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…)
Keeping check on refrigerant leaks with a fixed gas detection system.
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 With proper maintenance refrigeration systems should be expected to last twenty years or more before needing to be replaced. However, that doesn’t mean a fixed gas detection system does not need to be in place. It can be easy to overlook a small discrepancy or to miss a loose fitting especially in a large commercial refrigeration facility. It need not be an oversight on the part of maintenance that causes a leak either. (more…)

The ST-IAM gas leak sensors, one of the best available in industry today
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 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. (more…)
