Gas Detector

INTRODUCTION

Hansen Technologies offers a complete line of industrial 

quality Gas Detector, Controller and Alert Systems for 

refrigerants and other common gases. These state-of-

the-art gas detection products utilize a range of sensing 

technologies to suit a given application. Available in 

several configurations to meet various application 

requirements with optimum accuracy and reliability.

APPLICATIONS

Hansen Gas Detectors are suitable for use in industrial 

refrigeration engine rooms, cold storage rooms, 

processing rooms, truck docks, and for relief valve vent 

lines. They are also suitable for use in supermarkets, 

and large institutional and commercial buildings. 

Typical gas detection applications include Ammonia, 

Carbon Dioxide (CO

2

), Hydrocarbons, HFCs, HCFCs 

and CFCs.

ADVANTAGES

Hansen uses a variety of sensor element technologies 

including electrochemical, semiconductor and infrared 

sensors to selectively detect most gases. These sensor 

elements continuously determine the level of gas present 

in the surrounding environment. The analog outputs (4-

20mA or 0-10V DC) can interface with nearly any existing 

monitor, computer or PLC controller.

The sensor elements are mounted internally on the 

enclosure. This helps to provide quick response to 

potential leaks, particularly in still air. Electronics are 

sealed in a IP66 enclosure which protects them from 

moisture, dust and the surrounding gases, which in the 

case of ammonia can shorten the life of electronics. The 

sensing elements are easily replaced.
Gas Detectors have built-in visual and audible alarms. 

High level, low level and fault IA, SPDT relay outputs 

are standard. Testing and recalibration procedures 

are simple.
