Features
CO2 Measurement with Proven Technology
The InPro 5500i offers an improved thermal conductivity measurement technique for greater accuracy and low drift in dissolved carbon dioxide determination. Immunity to background gases means high CO2 selectivity.
Food Grade Hygienic Design
As this CO2 sensor is designed for beer and beverage production, it is made from 316L stainless steel and can withstand CIP processes. Its hygienically designed membrane cap can be easily cleaned and quickly exchanged.
Maintenance Predictability
The InPro 5500i CO2 sensor with Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) technology has predictive maintenance tools such as a Dynamic Lifetime Indicator that predicts when membrane replacement will be needed.
Process Connection Compatibility
The 28mm/M42 connection, plus the integrated temperature sensor for more accurate CO2 measurement, means commissioning is quick and straightforward. The sensor can be combined with a multi-channel transmitter and DO sensor for a dual O2/CO2 loop.
