Small-format refrigerant leak detector

SWEDEN: Samon has introduced a small-format refrigerant leak detector for OEM applications, typically for heat pumps and refrigerated display cases to provide evaporator-level detection.

Glaciär Micro is available in two versions to detect A2L refrigerants, including R454A, R454C, and R32, and A3 refrigerant R290.

Employing infrared sensor technology, the unit does not require maintenance and is equipped with auto-calibration of the zero point, protecting the measurement against offsets from baseline drift over time.

With a small footprint and low profile, measuring only 56 x 128 x 27mm and weighing just 75g, Glaciär Micro is designed for easy integration into equipment where space is limited. 

Communicating digitally using Modbus RTU over RS485, and with very low power consumption under 25mA, the refrigerant gas detector is simple to interface with a range of equipment control systems. It is IP65 rated.
