IRgaskiT gas sensors are smaller and lower cost
Edinburgh Instruments is launching the IRgaskiT, a new range of infrared gas sensor products based on a common, compact electronics platform, with interchangeable optical heads, permitting high-performance continuous detection and measurement of target gases. The aim of this new range is to meet the current demand for smaller and lower-cost gas sensors. Initially, the IRgaskiT will be available with options to detect and measure a wide range of CO2 concentrations. IRgaskiT also supports certified explosion-proof miniature gas sensor modules offered by other manufacturers.
Furthermore, the company plans to introduce new IRgaskiT sensor models for detecting additional gases.
The compact design of the IRgaskiT, with the added option to mount the optical assembly remotely from the support electronics, is excellent for applications where space on control panels (or within a customer's own instrument enclosure) is limited.
The potential to separate the optical assembly and processing electronics will also be of particular interest where gases have to be measured in hostile environments (eg in elevated temperatures and/or humidity).
Edinburgh Instruments has been designing and manufacturing gas sensors and gas monitors for the process control market for almost twenty years. The company has an extensive range of products based on the increasingly popular principle of non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorbtion.
Within the product range are gas sensors and gas monitors capable of measuring carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide (N2O), pentane (C5H12), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3) and other refrigerants.
