Users or suppliers of refrigeration equipment to the European market will be very aware of the progressing legislation driving the transition to refrigerant gases with a lower GWP. The European legislation in 2020 outlaws the usage of refrigerants with a GWP over 2500, therefore, speeding the progressive change from the employment of high GWP refrigerant gases to the new lower GWP gases like R290, R1234, CO2 and ammonia.

The SGX Sensortech refrigerant gas sensors, available now from TTI Europe, use infrared technology which provides a simple low maintenance solution for employment in refrigerant gas leakage detection and flammable Lower Explosive Limit monitoring solutions for hazardous areas.

These new sensors are used in industrial safety - detection of flammable gases - oil and gas, process industry; indoor air quality; mining; and industrial automation and control.
