New sensors for ammonia gas detection

0

Ammonia gas is classed as a toxic gas under COSHH regulations and therefore you will require an ammonia gas detection system to monitor the atmosphere to comply with COSHH. However, one of the main downfalls of current ammonia gas sensors is that they don’t really fit the bill, especially for refrigeration plants.

Existing electrochemical sensors are consumed by Ammonia as they are monitoring. This means if you have a background level in a plant room, then your sensor life will be drastically reduced. This also means, your sensor could become fully consumed and useless should a gas leak occur. In either case this leads to a detector which no longer correctly reads Ammonia, a potentially fatal problem as you no longer have a working ammonia gas detection system.
