The amount of light absorbed is directly proportional to the concentration of carbon dioxide present in the sample. One of the changes they recommended was to remove the ppm display because they were only interested in finding the leak as they already knew what concentration the gas in their system was.

The infrared source (emitter) creates a high-intensity stream of energy incorporating all wavelengths in the infrared spectrum. While most individuals will never experience the hazards of a CO2 leak, several injuries can occur to those working around dangerous CO2 points like beverage systems, cylinders, storage tanks, carbonators, and beer kegs.

It uses a CO2-specific infrared sensor, which has over 10 year's service life and high accuracy of 6g/year. Ensure Safety: Before conducting any tests, ensure that you are in a well-ventilated area or wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) if necessary. Monitor the CO2 ppm Readings: Allow the CO2 detector sufficient time to sample the air and provide accurate readings. We supply gas leak detectors from manufacturers such as TPI, Kane, Anton, Testo, Digitron and Extech.

If you suspect a carbon dioxide (CO2) leak, it is important to use a CO2 leak detector such as the SAN-13to ensure a leak is present. The SAN-13 CO2 Leak Detector is designed to protect employees or workers in areas where CO2 leaks can occur. Mastercool’s 55745 handheld CO2 leak detector uses an advanced infrared sensor to effectively pinpoint R744 (CO2). Hard plastic case, NiMH power stick, 12V and AC adapter/recharger, tip filters and infrared cell included.

Our range includes detectors that are able to ‘sniff’ ambient concentrations of hydrocarbon gases such as butane, methane, propane and much more. These include power plants, breweries, beverage manufacturing facilities, chemical plants, and food processing plants. Agricultural and horticultural settings: In certain agricultural practices, such as greenhouse cultivation or indoor farming, carbon dioxide is often supplemented to enhance plant growth. The SCL2 Carbon Dioxide Leak Detector is a portable CO2 (R-744) instrument with a superior combination of sensitivity, speed, sensor life, battery life, and ease of use.

Checks for cracked cylinder heads and blockages, blown head gaskets etc in petrol and diesel engines. I am also a subject matter expert on gas sensor technology, gas detectors, gas meters, and gas analyzers. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. A CO2 leak detector is a device designed to find CO2 gas leaks along various gas lines and connections.The lifespan of a CO2 (carbon dioxide) NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) sensor last between 5 to 15 years. By utilizing an optical filter with precise characteristics, INFICON has made D-TEK CO2 sensitive to CO2 while minimizing false alarms.

If Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is present in the gases it will turn the fluid green indicating a blown head gasket or similar issue. Restaurants and bars: Many restaurants and bars use carbon dioxide for carbonation in beverages such as soda and beer.The SCL2 Carbon Dioxide Leak Detector is a portable CO2 (R-744) instrument with a superior combination of sensitivity, speed, sensor life, battery life, and ease of use. I have been designing, building, manufacturing, and testing toxic gas detection systems for over 20 years.
