introduction

Ammonia gas detectors are an essential part of workplace safety because the strong-smelling ammonia gas can become toxic when exposed to air. Continuous monitoring of ammonia concentration in the air lessens the risk of skin, eye, nose, and throat irritation and may even help prevent respiratory failure.

Fixed gas detection utilizes electromechanical sensors that feature a liquid electrolyte. As ambient air passes through the sensor, electrodes within the electrolyte produce a current that digitizes the flow to produce a measured value that is transmitted as an analog signal. When levels reach a concentration higher than what is allowed per safety regulations, the ammonia gas sensor triggers a warning signal or alarm.

Ammonia monitoring advantages

Ammonia gas detector module is an electrochemical ammonia sensor module independently developed by JXCT, which is mainly used to detect the concentration of ammonia gas. It adopts three-electrode structure design and uses electrochemical method to measure the concentration of NH3.

1.The sensor is low power and cost effective, providing convenient 4-20mA output.

2.The product has variable amplifier circuit, high resolution, high sensitivity.

3.The product supports a variety of interfaces including analog and digital quantities.

4.The sensor contains noise removal processing and temperature compensation processing.

Proper Ammonia Gas Sensor Placement for Effective Gas Detection

Proper placement of the ammonia gas detector is important for it to be effective. Because of its lighter-than-air nature, ammonia usually rises to the ceiling when it is released. Ammonia sensors placed at ceiling height can detect leaks before they reach dangerous levels. If they are placed too low in a room, the ammonia sensor will take longer to detect the gas, allowing it to build up and cause respiratory irritation.

When installing ammonia gas detectors for fixed gas detection, it is important to avoid placing the detectors near windows, vents, or fans. Installation near drafts or circulating air will prevent the sensor from getting an accurate reading, making the device less effective. Humidity and temperature are also important, as hot or humid conditions can affect the accuracy of readings. If your operating environment is humid or the ammonia gas sensor will be exposed to high temperatures, the use of protective heat shields may be required.
