Different gases in one installation
There are installations where a variety of gases may need to be monitored at one time. For example, in the refrigeration industry is not uncommon to find one single machinery room operating with different gases like ammonia, carbon dioxide, and R404A.
Can a single system monitor all these gases?
Yes.
MGD Range
Mixed gas installations are possible when using 2 level controllers and as long as the gases in question can be detected by semiconductor sensors.
So for example with a MGD 6S 2L (this is 6 sensors of 2 detection levels) you can monitor 6 gases such as ammonia, VOC’s, LPG, natural gas, and any HFC refrigerant.
MGS Range
The MGS utilises 3 different sensor technologies and so 3 versions of MGS Sensors can be used, depending on the target gas.
The MGS can work with modified MGD 2 level controllers or the ST-MON panel.
IAM Range
If the gases to be monitored can be detected by semiconductor sensors, then a number of IAM’s with different target gas can be connected to the IAM-C control panel.
ST-IAM Range
This range is the most versatile of all.
The ST-IAM range utilises 4 different sensor technologies and so 4 versions of ST-IAM sensors can be used, depending on the target gas.
By using Murco’s ST-MON panel, up to 99 different ST-IAM sensors can be monitored from one location.
