New generation of ultrasonic leak detectors
Innova Gassonic, the Danish manufacturer of the first ultrasonic gas leak detector, the Gassonic MM0100, has just released the next generation of ultrasonic gas leak detection.
Hydrocarbon gas leak detection at speed of sound
The Gassonic Observer, an ultrasonic gas leak detector, detects hydrocarbon gas leaks instantly - prior to hazardous gas accumulation.
One of the main features of the Gassonic Observer is an innovative built-in acoustic self-test function that ensures failsafe operation.
This means that the detector actually verifies its functionality by emitting a leak-like sound in short intervals, thereby ensuring that it will instantly pick up a potentially disastrous leak.
The detector is designed to resist the harsh environmental conditions found in offshore ATEX and UL environments.
It comes with a 4-20mA analogue output and RS485 serial digital communication interface.
It is virtually maintenance-free.
The new detector is based on the same general principles that have proved the ultrasonic gas leak detection technology to be a highly effective and reliable detection method.
That means that, unlike traditional point and open-path sensors, it is unaffected by changing wind directions and fast dilution of the gas.
It does not wait for the gas to build up a dangerous concentration; instead it reacts instantly to the distinct ultrasonic noise that high-pressure gas leaks make.
The ultrasonic leak detectors will detect 0.1kg/s gas leaks in a diameter of up to 25m.
The Danish manufacturer Innova Gassonic has been developing and marketing ultrasonic gas leak detection for almost a decade now and the company has years of experience assisting customers during mapping and commissioning of plants/platforms to ensure optimal detector positioning and verification of the system performance.
