What is it?
The Crowcon L-TEK P100 is a portable gas detector that uses TDLAS technology (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) to accurately measure methane and methane-containing gas concentrations. The device is designed for inspections in industries such as petroleum, chemical processing, mining, and urban gas. Thanks to its non-contact measurement method, it can detect leaks from a long distance, significantly enhancing operator safety in hazardous environments. Its compact and robust design makes the L-TEK P100 easy to carry and reliable in use.
How does it work?
TDLAS technology uses the absorption of specific laser light wavelengths by methane molecules to determine gas concentration. This enables highly accurate detection without interference from other gases or environmental factors.
L-TEK P100 smart benefits:
-
Long-distance monitoring: Lasers detect gas leaks directly from afar, unlike traditional methods that rely on gas diffusion to the sensor.
-
Low maintenance costs: Non-contact measurement prevents sensor poisoning, extending the device’s lifespan by 5 to 10 times and reducing maintenance expenses.
-
High accuracy, no false alarms: The single-mode laser targets the infrared absorption line of methane precisely, allowing accurate leak measurement without interference from other gases.
-
Fast response time: With response times in milliseconds, it is 100 times faster than traditional catalytic and electrochemical sensors, enabling rapid leak detection and quantification.
-
Long battery life: The L-TEK P100 lasts almost an entire shift without recharging, resulting in fewer interruptions and less need for backup devices compared to similar methane detectors.
What problems does it solve?
The L-TEK P100 provides a safe and efficient solution for detecting methane leaks in demanding industrial environments. It helps prevent unsafe situations and environmental damage by quickly and accurately locating gas leaks, while improving operational efficiency through ease of use, long battery life, and low maintenance requirements.
