Description
GX-K1 gas alarm with internal sensor
- audiovisual warning (LED and loud piezo sound)
- Detects a variety of fluorinated refrigerants (HFCs)
- R-22, R-32, R-404a, R-410a, R-1234yf and many other HFCs
- Cross-sensitivity to methane, butane, propane (R-290), ethanol, hydrogen and many more
- Ideal for the operation of private air conditioning systems
- Very simple sensor test with gas from lighter
- Sensor service life up to approx. 5 years, external sensor can be replaced by the user himself
- low-cost replacement possible with internal sensor from Elektrotechnik Schabus
Most coolants and refrigerants are toxic, many are flammable and others also have a high GWP (= global warming potential), i.e. they are extremely harmful to the climate.
A leak in the coolant line is usually noticed quickly, the cooling function is then no longer given, so thermometers are more helpful than coolant warning devices.
However, the leaking coolant, which evaporates quickly due to its properties, should not be inhaled under any circumstances.
This is precisely the purpose of the refrigerant sensors with the GX-K1 (int. sensor) and GX-K2 (ext. sensor) socket warning devices.
These are warning devices that are primarily designed to protect human health.
They are set very sensitively according to their purpose and also have cross-sensitivities to some flammable gases.
For example, they can easily be tested for their function with the depressurized gas of a standard lighter, because R-290 is nothing other than propane, which is often used as a refrigerant in heat pumps.
R-22, R-32, R-404a, R-410a, R-1234yf and many other HFCs can be detected with the GX-K1 and K2, with R-32 defined as the target gas.
The sensor also has cross-sensitivity to methane, butane, propane (R-290), ethanol, hydrogen and other hydrocarbons.
Possible applications- heat pumps
- air conditioning systems
- Coolants and refrigerants
- Fluorocarbon
