Gas Sensor Transmitter

Acrolein is a clear, colorless, or yellow liquid with a pungent, suffocating odor. It is very flammable and may polymerize violently. Acrolein should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers. It should be kept separated from alkaline materials such as caustics, ammonia, organic amines, or mineral acids, strong oxidizers, and oxygen. Acrolein is soluble in water, alcohol, ether, and acetone. The smell of burnt fat (as when cooking oil is heated to its smoke point) is caused by glycerol as the burning fat breaking down to acrolein.

XGST series acrolein gas sensor transmitter is highly robust, industrial grade, flameproof / explosion proof instrument for toxic level detection in ppm terms. It is fixed type instrument for online continuous monitoring in ambient or duct air. Due to its industry standard analog or digital output, it can be connected to any standard controller or SCADA system for monitoring and alarm purpose.

The detector can be installed at walls, surfaces or in ducts for monitoring in gas or air sample. It is ATEX EEx’d’ certified with SIL 2 safety integrity level for hazardous area installation Zone 1 and 2.

Acrolein gas sensor transmitter is based on highly reliable electro-chemical sensing technology for slightest detection. It has unique feature of auto diagnostic watch dog with zero point tracking feature. Due to its 10-bit microprocessor based control unit, it offer high accuracy over long term. The detector is also equipped with sintered filter with flashback arrestor for enhanced safety.
