Refrigerant – Freon Gas Detectors

• CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons): R11, R12, R113, R115, R502
• HCFCs (Hydrochlorofluorocarbons): R21, R22, R123, R124, R401a, R402a, R408a, R409a
• HFCs (Hydrofluorocarbons): R32, R125, R134a, R15a, R143a, R152a, R404a, R407a, R410a, R507

Proper placement of the refrigerant-freon gas detector is crucial for optimal functionality.

• Height Placement: Since HFC and HCFC gases are heavier than air, the detector should be mounted 0.2 meters above floor level.
• Proximity to Leak Points: Position the detector near potential leak sources, ensuring it is in an area with minimal ventilation interference to accurately monitor the immediate environment.
• Coverage Area: One detector can cover approximately 50 m² in an enclosed space without obstacles.

• Selectivity: The detector’s ability to differentiate between various gases is limited.
• False Alarms: The presence of other substances, such as perfumes, hair spray, petrol fumes, solvents, cleaning agents, or cigarette smoke, may trigger false alarms. Consider these factors when positioning the detector.
