Crowcon proud to innovate, drive sector forwardįor Crowcon, becoming the first firm to incorporate MPS™ sensors into a fixed gas detector, and in doing so creating an innovative solution to multiple problems, is a matter of professional pride.Īs Will Allum (Fixed Product manager) of Crowcon explains, ‘By incorporating a cutting-edge MPS sensor into the Xgard Bright, we are creating a very substantial innovation and improvement in flammable gas detection. It also offers the possibility of huge savings for sectors that find pellistor sensors costly and prone to failure, but which have not, until now, had any realistic alternative. That spares users the cost of labour, peripherals and downtime, and means that workers no longer enter hazardous areas to check on the gas detectors.
They are self-monitoring and will automatically alert the user to any malfunction. What is more, MPS™ sensors cannot be poisoned and require no calibration or bump testing throughout their lifespan, which generally exceeds five years. This is referred to as the ‘True LEL™’ reading. Because the Xgard Bright’s MPS™ sensor is precise, does not drift and does not require a correction factor, it swiftly, clearly and correctly informs the user how close the ambient gas levels are to the lower explosive limit (LEL). In contrast, MPS sensors quickly detect multiple gases simultaneously with no need for in-field calibration. non-calibrated) gases, giving inaccurate readings that may trigger false alarms. In some environments this means that sensors must be continually changed, which is costly in terms of both money and downtime.Īlso, IR technology cannot detect hydrogen, and both IR and pellistor detectors sometimes incidentally detect other (i.e.
For example, both types of sensor require continual calibration and bump testing and pellistors may be damaged by contaminants (known as ‘sensor poisoning’) or harsh conditions. While these remain very helpful solutions, they are not always ideal. Until recently, anyone who needed to monitor flammable gases had to select either a traditional flame sensor detector with a pellistor calibrated for a specific gas (and multiple pellistors in multi-species environments), or an improved capability sensor using infra-red (IR) which also requires a separate sensor to be calibrated for each gas. MPS™ can detect up to 15 flammable gases (further gas species being characterised) at once, quickly and to a very high degree of accuracy. What is MPS™ and how is it innovative?ĭeveloped by of NevadaNano, the MPS™ sensors represent the new generation of flammable gas detectors. The company has just added the Nevada Nanotech MPS™ sensor to its Xgard Bright fixed gas monitor, which is set to drive up standards in gas detection and safety, while driving down the cost of ownership. Crowcon Detection Instruments Ltd., the Abingdon-based manufacturers of gas detection equipment, has unveiled an important innovation in fixed gas detection with the launch of the world’s first fixed detector with a Molecular Property Spectrometer ™ (MPS™) sensor.
