Hydrogen’s high energy density offers great potential but also poses significant explosion risks. To address these safety challenges, field instrumentation must be suitably certified for classified areas. Dräger offers comprehensive safety solutions, including portable and stationary gas detection devices.
The X-am® 5800 multi-gas detector measures up to six gases and is equipped with a shock-resistant CatEx SR sensor. The Dräger Gas Detection Connect software offers live data transmission and powerful fleet management. Designed for personal monitoring, the X-am 5800 offers the highest level of safety at a low cost of ownership.
The Dräger Polytron® 8900 UGLD transmitter is an early warning area monitor for detecting high-pressure gas leaks in outdoor industrial process environments. Thanks to an ultrasonic acoustic sensor, it responds earlier than conventional gas detectors because it registers the sound of leaking gas instead of measuring the concentration of accumulated gas clouds. As gas escapes, leaks are immediately detected in the surrounding area, regardless of the wind direction.
The Dräger Polytron® 8200 CAT is an advanced explosion-proof transmitter for the detection of combustible gases in the lower explosion limit (LEL). It uses a catalytic bead DrägerSensor® Ex that will detect most flammable gases and vapors. In addition to a 3-wire 4 to 20-mA analog output with relays it also offers HART®, Modbus and Fieldbus protocols, making it compatible with most control systems.
