Carbon dioxide (CO₂) measurement and control

Anka Sense measures carbon dioxide from 0 to 10,000 ppm with NDIR sensors and automatically runs ventilation, heating, cooling and humidification to the target you set. Monitor the values on your phone and get an instant alert when a limit is crossed.

Why CO₂ measurement matters

In enclosed production sites, the carbon dioxide (CO₂) level directly determines yield and product quality. Greenhouse plants need enough CO₂ for photosynthesis; every stage of mushroom growing has its own CO₂ target; in poultry houses, high carbon dioxide is the first sign that more ventilation is needed; in cold stores, the CO₂ balance affects shelf life. In offices, rising CO₂ shows the air is getting stale.

Greenhouse

Optimum CO₂ for photosynthesis; CO₂ dosing starts automatically when the level drops.

Mushroom Farms

2,000–5,000 ppm for mycelium growth, 800–1,200 ppm for fruiting: you set the target and the device keeps the room there.

Poultry houses

Ventilation follows the real CO₂ level, so no fuel is wasted.

Cold storage

Round-the-clock monitoring of the CO₂ and humidity balance, with alarms.

Ofis ve iç mekân

Ventilation switches on automatically when the CO₂ threshold is crossed.

A CO₂ controller that does more than measure

Conventional carbon dioxide meters only display a value. Anka Sense S runs your equipment itself based on the CO₂, temperature and humidity it measures; you just set the targets.

NDIR CO₂ sensor

0–10,000 ppm measuring range, temperature compensation, high accuracy and stability, and a life of over 5 years.

Frequently asked questions

How is carbon dioxide (CO₂) measured?

Anka Sense sensor kits use NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) measurement: CO₂ molecules absorb infrared light at a specific wavelength, and the sensor converts that absorption into a carbon dioxide concentration in ppm. The method is fast, stable and long-lasting.

What is the measuring range?

The sensor kits measure carbon dioxide from 0 to 10,000 ppm, and temperature compensation keeps the output linear and stable as conditions change.

What is the difference between a CO₂ meter and a CO₂ controller?

A meter only displays the value. Anka Sense S also uses its 4 relay outputs to run ventilation, heating, cooling and humidification automatically based on carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity.

What CO₂ level should I aim for?

It depends on the application: in mushroom growing, for example, values such as 2,000–5,000 ppm are used during mycelium growth and 800–1,200 ppm during fruiting. On Anka Sense S you set the target and alarm thresholds for each parameter.

How long does the sensor last?

The NDIR CO₂ sensor lasts more than 5 years and uses little power. For humid sites we recommend the Anka Sense Kit-1, protected by a plastic seal and cable gland.
