Refrigerant Gas Sensor Module (Thermal Conductivity Type) [Under Development]

 

SEMITEC’s refrigerant gas sensor module is thermally conductive gas detection sensor that is used the unique ultra-compact and highly sensitive thin film thermistor element.
It can be used to detect leakage of slightly flammable refrigerant gas R32 which is mainly used in air conditioning equipment.
Because of the heat conduction type, unlike general gas detection sensors, there is no need for replacement and it can be used continuously even after exposure to leakage gas, which can be expected to reduce maintenance costs.
In addition to R32, it is also capable of detecting R290 (propane), hydrogen, and R744 (carbon dioxide).

Dimensions: 45 x 33 x 11 (mm)

Features

・Even when exposed to 100%LFL※2 flammable gas, replacement is not required. (Can be used continuously)
・Long lifespan without degradation from contamination by miscellaneous gases
・Highly resistant to environmental disturbances (humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, etc.)
・UART support (monitoring, alerting, fault detection)

Poisoning Degradation Stability

Application

・Refrigerant gas leakage detection of commercial air conditioning equipment
・Refrigerant gas leak detection in refrigeration equipment
・Detection of flammable gas leaks
