AMMONIA
Ammonia in pure form is known as anhydrous ammonia. It is a colorless highly irritating gas with a sharp suffocating odor. It dissolves easily in water to form ammonium hydroxide solution which can cause irritation and burns. Ammonia gas is easily compressed and forms a clear, colorless liquid under pressure.
About 80% of the ammonia produced in industry is used in agriculture as fertilizer. Ammonia is also used as a refrigerant gas, to purify water supplies, and in the manufacture of plastics, explosives, fabrics, pesticides, dyes and other chemicals. It is found in many household and industrial-strength cleaning solutions.
Ammonia gas is lighter than air and will rise, so that generally it does not settle in low-lying areas. However, in the presence of moisture, ammonia can form vapors that are heavier than air. These vapors can spread along the ground or other low-lying areas.
Ammonia gas detectors are an essential part of workplace safety because the strong-smelling ammonia gas can become toxic when exposed to air. Continuous monitoring of ammonia concentration in the air lessens the risk of skin, eye, nose, and throat irritation and may even help prevent respiratory failure.
Proper placement of the ammonia gas sensor is important for it to be effective. Since ammonia gas is lighter than air, it will typically rise to the ceiling when it is released. Placing ammonia gas sensors at ceiling height will help ensure that leaks are detected before they reach dangerous levels. If they are placed too low in the room, the ammonia gas sensors will take much longer to detect the gas, allowing it to accumulate and cause respiratory irritation.
When installing ammonia gas sensors for fixed gas detection, it is important to avoid placing the detectors near windows, vents, or fans. Installation near drafts or circulating air will prevent the sensor from getting an accurate reading, making the device less effective. Humidity and temperature are also important, as hot or humid conditions can affect the accuracy of readings. If your operating environment is humid or the ammonia gas sensor will be exposed to high temperatures, the use of protective heat shields may be required.
For effective ammonia gas detection, you also need to have enough sensors to provide enough coverage for your room size. Our experts can help you determine how many ammonia gas sensors you need based on your facility size, ammonia equipment size, and type of sensor selected.
For Economical applications Husaini Supplies Weatherproof ABS based Instruments for Ammonia Detection as shown above.
These detectors are not only Non Corrosive in nature but also Non Reactive due to its properties. They come in various sizes and can also be customized as per customer’s requirement. Ammonia Gas Detectors Can be supplied for Wall Mounted as well as Pipe Mounted for Single, Dual, Four and Multi Channel Scanner Type Detectors.
We also Supply for various Portable/Hand held version for monitoring for short span of time or in places where it’s difficult for a human to visit. They can take a sample and monitor the Ammonia levels any time.
As the Technology is advancing we have also introduced IOT in our detectors for further processing the sensing data on systems. The sensed values can be logged on different devices and can be viewed anytime later in future for better understanding the field/plant nature.
