320x256 30μm Cooled IR Camera Module for Optical Gas Imaging

320x256 / 30μm Cooled Infrared Camera Module with 55mm Lens for VOCs Gas Leak Detection

Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs, are gases that are emitted into the air from products or processes. Some are harmful by themselves, including some that cause cancer. In addition, they can react with other gases and form other air pollutants after they are in the air.

GAS330 is a cooled infrared thermal imaging module specially designed for gas leakage detection. It integrates 320x256 / 30µm MCT cooled MWIR infrared detector and utilizes spectral wavelength filtering technology to visualize the invisible VOCs that cannot be seen by naked eyes.

Camera manufacturers can design their own gas leak detection camera based on this module easily and efficiently.

The GAS330 gas leak detection thermal imaging camera is used for visiualizing the invisible VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and detecting gas leakage such as: Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane, Pentane, Hexane, Heptane, Octane, Ethylene, Propylene, Isoprene, Methanol, Ethanol, Butanone, Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, Ethylbenzene etc.

1.What is the difference between uncooled and cooled IR detectors?

There are currently two types of infrared thermal imaging sensors on the market, cooled and uncooled.

Uncooled IR detector operates at ambient temperature. It is based on semi-conductor industry and thus usually can be fabricated in big volume with small size and low cost. Uncooled IR detectors are widely used in portable/handheld/mobile devices.

Cooled IR detectors are packaged in a unit that keeps them at an extremely low temperature which shall be supported by a cryo cooler. They are much bigger, more expensive and less reliable than uncooled sensors, mainly due to the complex cooling systems they require. However, the cooled systems are incredibly sensitive and usually work with long focal length optics to achieve long range mission.
