The demand for detecting air quality is increasing across markets such as household appliances and building automation, especially for smart home applications in air conditioners and air purifiers. Omron's B5W air quality sensor is capable of detecting 0.5 µm particles. The duct structure can breathe in air stably and effectively allowing particulates to flow through the sensor. Omron’s air quality sensor can intake and sample six times greater air volume than competitors, which means it is able to provide more consistent and accurate results.
