Dräger PID
Designed for use with the Dräger X-am 7000. The DrägerSensor Smart PID is a transducer for measuring the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere according to the photo-ionization by ultraviolet radiation principle. In the sensor's measuring cell the molecules are ionized by ultraviolet light. The resulting positive and negative loaded ions are attracted by a pair of oppositely loaded electrodes. If a voltage is applied between these electrodes, it is possible to measure a current, which is proportional to the concentration of ions and thus to the concentration of the VOCs. Photo-ionization is a non-gas specific method for the detection of volatile organic compounds. All molecules with an ionization potential (IP) smaller than the energy of the UV lamp (10.6 eV) are ionized and thus contribute to the measurement signal.
