The stream passes through the optical filter, which blocks all wavelengths except those that CO2 absorbs. Calibration can be done by our lab or you can perform the calibration yourself with our video tutorials. If you suspect a carbon dioxide (CO2) leak, it is important to use a CO2 leak detector such as the SAN-13to ensure a leak is present.

Signal Conversion: The infrared sensor measures the intensity of the light that has passed through the gas sample and converts it into an electrical signal. The SCL2 Carbon Dioxide Leak Detector is a portable CO2 (R-744) instrument with a superior combination of sensitivity, speed, sensor life, battery life, and ease of use.The SCL2 Carbon Dioxide Leak Detector comes with a wall and car charger for its ultra compact lithium ion battery which last for a full eight hours. When CO2 is drawn through the sampling cell by the D-TEK CO2's internal pump, some of the infrared energy is absorbed by the CO2 . The analyzer is built with a dual-channel NDIR CO2 sensor and a 32-bit microprocessor, ensuring accurate readings and user calibration. The sensor detects changes in concentration, not absolute concentration, allowing the SLC2 to differentiate CO2 concentrations higher than concentrations normally found in the ambient air.

CO2 leak detectors are employed to monitor storage areas, keg rooms, or any other spaces where carbon dioxide cylinders or systems are installed to prevent leaks and ensure a safe working environment. The D-TEK CO2, is a hand-held refrigerant leak detector designed especially to pinpoint the source of the leak. Don't forget that CO2 is heavier than air, so if you are in a shaft or confined space, take extra precautions. This helps maintain appropriate conditions and prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide in enclosed spaces. Our range includes detectors that are able to ‘sniff’ ambient concentrations of hydrocarbon gases such as butane, methane, propane and much more.The sensor detects changes in concentration, not absolute concentration, allowing the SLC2 to differentiate CO2 concentrations higher than concentrations normally found in the ambient air. A gas leak detector is a device that has a specific gas sensor that indicates if a gas leak is occurring, such as the SAN-13 CO2 Leak Detector, which detects if there is a carbon dioxide leak. For those needing to detect higher concentrations of CO2, our 0-100% Carbon Dioxide Gas Analyzer is the more appropriate option. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. If Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is present in the gases it will turn the fluid green indicating a blown head gasket or similar issue.

I have been designing, building, manufacturing, and testing toxic gas detection systems for over 20 years. Monitor the CO2 ppm Readings: Allow the CO2 detector sufficient time to sample the air and provide accurate readings.It consists of a sampling cell with an infrared source (or emitter) at one end, an infrared energy detector at the other end, and an optical filter in between them. By utilizing an optical filter with precise characteristics, INFICON has made D-TEK CO2 sensitive to CO2 while minimizing false alarms. Specially design combustion gases leak detector - CO2 tester tool set for quick detection of blown gasket, cracked cylinder block or cylinder head without spending many hours of engine dissembling. Mastercool’s 55745 handheld CO2 leak detector uses an advanced infrared sensor to effectively pinpoint R744 (CO2).
