Hydrocarbon detector

Crowcon’s new IRmax is an
ultra-compact infrared (IR)
gas detector that delivers
rapid, fail-safe detection of
hydrocarbon gases with very
low power consumption. Far
smaller and lighter than
comparable IR detectors, the
IRmax is easy to install in
even the most inaccessible
locations, says Crowcon.

Featuring dual-wavelength
IR sensor technology in a
rugged 316 stainless steel
package, IRmax is designed to
operate in harsh conditions in
temperatures from -40 to
+75°C. Unlike conventional
IR gas detectors, IRmax does
not utilise heaters to prevent
condensation on windows
and mirrors – instead its
STAY-CLIR optical components
are treated with a
durable coating that prevents
faults due to condensation.
