Ammonia Gas Detection System for Refrigeration Plant

Industries like food, beverage, and chemical factories use tons of Ammonia for refrigeration purposes. Ammonia is a commonly used refrigerant in many refrigeration units due to its low cost, high energy efficiency, and negligible environmental impact. However, its high concentrations can directly be lethal. While Ammonia is a toxic gas, it is also flammable.

Due to the huge amounts of Ammonia in storage, these industries require Ammonia gas leak detection systems for the safety and protection of personnel and property and to alert adjacent facilities and neighborhoods of a gas release.

Since its inception, Ambetronics Engineers Pvt. Ltd. has always been an expert in detecting Ammonia gas leaks and mitigating the risk associated with it.

The electrochemical sensors used by Ambetronics Gas Detectors are highly accurate even at the high humidity levels of freezers. The measurement ranges of ammonia gas sensors vary from 0 to 100 PPM, 0–1000 PPM or 0–100 % LEL, depending on the client’s requirement.

Ambetronics has a very efficient alarming system that alerts the authorities and workers whenever the leak concentration goes beyond the permissible exposure limits (TWA: 25 PPM & STEL: 35PPM).

Apart from giving alert signals, the Ambetronics Gas Detectors are also configured with Ambetronics Gas Monitors whose relay output automatically operates the exhaust fans and thereby ventilates the cold rooms.

This not only ensures a controlled and safe atmosphere inside the cold room but also alerts the workers before entering the room.

With Ambetronics the root-cause and so the preventive measures can be taken care of by:

ü Quickly responding to the alert signals

ü Automated ventilation

ü Immediate evacuation of personal from the site

ü Taking disaster management actions
