Common CO2 Wiring Issues - Telaire Application Note

Telaire Application Spotlight | Automotive CO2 In-Cabin Sensing for Energy Reduction - Application Spotlight

The increasing use of batteries in vehicles has heightened the need to preserve energy to improve range and fuel consumption. As a major consumer of energy, a vehicle’s air conditioning (A/C) system can contribute to range reduction, so if the vehicle can automatically reduce the use of its A/C system, range will be extended. Learn more about how this can easily be achieved with a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Sensor.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Combustion Sensing - Telaire Application Note

Carbon dioxide is one of the most plentiful by products of the combustion process used by automobiles, trucks and fuel-fired appliances. For properly operated and maintained equipment CO2 will be produced in quantities 100 times or greater any other combustion byproduct considered harmful, including carbon monoxide, hexane, nitric oxide or nitrogen dioxide. This article shows a breakdown of the by-products of combustion by volume (in ppm) for an automobile at idle.
