It is estimated that in 2005 as much as 769,000kg of HFC’s leaked from UK supermarket refrigeration units. Considering this does not include industrial refrigeration or air conditioning systems in office and residential buildings the total figure is likely to be many times that amount. It is clear then how important gas sensors are. (more…)

Leaking Refrigerant Gas Sensors in the UK
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011Importance of gas leak detection with the use of refrigeration units.
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 When we understand the gases used in the refrigeration process we begin to see the importance of gas leak detection where they are used. Typically refrigeration works by absorbing heat into a liquid or gas called a refrigerant and moving it with a pump somewhere else. Some gases and liquids have better heat absorbing properties than others. The gases most commonly used in refrigeration are Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC’s) and other hydrocarbons such as methane. Ammonia is also sometimes used. (more…)
Functions of gas detectors.
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 Gas detectors can be used to detect a wide variety of gases. Typical gases that need to be monitored include, refrigerants, volatile organic compounds, combustibles and toxic gases. Refrigerants are any gases that are used in cooling systems such as air conditioning units, refrigerators and freezers. Apart from the danger leaking refrigerants pose to the environment they can also result in a loss of revenue and potentially damage to stock and property. (more…)
What to do if your Gas Sensors alert you of a Gas Leak
Wednesday, October 26th, 2011 The knowledge of what to do and what not to do when your gas sensor alerts you of a leak could quite literally mean the difference between living and dying. Firstly, know that natural gas is in fact odorless. The egg-like smell you may associate with the gas is actually added by the supplier to alert you of a leak. (more…)

Next Generation Gas Sensors
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 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.

A gas detector you can trust: the Murco Gas Sensor.
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 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. (more…)
