Advanced NDIR Sensor for SF6 or Refrigerants Detection
Jun 19 2014
The IR series of infrared gas detection sensors, from N.E.T., use the technique of NDIR (Non Dispersive Infrared) to monitor the presence of SF6 or refrigerants. This technique is based on the fact that the gas has a unique and well defined light absorption curve in the infrared spectrum that can be used to identify the specific gas. The gas concentration can be determined by using a suitable infrared source and by analysing the quantity of energy absorbed from the gas inside the optical path. The IREF-P sensor is equipped with electronics and firmware in order to provide an output that is linearised and temperature compensated. The output is analogue voltage type [0.4 V—2 V] dc (other voltages are available on request). IREF P is now SIL2 approved.
The main features are: analogue voltage standard output, incorporated signal, linearisation and temperature compensation suited for instrument manufacturers without any specialist knowledge in IR technology, standard sensor size 32 mm, fast response, solid, rugged construction, wide operating temperature and humidity range (-20°C +60°C) and new optics “Variable Geometry".
NDIR Sensors are now available for the following detectable gases: SF6, Ethylene, R-1234yf, R-1234ze, R-507, R-125, R-134a, R-404a, R-407a, R-407f, R-410, R-449, R-417a, R-448a, R-452b, R-32
Other refrigerants are in development.
