CO2Meter, a leading manufacturer of gas detection technologies, has launched a new oxygen sensor for its multi gas safety system, a versatile device that can monitor oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other inert gases in various applications. The new oxygen sensor is designed to meet the safety standards for cryogenic facilities, hospitals, food processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing operations, laboratories, and cold storage facilities.
The oxygen sensor uses zirconia sensing technology, which enables it to operate at temperatures as low as -50°C, and to last up to 10 years with minimal maintenance. The sensor also ensures accuracy and reliability, as it does not produce false alarms or cross-sensitivity to other gases. This means that the sensor can detect oxygen levels in the presence of nitrogen, helium, argon, ammonia, chlorine, propane, nitrous oxide, and many other gases.
The oxygen sensor is integrated into the multi gas safety system, which can support up to 12 sensors on one central display. The system also features audible and visual alarms, user-configurable settings, and field upgradability. The system is designed to protect staff and facilities from the hazards of oxygen deficiency, which can result from the use or leakage of cryogenic liquids or gases. For example, liquid nitrogen, which is widely used in industrial and medical applications, can expand 696 times as it vaporizes, displacing oxygen and creating a suffocation risk.
Josh Pringle, the executive vice president of CO2Meter, said that the oxygen sensor is a valuable addition to the company’s product line, which provides solutions for various gas safety monitoring needs. “We are excited to see the multi gas safety system gain continued recognition and further cement CO2Meter as a true leader in the gas safety space,” he said.
CO2Meter is a company that specializes in gas detection and monitoring solutions for various industries and applications. The company offers a range of products, including carbon dioxide meters, oxygen sensors, methane detectors, radon monitors, and more. The company also provides custom engineering and consulting services for gas detection projects. For more information, visit CO2Meter.com.
