Second, how to choose the right dust monitoring sensor?

When selecting a suitable dust monitoring sensor, a number of factors need to be considered to ensure the effectiveness and adaptability of the monitoring system. Here are some key points to consider:

1. Accuracy of monitoring requirements:

   - For particulate matter sensors (e.g. PM2.5/PM10): choose a sensor with high accuracy, such as a laser scattering type, to ensure data accuracy. For scientific research or strict regulatory needs, consider certified products such as TSI, DUSTtrak series.

2. Environmental Adaptability:

   - Ensure that the sensor is stable under the expected environmental conditions. For example, industrial grade sensors should be able to withstand extreme temperature and humidity changes.

3. Gas monitoring specificity:

   - Select gas sensors based on the contaminants that may be present. For example, a chemical plant may need to monitor specific VOCs, while urban areas are more concerned with SO2 and NOx.

4. temperature, humidity and meteorological parameters:

   - Choose temperature and humidity sensors with fast response times and high accuracy, as well as meteorological sensors that can accurately measure wind speed and direction, as these parameters affect dust dispersion.

5. Linkage control function:

   - If the system needs to be linked with dust reduction equipment such as fog guns, make sure the sensors support real-time output and fast response.

6. Data transmission and compatibility:

   - Select sensors that support wireless data transmission (e.g. LoRa, 4G/5G, Wi-Fi) for remote monitoring and data integration.

7. maintenance and cost:

   - Consider the maintenance cost and service life of the sensor. Long-term operational stability is as important as ease of maintenance.

8. Certification and Compliance:

   - Verify that the sensor meets national or regional environmental standards and certification requirements, such as CE, FCC, or specific environmental agency certifications.

9. Supplier support and service:

   - Choose a supplier with good technical support and after-sales service in order to get the necessary help in installation, commissioning and subsequent use.

10. Integration and Expandability:

    - Ensure that the selected sensors are easy to integrate into existing or planned monitoring systems and have expansion capabilities to accommodate future needs.

By comprehensively evaluating these factors, you can ensure that the selected sensor not only meets the current monitoring needs, but also to adapt to possible future changes, so as to build an efficient and reliable dust monitoring system.
