PORTABLE ANALYZER 

PORTOX

For air quality and breath monitoring

General introduction

Measuring and saving the concentration of toxic gas in air with a portable analyzer is really important. In some office or open air place, may be present relevant quantity of these harmful gas. Particularly if the gas is with no smell and color, as carbon monoxide is, the point is to have an analyzer able to measure in short time and with high accuracy. Moreover results important  to save and safety store  these data.

PORTOX has these least field:

Measure principle 

The principle of operation of the toxic gas sensor is based on electrochemical cells which are micro fuel cells designed to be maintenance-free and stable for long periods. They have a direct response to volume concentration of gas. Gas diffusing into the sensor is either oxidized or reduced at the sensing electrode and, coupled with a corresponding (but converse) counter reaction at the other electrode, a current is generated through the external circuit. A capillary diffusion barrier controls the rate of gas which enters into the sensor, therefore the current generated is proportional to the concentration of gas present outside and gives a direct measure of its concentration.

Analyzer's functions

The analyzer, powered with rechargeable (3 weeks continuous measuring time ) batteries, measures the gas concentration and the value is:

• displayed  on the LCD.

• saved on the internal data-logger.

Data-logger

Connecting your PC to the PORTOX via the serial included cable, you can download the previously registered data, view real time data measured, and setup the data saving (second or minutes frequency and start up time).

Using the dedicated software, included, data should be analyzed both in chart or graphical view.

With simple proper tubing is also possible to measure the chosen gas in the human breath. More than other is the measuring of the carbon dioxide in smokers breath. Knowing how much Co remain in the smokers blood, as Carbon-oxide-Hemoglobin,  should be one of the most important matter in stop smoking.

The analyzer is also provided with a recharger to be powered with 230 Vac.
