RS058 RS058I LS734 MWIR Thermal Imaging Sensor Cooled For Gas Leak Detection

320x256 30μM MWIR Cooled Thermal Imagin Sensor For Visualizing Gas Leaks

C330M-G cooled infrared detector is specially developed for VOCs gas leak detection with the function of converting infrared radiation of target with 3.2~3.5μm wavelength into electrical signal. Its external mechanical interface, optical interface and electronic interface are commonly used and can be expanded. C330M-G can be widely used in atmospheric environment monitoring and gas leakage detection, pollutant discharge, chemical gas detection in petrochemical plants and refineries.

High Sensitivity
• High sensitive cooled infrared detector, quite efficient in application of low gas concentration and slow gas flow
• Effective leak detection includes Alkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols, Benzenes, Ketones and other gases

Designed for Requirements of Users
• Support 12V power supply for explosion-proof certification
• Various cryocoolers available for light weight, low power, long life and high reliability
• Customizable spectral range: 3μm~5μm MWIR (for more gas detection types: CO, CO2 etc.)

The C330M-G gas leak detection cooled MWIR thermal imaging detector is used for customers who have strong development ability. By integrating this cooled thermal sensor, the invisible VOCs (volatile organic compounds) can be detected and visualized so that further damage can be avoided. These gases includes 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.
