Description
Petrol Vapour Detector – explosion proof, fume LEL sensor transmitter – ATEX, SIL 2, Zone 1, 2
online, continuous detection and monitoring of LEL (flammability) of petrol vapour in air or gas stream ducts, flameproof / explosion proof certified Zone 1, 2 – ATEX, SIL 2, with / without display, contact relays, flashing alarm LEDs, RS485 serial interface with Modbus RTU protocol
Petrol Vapour is highly flammable or explosive gas / fuel. With small energy / spark, it can create explosion, damaging millions and millions of assets and human life. Besides, being explosion, petrol vapour or fumes can be toxic to biological life causing:
- difficulty breathing.
- throat pain or burning.
- burning in the esophagus.
- abdominal pain.
- vision loss.
Petrol Vapour Detector or fume sensor transmitter or detector is high accuracy, reliable, performance oriented, robust, industrial grade, flameproof or explosion proof instrument for LEL concentration detection. The instrument can be installed for flammability level or LEL detection of petrol vapour concentration or leakage in all industrial and commercial area eg. oil & gas refinery, petrochemical plants, fuel bunker, petrol stockyard, oil tankers etc.
The detector can be installed at walls, surfaces or in ducts for monitoring in gas or air sample. It is ATEX EEx’d’ certified with SIL 2 safety integrity level for hazardous area installation Zone 1 and 2.
The sensor transmitter offers linear, proportional analog output in industry standard current signals, over measuring range of 0 ~ 100% LEL (lower explosive limit). The detector works on highly sensitive catalytic bead based pellistor sensor cell, with low response time. It has unique feature of auto diagnostic watch dog with zero point tracking feature. Due to its 10-bit microprocessor based control unit, it offer high accuracy over long term. The detector is also equipped with sintered filter with flashback arrestor for enhanced safety.
