Installation
The installation of the transmitter is described
The F-Gas detector should be
present. The gas must come into direct contact with the sensor in order to be detected.
Detectors are typically installed
refrigerant cylinders, within storage rooms or
from valves, pipe flanges and joints, pipe/vessel
The following points should be noted when locating gas detectors:
• To detect heavier-than-air gases
• Detectors must be mounted as close as possible to potential leak sources.
• When locating detectors consider the possible damage caused by
or exposure to jets from hoses or pressure washers.
• Consider ease of access for functional testing and servicing.
• Consider how the escaping gas may behave due to natural or forced air currents.
• Consider the process conditions. For example
