\"\"Pandemic and infection alarms are going off everywhere you look \u2013 how often can, should or must classrooms, waiting rooms and meeting rooms be ventilated? An recommendation often heard is about every 20\u00a0minutes. But is that really enough? Is that too little ventilation, too much or just right? The BZ30\u00a0CO\u2082 air quality data logger delivers clarity here, because its alarm function warns you if it detects an increased concentration of CO\u2082. \u00a0Schools, offices and private households thereby receive an indication of potentially inadequate ventilation management, which brings with it a potentially increased risk of infection.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The increased concentration of CO\u2082 in areas with a high number of people is \u2013 among other things \u2013 responsible for disturbances in concentration and sleep, and allergic reactions. \u00a0In addition, CO\u2082 concentrations much more than or consistently above 1,000\u00a0ppm indicate insufficient ventilation \u2013 and a potentially increased risk of coronavirus infection. \u00a0This applies not only to ventilation through windows, but also to the operation of ventilation systems. With the BZ30<\/strong><\/a>, you can reliably monitor indoor air quality, because the CO\u2082 air quality data logger records not only the current carbon dioxide concentration, but also the air temperature and relative humidity of the indoor air. The BZ30<\/strong><\/a> also has a carbon dioxide alarm function with a warning signal for limit values which you can set yourself. This is your last warning to cry out “Open the window!”<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works<\/h3>\n

The large backlit display of the BZ30<\/strong><\/a>, with its easy-to-read measurement display allows the CO\u2082 value, room temperature, humidity, date and time to be displayed simultaneously. \u00a0The additional CO\u2082 symbol indicator display, comparable with a CO\u2082 traffic light, provides additional security at first sight in addition to the minimum and maximum value function for CO\u2082, air temperature and even air humidity readings. Controlling air humidity is extremely important. Scientists emphasise that a relative humidity of 40 to 60\u00a0percent reduces the spread of viruses and their absorption through the nasal mucosa. This is because the aerosols cannot shrink as quickly and tend to sink to the ground in heavy drops.<\/p>\n

Because the device also has a large data memory for 50,000\u00a0measured values for long-term recording, it is ideally suited for use in work, living and children’s rooms, classrooms, kindergartens or office and production environments. The storage intervals can also be adjusted to your desired settings from 1 second to 12\u00a0hours. The recorded data can be conveniently transferred to a connected PC using the fast USB connection, where it can be evaluated and logged using the analysis software included in the scope of delivery.<\/p>\n

BZ30 \u2212 CO\u2082 monitoring for suggested ventilation<\/h3>\n

A CO\u2082 concentration of up to 1,000\u00a0ppm indicates hygienically adequate air flow under normal conditions. Even at a CO\u2082 value of only 1,500\u00a0ppm, the ability to concentrate decreases noticeably and headaches, fatigue and even drowsiness can set in. For values above 1,000\u00a0ppm, the room should be ventilated so that the values are once more in the 400-500\u00a0ppm range. In light of this, the BZ30\u00a0CO\u2082 air quality data logger<\/strong><\/a> supplies reliable references whether, when and above all also how long a ventilation is necessary. However, the installation of a CO\u2082 \u00a0sensor does not mean that a CO\u2082 concentration of less than 1,000\u00a0ppm will fundamentally protect you against infection with SARS-CoV-2. This is because a connection between CO\u2082 concentration and viral load does not exist.<\/p>\n

BZ30 \u2013 an important indicator for necessary ventilation measures<\/h3>\n

Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) in the room air are a sure indicator that the time is ripe to change the air. If necessary, you can improve the indoor climate by increasing the flow of fresh air or with the effective use of air purifiers, humidifiers, or dehumidifiers.<\/p>\n
