GFG IR29i - Combustable Gas (NDIR) Detector
Measuring method
IR transmitters have become recognised as reliable gas warning systems for explosion protection. They are used to detect individual combustible gases or a wide range of gases. This involves sending an IR beam with a certain light intensity through a measuring space and then capturing it with a detector. Parts of this beam are absorbed by, amongst other things, hydrocarbon molecules. The reduced light intensity of the beam is registered by beam detectors and converted into a signal as the existing gas concentration % LEL.
Advantages
A special feature of our IR technology is its ability to also measure combustible gases above the bottom explosion limit (uniqueness). Moreover, the measurement does not require oxygen. With this technology there is basically no risk of contaminating the sensor, e.g. through silicone vapours or hydrogen sulphide when using catalytic combustion sensors.
