Gas detector
May 1st 2008

The Xgard IR LPG from Crowcon is a low cost infrared fixed gas detector designed to detect LPG gas hazards before concentrations reach flammable levels.

Crowcon comments that conventional LPG detectors based on catalytic pellistors are susceptible to poisoning in some industrial atmospheres. This can make their readings unreliable and even destroy the sensor. The new Xgard IR LPG is immune to poisoning and will reliably warn of LPG gas hazards. Detection range is 0-100% Lower Explosive Limit.

IR sensors will fail to safety, detect flammable gas in inert backgrounds and are not damaged by high gas concentrations. The IR LPG version can be specified with two types of enclosure: polyester-coated aluminium or 316 stainless steel.

The sensor, which has a life expectancy of over 5 years, is a simple plug-in module. ATEX and IECEx approved, the Xgard IR LPG is Exd flameproof rated.
