Dräger Infrared (IR) Sensors represent state-of-the-art gas detection technology. Unlike traditional catalytic sensors, these IR sensors remain immune to common poisons like silicones and hydrogen sulfide, delivering consistently high-accuracy measurements in harsh or oxygen-free atmospheres.
These sensors boast a long service life—anticipated at approx. 8 years—and low drift, paired with a 12-month calibration interval, translating to significantly lower operational costs.
Designed in-house by Dräger, they are optimally engineered for seamless integration with Dräger’s portable gas monitors (e.g., X-am series), maximizing performance in demanding environments.
