Gas Sampling Systems are designed to detect flammable and toxic gases in various areas of a ship, including ballast tanks, void spaces, compressor room, motor room and pump room.
A high-flow diaphragm pump carries the sample from the dangerous areas into the analyzer.
Samples are taken sequentially from a single measurement point, with a range of 0-100%L.E.L. Optionally, the system can be configured to detect hydrocarbons within a 0-100% Volume range by means of an Infrared sensor, and for the measurement of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and/or oxygen, by means of electrochemical sensors.
Main functions and features:
