Carbonation is a key element to the taste and perceived freshness of a beverage. Process conditions are rough and can easily lead to wear, tear and malfunctions, if the chosen sensor is not up to the job. This is where Carbo 520 Optical comes in: The inline CO2 sensor from Anton Paar is maintenancefree, hygienic and robust.
It measures CO2 concentration based on the spectroscopic approach of Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR), so the only “motion” in the system is the passing of infrared light through a crystal. Since the sensor has no moving or mechanical parts, there is no wear and tear and no disposables are required.
