Refrigerant
gas leak detection has become a high priority for
many companies in this environmentally sensitive age,
especially considering the increasing price of refrigerant
gas, not to mention emergency service call-out costs to
find, detect and repair leaks of freon, HFC's HCFC's,
plus the wasted man-hours that can be incurred. Installation
of refrigerant gas leak detectors is becoming an increasingly
vital concern in today's workplace. When you couple that
to the depleting ozone layer, it becomes apparent that
it is everyone's responsibility to prevent further damage
to the environment.
AquiTron™
refrigerant gas detection sensors are the product
of our customer focus programme. With Raychem’s
R & D heritage behind them, and feedback from their
networks of field sales representatives and engineers,
Aquilar are building comprehensive solutions to engineering
needs. Aquilar are fully conversant with BREEAM,
ODS EC Regulations EC2037/2000 and F-Gas Regulation.
Typical
systems are the refrigerants monitor AT-
RLM which detects all HCFC’s, HFC’s, freon
and ammonia which sequentially analyses sample air from
up to 16 zones and can identify refrigerant down to 1
ppm and the AT-RGA alarm suitable
for all refrigerant and many other gases which is designed
for use with all TraceTek and AquiTron™
alarm panels.
The
AT-RGA Refrigerant Gas
Alarm and the AT-RLM Refrigerant
Leak Monitor can be used in commercial buildings to
monitor the vast quantity of joints, valves and pipe work
used in air-conditioning and refrigeration systems.
They can stand-alone or be integrated into existing sensor
networks and can also be integrated with water,
oil and chemical
leak detection and
monitoring equipment. The AT-RLM is an infrared analyser
used to accurately monitor refrigerant gas (down to 1PPM),
and will detect all freon and CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants.
The system can monitor up to 16 independent channels and
with an additional 4 way manifold, allows gas monitoring
at up to 64 sampling points on one analyser. Interfaced
to the
AT-RLM refrigerant
Leak Monitor
can be visual alarms, volt free contacts for leak level
detection, several analogue outputs which can be used
for BMS, dial out, red flashing light, buzzer and shutdown
switches. The system has very high accuracy, with temperature,
pressure compensation and self diagnostics involving daily
self test, flow check, vacuum test and production of fault
codes. The 6mm diameter colour coded sample tubes can
be up to 150metres in length with end of line and in line
air filters.
"
It is estimated that companies could save as much as £40
million per year in costs by reducing leakage levels on
their refrigeration plant. Most commercial and industrial
systems have numerous potential leakage points. You may
not even be aware that your plant is leaking, let alone
how much it is costing you".
