Abstract:
A system and method for mitigating airborne contamination in a conditioned indoor environment utilizes one or more sensing modules configured to detect presence and/or concentration of particles and/or aerosols at different locations. A control module employs an artificial intelligence algorithm to selectively activate at least one mitigation module utilizing machine learning programmed rules and output signals from the sensing module(s). The mitigation module(s) are configured to take one or more actions to reduce presence and/or concentration of particles and/or aerosols in the conditioned indoor environment.
Abstract:
A CO2 detection chamber includes a gas inlet and a gas outlet. A CO2 sensor is housed in the CO2 detection chamber, where the sensor includes a reversible and selective pH-sensitive nanocomposite sensor element for CO2 detection, and a hydrophobic surface. A flowmeter, a thermistor and a humidity sensor operate to read flow and compensate for humidity conditions. A light source is coupled to receive signals from the CO2 sensor and respond to color changes in the sensor by transducing the color change into a light intensity change. A photodiode receives signals from the light source and responds to light intensity changes by transducing the light intensity changes into electronic signals representing varying degrees of light intensity. Data representing CO2 measurements is transmitted for display to a mobile device.
