About this presentation
No perfect gas detection system exists for all applications – every requirement is different. Minimise lost time due to false alarms with Infra-Red Gas Detection using optical absorption detection technology. The gas detector transmits infrared light through a sapphire lens. When a gas cloud moves through the detector, some light wavelengths are absorbed by the target gas wavelength, reducing their energy. The light is reflected back into the detector, where the infrared light sensors measure what wavelengths and how much infrared light has been received to determine the gas concentration. There are no consumables, just fit and forget – apart from scheduled function testing. Whether you are operating in the tropics with high humidity and temperatures or in the arctic at -75 Celsius we tailor the correct detector for you.
