Refrigerant is an essential component of refrigeration units, and its quality and performance directly impact cooling efficiency and service life. As traditional refrigerants contribute to increasingly serious environmental issues such as global warming and ozone depletion, R32 and R290, as newer, more environmentally friendly refrigerants, are seeing growing demand among major brands and in the air conditioning sector.

    However, R32 is flammable, and R290 carries the risk of explosion. Improper installation, refrigerant leaks, and exposure to open flames can result in serious consequences, including explosions. Furthermore, leaks of these colorless and odorless refrigerants can be difficult to detect, posing a significant safety hazard.

    Current sensor technologies for detecting flammable refrigerant leaks primarily include NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) and metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) technologies. In contrast, NDIR refrigerant leak detection sensors utilize the specific wavelengths of infrared light absorbed by combustible gases. These sensors offer advantages such as excellent gas selectivity, high detection accuracy, excellent stability, and a long service life. NDIR detection is becoming increasingly popular for refrigerant leak detection.

    Tensensor's GRT510 infrared refrigerant detection module utilizes the non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) principle for refrigerant detection. The module employs a multi-gas compensation algorithm to detect multiple gas concentrations (R454B/R32/R290) and incorporates multi-dimensional compensation mechanisms for temperature, humidity, and pressure. Furthermore, to facilitate user applications, the GRT510 offers customization of components, hardware, and software to meet diverse project requirements.
