Definition

Temperature compensation in air quality sensors refers to the process of modifying or rectifying the sensor’s output values in response to the prevailing temperature conditions. Temperature can impact the sensor's electrical properties, potentially causing deviations in measurement accuracy. To address this, compensation entails integrating temperature sensors within the sensor assembly to monitor temperature fluctuations. Correction algorithms are then employed to mitigate the effects of these temperature variations on the sensor’s readings, ensuring more accurate air quality measurements.
