Vaisala’s GMW90 the ultimate tool for HVAC professionals
January 2014Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
The GMW90 is the ultimate tool for HVAC professionals looking for an easy-to-use, hassle-free solution to carbon dioxide measurements. Customer feedback played a vital role in developing the GMW90, a high-quality measurement sensor which offers ease-of-use, compliance with standards, extended lifetime and minimal maintenance.
Microglow technology
GMW90 is the first sensor to feature the new generation of CarboCap sensors with microglow technology. Microglow is a Vaisala patented silicon MEMS emitter infrared source. This unique low-power, silicon-based infrared source is built in-house at Vaisala.
Using this technology, the performance of the sensors represents next-generation infrared technology that solves many of the challenges that impact traditional infrared sources.
Low power consumption enables correct RH+T measurements in carbon dioxide instruments. Replacing the incandescent light bulb has significantly improved sensor stability, moreover, the sensor’s operational life has extended by 50%. Through intelligent optical design fewer components are required, which helps to increase the overall reliability of the sensor. The GMW90 includes a sliding cover that allows for faster calibration and service. Most importantly, the compliance and traceability of the measurements are never compromised.
Vaisala’s reliable technology and state-of-the-art design brings an efficient and robust carbon dioxide measurement device to the market.
Analysers for use in high ambient temperature environments
Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
The 993X series of analysers from Ametek Process Industries are now IECEx Zone 2 certified for use in locations with up to 60°C ambient temperature. Built with IP66-rated enclosures and using an integrated cooling system, they can be installed outdoors or in minimally temperature-controlled enclosures, reducing complexity while lowering capital and operating costs.

At its peak in 1994, the energy generation capacity of the UK’s nuclear power stations was 12,7 GW across 16 plants. In 2024, the capacity has fallen to around 5 GW, and the number of stations is down to nine. However, this is far from the end of the story as spent nuclear fuel remains radioactive for centuries, and requires rigorous safety processes to safeguard against leaks.
