 

If CO2 level is e.g. 600ppm ventilation is pretty good. However CO2 levels approaching 2000ppm are not uncommon, which means you are breathing in a lot of what other people are breathing out.
