Dynament Refrigerant Infrared Platinum Sensors are well known for their long-standing reliable performance in refrigerant gas detection. With advanced features and diverse applications, these sensors deliver precise, sensitive, and dependable measurements, promoting safer, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable operations. By leveraging the capabilities of these well-established sensors, industries can enhance safety standards, optimize processes, and minimize the environmental impact of refrigerant gas emissions.

Our sensors are designed to detect refrigerant gases and provide early warnings for the presence of flammable gases. They allow systems to shut down compressors or activate fans to dissipate the gas before it reaches explosive levels. For R454A, R454B, R454C, our sensors detect leaks and alert users to take necessary action, ensuring safety and preventing potential hazards.

Applications Across Industries

Dynament Refrigerant Platinum Infrared Sensors are used in various industries where refrigerant gas identification is required for safety, preventing environmental impact, and process optimization. Some notable applications include:

  • HVAC/R Systems: In heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems, these sensors help monitor refrigerant levels to ensure efficient operation, monitor for leaks, and comply with environmental regulations.
  • Refrigerated Warehousing: In cold storage and refrigerated warehouses, refrigerant sensors are crucial for ensuring safety from any potential flammable refrigerant leak. Early detection of gas leaks from the refrigeration system not only prevents the build up of flammable gas, but also allows action to be taken to reduce downtime of the system.
  • Industrial Refrigeration: Industrial refrigeration leak detection systems are often installed near compressor units, evaporators, or other key components where leaks are most likely to occur. These sensors are essential for identifying refrigerant leaks, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing downtime and ensuring safety. They can detect gases like carbon dioxide, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that might escape from refrigeration systems. Detecting leaks early on helps prevent the release of hazardous gases, ensuring worker safety.

    Additional Features

  • Which gases are the refrigerant sensors compatible with? Both the Axiom Detector and Platinum Series sensors can detect R32, R454B, R454C, R290, and R744.
  • High Resolution: Measures non flammable refrigerant gases and refrigerant gases in the LFL range with a resolution of 0.05% (500ppm).
  • Premier Configuration Unit: This USB-powered unit allows users to calibrate and re-configure the sensor parameters. PC software includes a data logging feature.
  • Comprehensive Warranty: 5-year warranty for added peace of mind.
  • Reliability: These sensors utilize advanced platinum non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology, ensuring exceptional precision, sensitivity, and reliability in measuring refrigerant gases.

    • Dynament platinum gas sensors are designed with patented nondispersive infrared technology for the detection and measurement of the presence of refrigerant gases. To meet the growing need for lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant gases, Dynament offers sensors for both flammable (A3, A2, A2L) and non-flammable (A1) refrigerants. The Dynament Platinum NDIR sensor has a twenty-year history of meeting and exceeding gas detection needs in the most challenging environmental applications.

    Our gas sensors are intended to be used to detect leaks of refrigerant gas in HVAC/R systems. Highly flammable gas such as R290 (propane) and mildly flammable gas such as R32 require monitoring to ensure safety and prevent fire or explosion. Typically, on detection of gas, a fan will be activated to disperse the gas, and the compressor may be shut down to prevent/limit further leakage. The dispersion effect of the fan keeps the concentration of the gas below the lower explosive limit, whilst the shutdown of the compressor prevents a fast build-up of more gas.

    By incorporating these Refrigerant Infrared Platinum Sensors into their systems, industries can benefit from the peace of mind of using a well-established, reliable technology.

    Conclusion

    Process Sensing Technologies Refrigerant Infrared Platinum Sensors offer exceptional reliability in refrigerant gas detection. With cutting-edge NDIR technology and durable construction, they are crucial assets for industries prioritizing safety, efficiency, and environmental compliance. The Platinum series platform provides a linearized, temperature compensated, high-resolution measurement of refrigerant gases over the lower explosive limit range.
