A breakthrough in carbon dioxide application calls for next generation Gas Sensors We have been using refrigeration and air conditioning technologies in a countless number of applications for decades now. Initially blissfully unaware of the CFCs these systems were releasing into the atmosphere, these destructive gases gnawed away at our ozone layer and contributed to widespread environmental damage. Ever since we eventually came to this realisation, industry research and development initiatives have been working towards developing safer and environmentally friendlier refrigeration technologies.

Next Generation Gas Sensors
September 3rd, 2010Gas Detectors for Protection against Explosions and Contamination
August 3rd, 2010 Gas poses a silent threat that can be fatal if undetected. Individuals are often under the impression that they will easily be able to notice the presence of a harmful gas through smell however poisonous gases like carbon monoxide can be odourless, tasteless and colourless.

Fixed gas leak detection is made easy - thanks to the MGC controllers.
June 11th, 2010 In any large building that requires a dedicated fixed gas detection solution, the Murco Gas Detector (MGD) controllers offer the exact technology that you need for a comprehensive solution. The MGD controllers listed on Murco’s user friendly website have been made available as one, two, four or six sensors – this is applicable with either single or dual level monitoring - it is also compatible with either the 120 or 230V power supply. For PSU applications, a 12V option can be made available. Some of the advanced elements of this gas detection unit include:

An Integrated Area Monitor for a safer workplace.
June 11th, 2010 Welcome to the world of the Integrated Area Monitor (otherwise known as the IAM). This range of monitors consists of both IAM-C panels and IAM sensors. Use the IAM sensor as your own personal pre-set alarm system - one that combines both monitoring and sensors into one excellent unit. The IAM is an effective self-contained system, useful for the detection of gases in the airflow, airspace, room, zone or area. Read the rest of this entry »
A gas detector you can trust: the Murco Gas Sensor.
June 11th, 2010 Fixed gas detector sensors come in all shapes and sizes, and are made to suit the individual needs of each business. However there is one product that comes out head and shoulders above the others in the marketplace and that is the Murco Gas Sensor (the MGS). The MGS is a highly advanced fixed gas detector and one that can be used to help detect a wide variety of gases. Murco’s modern sensor is ideal for either stand-alone usage, or as a combined solution, built into the control system, or into the building management system itself. Read the rest of this entry »
The ST-IAM gas leak sensors, one of the best available in industry today
June 11th, 2010 For a gas leak sensor that will deliver all you need in terms of your company’s gas detection requirements, the ST-IAM range may be right up your alley. The range is split into the ST-MON panels and the ST-IAM sensors. The ST-IAM is a device that operates as a singular transmitter that does not require any other device for optimum functionality. In one single enclosure, the ST-IAM is both a monitor and sensor. Thanks to advances in gas leak detection, a total of 99 ST-IAM sensors can be attached to the ST-MON panel. Corporations of significant size recongnise that this is the ideal solution for their large-scale gas detection/monitoring requirements. Read the rest of this entry »
Choose Murco gas detectors for your refrigerant gas detection needs.
June 11th, 2010 Fixed refrigerant gas detection is made easier thanks to the highly-advanced Murco Gas Detector (MGD). The MGD is more than ideal for your companies gas detection needs. It is the ideal solution for all installations that require a superior, yet highly affordable free-standing gas detection device. The device is made up of one to six remote access gas sensors that are inter-connected and powered by one controlling unit. The controller will display all audio, visual and relay alarms that are applicable for gas detection. This intuitive system is made available on one of two alarm levels. In terms of applicable usage, the Murco Gas Detector sensor is perfect when one needs to: Read the rest of this entry »
Continuous Gas Monitoring Systems
May 14th, 2010 Real-time gas detection using remote sensors - offering continuous monitoring - can offer a better solution than conventional air sampling – aspirated - sampling systems. Continuous gas monitoring allows for every sampling point (gas leak sensor) to be monitored at all times therefore the concentration of gas shown on the display reflects the actual situation at that point – at any given moment. The benefits of continuous Gas monitoring through fixed gas detector units are many;
Fixed Gas Detection – What Gas, What Gas Leak Sensor?
May 14th, 2010 The type of gas you need to detect will dictate the type of gas leak sensor that offers the best solution for your business needs. In general sensors are grouped into four segments – Semiconductor (SC), Electrochemical (EC), Catalytic (CAT) and Infrared. Semiconductor (SC) are applied in a wide range of types of gas detection covering combustible, toxic and refrigerant gas detection. SC’s are highly economical and they typically have a lifespan that ranges between 5 and 8 years. In the past these sensors were prone to cross sensitivity issues however this has been resolved through a combination of filtered sensors, by using time delay within the electronics and through amending the threshold settings on the alarm.

A fixed gas detector prevents chaos for factory workers
May 14th, 2010 In Dandenong South, a drama unfolded early one morning when a factory was abruptly evacuated; a gas leak detector had sensed (in time) a possible life-threatening substance leak. One of the managing directors of the company noted that the signal was activated quite shortly after 8am when the factory was in full operation and thanks to the early warning over thirty staff members managed to safely evacuate the Dandenong-Frankston Road premises.
