Why A2L Refrigerants Require Reliable Leak Detection

Refrigerant Monitoring for Modern HVAC-R Systems The HVAC-R industry is undergoing a significant transition as manufacturers move toward refrigerants with lower Global Warming Potential compared to many traditional alternatives. Among the refrigerants increasingly adopted in modern heating, cooling and refrigeration systems are A2L refrigerants used in heat pumps, chillers and refrigeration equipment. What Are A2L Refrigerants? A2L refrigerants are a category of refrigerants classified...

Hydrogen and Ammonia gas detection: two hazards, two sensing approaches

Ammonia is often discussed as a practical carrier for Hydrogen. The reason is clear: Hydrogen can be produced from renewable electricity, but storing and transporting it at scale remains technically demanding. Ammonia offers a different route. It can chemically store Hydrogen in a form that is already produced, handled and transported by industry on a large scale. But from a gas...

Gas Detection for Biogas and Landfill Gas Plants

Typical Gas Detection Challenges in Biogas Plants Biogas and Landfill Gas applications expose gas detection systems to some of the most aggressive industrial conditions. Corrosive Atmospheres Biogas and LFG may contain Hydrogen Sulphide (H₂S), acidic compounds and contaminants capable of damaging standard sensor materials and reducing operational lifetime. High Humidity and Condensation Digesters, upgrading systems and gas pipelines frequently generate environments with high humidity and...

High-Performance Gas Sensing: Understanding SIL and Functional Safety in Industrial Design

In the highly regulated field of industrial Gas detection, the shift toward quantified reliability is no longer optional. With the integration of the ATEX standard concerning Safety Related Devices into European requirements, product measurement and physical performance must be backed by rigorous functional safety data. Defining Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Safety Integrity Level (SIL) defines the relative level of risk reduction...
