Omron High Precision Air Quality Sensor

Omron B5W-LD0101 High Sensitivity Air Quality Sensor is a high precision air quality/dust sensor capable of detecting 0.5um particles. Omron B5W-LD0101 Air Quality Sensor provides greater airflow intake than previous sensors using an original duct structure that breathes in air stably and effectively. This intake system allows for sampling a greater air volume for more consistent and accurate results. This Omron sensor features a slim 52.3 x 39.3 x 17.6mm (W x H x D) package. The device meets demands for smart home applications in air conditioners and air purifiers.  

Features

  • Detection of particles down to 0.5 μm in diameter is possible while using an LED light source
  • Features a unique flow path structure that efficiently sucks in air
  • Small in size thanks to its compact optical system

Applications

  • Air Purifiers
  • Air Conditioners
  • HVAC Systems

Video

This TTI Tech Specs video for Omron B5W High Precision Air Quality Sensor explains Omron’s B5W-LD0101 is a high precision air quality sensor that can detect particles as small as 0.5 µm, for more accurate sensing of the 2.5µm standard for fine inhalable particles. The sensor uses a unique flow path structure and integrated heater that efficiently generates stable airflow through the sensor, up to six times the airflow of competitors, providing consistent, accurate results.

To the naked eye dust pollution is invisible; however, Omron engineers have been obsessing about this problem and believe they have found a solution. Omron’s B5W-LD0101 is a high precision air quality sensor that can detect particles as small as 0.5 µm, for more accurate sensing of the 2.5µm standard for fine inhalable particles.

The sensor uses a unique flow path structure and integrated heater that efficiently generates stable airflow through the sensor, up to six times the airflow of competitors, providing consistent, accurate results. Particles scatter light between an LED and photodetector, and the sensor uses two integrated signal processing units, each for a pulse output, one is to indicate detected particles larger than 0.5 µm and another for particles larger than 2.5 µm. The sensor features a slim optical design and a compact package to simplify installation, and is ideal for use in air purifiers, air conditioners, and HVAC systems.
