Description

The Dräger Polytron^® SE Ex … DQ sensing heads are gas detectors for the continuous monitoring of flammable gases and vapours in the ambient air. Measurement is based on the heat of reaction principle where a chemical reaction takes place in a catalytic bead (also known as a pellistor) inside the sensor.

By the heat of reaction principle, concentrations of flammable gases can be detected long before they tend to be ignitable, in other words: before they reach the lower explosive limit (LEL). The sensing heads are intended to be used in the harsh industrial environment and connected to a suitable central controller by means of a 3-core cable. Based on different sensor types Dräger offers three versions for different applications: On the one hand for the detection of up to 100 % LEL (where a special HT-version can be used at ambient temperatures up to 150 °C), on the other hand for the detection of very low concentrations in the range 0 … 10 % LEL (leak detection).
