Cambridge Sensotec is developing an all new sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas analyser with pump back facility for measuring SF6 within high voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS).
The company is nearing completion of the portable analyser, which comes in response to the requirements of the electricity generation and distribution industries.
Launch of the new SF6 gas analyser is currently planned for autumn 2014.
As GIS equipment contains pressurised SF6 gas, Cambridge Sensotec’s new analyser will allow the user to return the sample to pressurised switchgear. SF6 gas samples can be extracted from the GIS equipment into the analyser, measured and pumped back. This eliminates the need to refill the GIS and prevents the release of any SF6 gas into the atmosphere (in accordance with Kyoto greenhouse gas handing legislation).
