Fixed Gas Detection
What is a fixed gas detection system?
Fixed detectors detect and alert of abnormal or dangerous levels of gas in a specific area. Equipped with sensors, they measure the concentration of one (or more) types of gas, depending on the model.
Draeger Systems
Draeger’s unique, patented electrochemical, catalytic and infrared sensors last 2-3 times longer than all other brands of sensors. The sensors have better performance specifications that all other brands – lower detection limits, less cross-interference, better accuracy and repeatability, better resistance to drift from environmental changes (flow, temperature, and humidity).
The controllers also have patented features – Hart tunneling, the functionality of a PLC without the need to do programming, and a “distributed module” capability that dramatically reduces the cost of wiring the transmitters to the controller.
Draeger has in-house custom system capabilities – a fully integrated, custom system can be designed, built, and warrantied by Draeger.
Draeger safety gas detection solutions are trusted worldwide for their precision, reliability, and advanced technology in protecting workers and facilities from hazardous gases. Designed for industrial environments, Draeger safety gas detectors provide accurate, real-time monitoring to quickly identify toxic, flammable, and oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
