Take a look at the main features and highlights. The 2-story structure has been designed specifically for NET, taking into account current and future needs in terms of space and organization. With over 1600m2 of...

COMPLETE LIST OF AVAILABLE REFRIGERANT SENSORS

NET offers the most complete range of Non-Dispersive (NDIR) sensors on the market today for refrigerant gas detection: 44 common gases, plus two more currently under development. Those gases are available across 3 different platforms (IRNET PRO, IREF PRO, IREF LITE) and the available ranges vary according to the specific gas. For example, non-flammable refrigerants may be available only in ppm...

SENSOR BURN-IN

A vital stage of our sensor production is the so called BURN IN phase. This phase comes right at the end of the sensor assembly cycle and immediately before sensor calibration (learn more on sensor calibration here). The burn in consists in exercising the sensor for a specified length of time by powering it on under supervised conditions. The length...

THE NET AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION SYSTEM

To ensure maximum accuracy and dependability, here at NET each NDIR sensor is individually calibrated. An automatic system designed and built in-house allow us to complete long and complexes cycles for up to 144 sensors per batch without requiring constant attention by an operator, while ensuring consistency of results and storage of an ever-increasing data base of information. For each type...

A NEW ADDITION TO THE IREF LITE RANGE: R-449a.

NET already features the most complete range of refrigerant leak detection solutions on the market today, but as the market is constantly introducing new refrigerants, we are constantly designing new sensors. We are proud to introduce our latest addition for R-449a, a refrigerant gas intended for use in low and medium temperature refrigeration systems to replace R-22, R-404A or R-507. It can...

NEW 2024 PRICE LISTS

Dear Customer, We are reaching out to communicate an imminent price increase on our products. Just like anybody else, we have not been immune to the global inflationary pressures of the recent months. If you are involved in electronics at any degree, you are certainly well aware of it. But cost increases have extended to labor and transportations as well. Rather than looking...

DETECTING AMMONIA WITH NET IREF PRO NDIR SENSORS

Ammonia is a among the most common gases found in the industry. Vastly used in wastewater treatment, leather, rubber, paper, food and beverage industries, it is also making a strong comeback in cold storage applications and refrigeration systems due to its environmental friendliness. Ammonia toxicity is well known. The pungent smell of ammonia in the air is detectable at concentrations as...

SENSOR INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

NET manufactures and sells a complete range of gas sensing devices on an OEM basis for industrial and commercial applications used by instrument manufacturers worldwide. NET does not manufacture complete instruments or detectors and let alone complete gas detection systems. Nonetheless, oftentimes users ask us for sensor installation guidelines in terms of number and location of sensors. This is a rather...

UNDERSTANDING REFRIGERANT DETECTION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS OF IEC 60335-2-40:2018 – ANNEX LL

NET Cyber Heads have been recently declared conform to Annex LL of IEC 60335-2-40:2018. This short article will explain in greater details the content of Annex LL and what are the requirements of refrigerant detection systems for flammable refrigerants for household and similar electrical appliances. The IEC 60335-2-40 standard deals with the safety of electric heat pumps, sanitary...
