Summary
Remote Methane Leak Detector uses international advanced tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy technology (TDLAS), which can detect methane gas within 150m distance.
Natural
gas is not unfamiliar in our daily life. In the construction of modern urban
buildings, the laying of natural gas pipelines and the reservation of holes
should be considered. Natural gas has entered our life and brought great
convenience to people's life. Compared with traditional gas, natural gas has
higher safety and cleanliness. Natural gas is non-toxic, easy to emit, lighter
than air, not easy to accumulate into explosive gas, which has great advantages
in safety. However, as a kind of combustible gas, natural gas still has the
risk of explosion in case of leakage, so it is very necessary to prevent and
detect the leakage of natural gas pipeline.
The
traditional methods include soap water, household combustible gas detection
alarm and short-distance leakage detector.
However,
there are several problems that traditional detection methods can't do:
1. Too many
pipelines and insufficient inspectors
2. The user
is not at home, unable to enter the home for security inspection
3. The
existing equipment cannot detect the place too far away
4. Small
leakage, difficult to detect by similar equipment
ARD2000 Remote Methane Leak Detector uses international advanced
tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy technology (TDLAS), which can
detect methane gas within a certain distance. At the same time, through
optimization design and independent research and development, the measurement
distance and accuracy of the detector are greatly improved, which is the most
powerful safety guarantee for gas inspection and leak detection. Unlike
traditional portable detectors, this Remote Methane Leak Detector does not need
to place the probe in a gas-filled environment. Instead, the device emits a
laser beam. The laser passes through the pipe or the space above the facility
and hits the object at the other end. Reflected back to the receiver, and then
converted into electrical signals, these signals are used to analyze the
concentration of methane, the unit is ppm﹒m. By using WMS technology, the ARD2000 Remote Methane Leak Detector can
achieve extremely high detection accuracy. The light at this wavelength is only
absorbed by methane, so it only reacts to methane and is not affected by other
gases, which greatly improves the accuracy of detection. Using the Remote Methane Leak Detector, the
operator does not need to be in a dangerous environment, which not only
protects the safety of the inspector, but also can inspect the overhead
pipeline from a long distance, which improves the inspection efficiency. The
detection reading is the product of the concentration of the laser passing
through the methane gas mass and the thickness of the gas mass in ppm﹒m, as shown below:
