Vapour detection
Crowcon, the gas detection specialist, has released the latest IRmax capability extension, enabling the detection of 29 hydrocarbon gases or vapours.
The infrared gas detector can now be calibrated for more obscure gases or vapours like toluene, cyclohexane, isopropyl alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and paraxylene, along with the more common hydrocarbons such as methane, ethanol and LPG.
Ultra-compact, the IRmax delivers rapid, fail-safe detection of hydrocarbon gases with very low power consumption, but with industry standard 4-20mA output. Far smaller and lighter than comparable IR detectors, the IRmax is easy to install in even the most inaccessible locations.
Optical components are treated with the highly durable, hydrophobic coating STAY-CLIR that completely prevents signal faults due to condensation. Because the IRmax contains no optical surface heating components, power consumption is dramatically reduced. It requires less than 1 Watt of power, typically 75-90% lower than other IR gas detectors.
