Hydrocarbon detector

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.
