Why Are Infrared Gas Detectors Gaining Such Popularity?

 

Infrared gas detector is a fully automatic detection instrument. Compared with other instruments, the operation is relatively simple, and no other consumables are used during the measurement process except for the instrument itself. Therefore, as long as you purchase this instrument, the subsequent investment is almost zero, making it a very cost-effective detection instrument.

 

Infrared gas detector is an instrument that can analyze gas components. This instrument can simultaneously support the analysis of the main peaks of four different gases. And it uses infrared technology, so the sensitivity is very high. The common gases that can be analyzed mainly include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, methane and other gases. This is a detection instrument that uses electrochemical methods to measure and analyze gases. For example, real-time measurement of oxygen content in the air and real-time tracking of carbon dioxide concentration in the air can be achieved.

 

Infrared gas detectors can adjust themselves according to the composition of the air, which means that during detection, it often depends on the specific composition of the air being detected before the instrument can make corresponding automatic adjustments. These tasks do not require manual adjustment. The instrument has high detection efficiency and does not require manual calibration. Moreover, it has high accuracy, not just for conducting a single test, but for conducting multiple layers of internal testing to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results. In addition, the instrument is small in size, easy to carry, lightweight, and reduces the burden on staff. In the instrument, each detection module exists in the form of a unit, which can be easily disassembled and cleaned, and the maintenance cost is relatively low. The device also adopts a visual operation interface for quick access and operation. In addition, the data detected by the infrared gas detector also supports automatic storage and data export function.

 

Infrared gas detectors can be applied in many fields, such as coal mines, explosion sites, gas leak sites, petrochemicals, and papermaking. In addition, it can also be used as an indoor air monitoring tool. For example, it is entirely possible to purchase and test the specific levels of formaldehyde and other harmful gases in the newly renovated room. This detection tool also supports online synchronous data transmission, which means that the detected data can be transmitted in real time to the data analysis center for fast and accurate analysis of the detection results, and then feedback to relevant parties.
Characteristics of infrared gas detector:

 

1. The monitoring probe uses a lead selenide probe with high infrared absorption efficiency, which is equipped with a semiconductor refrigeration component to ensure temperature balance inside the probe. Therefore, it has little impact on outdoor temperature changes, long probe service life, high accuracy, and fast response speed.

 

2. Adopting advanced gas filtering technology and designing and manufacturing with fine absorption spectra, it has strong anti transverse coherence flexibility.

 

3. Built in high-performance rechargeable battery pack, with a working time of more than 6 hours, and can be connected to an external AC power source, which can also be charged during operation.

 

4. The circuit is advanced, using popular microcomputer chips and 16 bit AD conversion chips. The overall design is reasonable, the circuit stability is good, the drift is small, the failure rate is low, and it is easy to maintain and repair. The unique automatic gain system of the infrared gas detector automatically adjusts the working parameters, thus avoiding the index decline caused by parameter voltage changes after machine aging.
