Description
Continuous monitoring
The GA35 Emission Monitor for SF6 Gas has been specially designed for detecting the gas concentration in enclosed rooms.
Harmful quantities of SF6 gas can escape due to improper operation. This can also occur from leakages if the SF6 gas is processed or stored. The model GA35 makes it possible to control areas of up to 250 m2.
SF6 gas is five times heavier than air. Therefore breathing air can be displaced in case of higher concentrations of SF6 gas. there is a risk of suffocation.
The GA35 continually controls the ambient air by means of a non-dispersive infrared sensor. Samples are typically permanently taken near the gas tanks or gas-insulated switchgear on which large quantities of SF6 gas can escape within a short time.
Reliable warning
Loud alarm sound immediately warns against hazardous gas concentrations in the air. It is useful to mount the sampling box near the ground. This is because as the SF6 gas sinks due to the high molecular weight compared to the ambient air.
Particle filters in the sampling box and in the hose connection ensure that the measuring result is not falsified by impurities. The flow control of the GA35 sounds a failure alarm in case of a pump failure. This also occurs if the supply line is clogged in order to ensure reliable operation.
