Ownership costs cut with new fixed gas detectors
Covering alarm monitoring for flammable, toxic and oxygen gas hazards, the Crowcon Xgard range features a universal junction box and replacement sensors which simply plug in, reducing spares needed
High temperature flammable gas detector with ATEX
The ATEX certified Xgard Type 4 gas detector from Crowcon is designed to quickly detect flammable gases in high temperature applications, up to 150C, such as gas turbines, drying ovens or processes
Although this enclosure is manufactured to a high specification using 316 stainless steel castings, it does not carry a high price premium.
The new enclosure accepts a comprehensive range of sensors for monitoring routinely encountered flammable and toxic gases and oxygen.
Poison-resistant pellistor sensors will detect flammable hydrocarbons, hydrogen, ammonia and jet fuel vapours.
Electrochemical sensors cover all common toxic gases, and thermal conductivity sensors will deliver volumetric concentration readings of gases like methane and CO2.
UL and ATEX certified versions are available for use in potentially explosive atmospheres using either Exd flameproof or Exia intrinsically safe protection concepts.
Special high temperature flammable gas versions will operate at up to 150C.
Waterproofing accessories provide extra ingress protection to IP66 for outdoor use and protection against washdown or exceptionally wet conditions.
To minimise operating costs, and simplify installation and replacement, quick-fit plug-in sensor modules are used.
These detectors can be wall, ceiling or duct mounted and set up for remote sampling. Request a free brochure from Crowcon Detection Instruments ...
