FLIR Systems provides the FLIR GF304 refrigerant gas sensor video camera

The manufacturer of infrared thermal imaging cameras FLIR Systems has added the new FLIR GF304 gas sensor video camera to its catalog, specially developed for the detection of refrigerant gases.

FLIR Systems has brought the FLIR GF304 to the market, a gas sensor video camera that has been specially developed for the detection of refrigerant gases, without the need to interrupt the activity. Refrigerant gases are used worldwide in industrial refrigeration systems for production, food storage and retail. Refrigerant gas is also used in the chemical industry, pharmaceutical and automotive and air conditioning systems.

Maintaining an operational industrial refrigeration system is of great importance due to the value of refrigerated goods. Besides, Replacing or refilling gas can be an expensive exercise. Although refrigerant gases are of vital importance for many industries, It can also be hazardous to the environment and may be regulated by local regulations.. This is why it is of utmost importance to find leaks quickly and easily.. FLIR Systems makes it possible with the FLIR GF304 infrared camera for optical gas imaging.

FLIR GF304 reduces revenue loss by locating gas leaks, even the small ones, quickly and efficiently, and at a distance. It also reduces inspection time by being able to scan a wide area quickly without the need to interrupt the industrial process..

The refrigerant gases that the FLIR GF304 detects are R404A – R407C, R410A – R134A, R417A – R422A, R507A – R143a y R125 – R245fa. The most commonly used refrigerants are R404A, R410A, R407C and R134A.

Dual use

The FLIR GF304 can be used both to find gas leaks and for maintenance inspections where a temperature reading is required.. The FLIR GF304 displays the temperature of -20 °C up +500 ° C. High voltage inspections can be easily performed, low voltage, mechanical and many others with the FLIR GF304.

Wireless connectivity

Wireless connectivity via a USB Wi-Fi adapter allows you to connect the FLIR GF304 to smartphones or tablet PCs for wireless image transfer or remote camera control.

Besides, With the GF304 gas sensor video camera it is easy to explore areas of interest that are difficult to reach with conventional methods. The camera has an ergonomic design with a bright LCD screen and tilting viewfinder, making it easy to use the camera throughout the day.

High Sensitivity Mode

High Sensitivity Mode (HSM) It further increases the sensitivity of the camera so that even the smallest gas leaks can be detected. HSM feature makes the inspection process easier, Faster and more accurate for utility engineers and camera operators.

The FLIR GF304 contains a quantum infrared photodetector (QWIP) cooled and a cold bandpass filter that allow gases to be visualized in the frequency band of 8.0-8.6 micrometers, making clearly visible not only the refrigerant gases, but also the smallest of temperature differences.

The FLIR GF304 comes with a 14,5 ° fixed or with a lens 24 fixed °. A version with interchangeable lenses is also available, but requires a license from the US Department of State.
