Gas detecting sensor
Type DGS
Refrigerant gas detection for safeguarding commercial buildings.
DGS sensors can be used in stand-alone or
integrated systems, where continuous realtime, automatic monitoring with Danfoss
ADAP-KOOL® Refrigeration Control &
Monitoring System and/or Building
Management Systems is applied.
DGS supports our customers in complying with
environmental F-Gas Regulations and Health &
Safety requirements on new or existing systems
in:
• supermarkets
• process refrigeration plants
• refrigerated storage and warehousing
• special application areas/zones
Typical refrigerant gas applications include:
• halocarbons: HFCs, HCFCs, CFCs
• carbon dioxide (CO₂/R744)
• hydrocarbons (e.g. R290)
• other special application gases to customer
request
Sensing technology varies to make the best
detection for a given gas, in terms of
performance and cost. DGS-IR is based on infrared sensor technology, DGS-SC is based on
semi-conductor and DGS-PE is based on
pellistor.
