Single gas detectors
November 1st 2009 Draeger is expanding its
family of single gas detectors
with the launch of the
Draeger Pac 3500 and
Draeger Pac 5500.
Designed for personal
protection and suitable for
use in oil and gas, chemical,
power generation, steel, water
and other general industrial
applications, these compact
gas detectors measure the
concentration of oxygen, carbon
monoxide or hydrogen sulphide in the
air. Both instruments use minimal
battery power and, because they have
low maintenance requirements, offer
a low cost of ownership.
The Draeger Pac 3500 has a
lifespan of about two years; the
Draeger Pac 5500 an indefinite
lifespan with proper maintenance
and servicing. Both feature powerful
Draeger detection technology.
The integrated Draeger XXS
sensors offer an expected lifespan of
five to eight years. The same is true
of the oxygen sensor, which operates
consumption-free and has been
produced lead-free. The triple
electrode technology on which it is
based prevents early sensor wear.
The battery and filter of the
Draeger Pac 3500 can be replaced
while the sensor does not have to be
changed over the entire instrument
life. The battery, sensor and filter of
the 5500 can be easily replaced
without the need for special tools. More articles from Draeger Safety UK Limited: |
