Hydrocarbon detector
March 1st 2011 Crowcon's new IRmax is an ultracompact
infrared (IR) gas detector
that delivers rapid, fail-safe detection
of hydrocarbon gases with very low
power consumption. Said to be
smaller and lighter than comparable
IR detectors, the IRmax is easy to
install in even the most inaccessible
locations.
Featuring dual-wavelength IR
sensor technology in a rugged 316
stainless steel package, IRmax is
designed to operate in the harshest
conditions in temperatures ranging
from -40 to +75°C. IRmax does not
utilise heaters to prevent
condensation on windows and
mirrors – instead it has STAY-CLIR
optical components, which are treated
with a highly durable coating that
prevents faults due to condensation.
As IRmax contains no components
for artificially heating optical surfaces,
power consumption is reduced. More articles from Crowcon Detection Instruments Ltd: |
