Abstract

In this paper, a portable high efficiency nondispersive infrared(NDIR) $CO_2$ sensor module with a smart device interface is developed. For low power consumption design, an IR LED was used instead of tungsten lamp for light source and an optical waveguide optimized to the sensor module is designed. With the smart device interface, power of the sensor module is applied from the battery of smart phone. The measured data of the sensor module such as $CO_2$ concentration, temperature, and humidity are displayed on the smart phone using android application. From measured results, the developed sensor module shows ${\pm}60ppm$ tolerance error from 0 to 3,000ppm $CO_2$ concentration range among $-10^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ ranges.

본 논문에서는 스마트폰에 장착 가능하고 휴대가 가능한 고효율 NDIR $CO_2$ 센서 모듈을 개발하였다. 저전력 회로 설계를 위하여 텅스텐램프 대신에 적외선 LED를 사용하였으며, 센서 모듈에 최적화된 광도파로를 설계 및 제작하였다. 스마트폰과 인터페이스가 가능한 회로를 통하여 스마트폰의 전원으로 센서 모듈이 구동되도록 설계하였다. $CO_2$ 농도, 온도 및 습도 등 측정된 센서의 데이터는 스마트폰 앱을 통하여 화면에 표시하였다. 측정 결과, 개발된 센서 모듈은 온도$-10^{\circ}C{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 0 ~ 3,000ppm 범위의 $CO_2$ 농도를 측정할 수 있었으며 측정 오차는 ${\pm}60ppm$이내였다.
