Bacharach Adds R-514A Refrigerant Gas to its NDIR Sensor Products
Targeted as a replacement for R123
NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. — Bacharach Inc. adds R-514A to its gas library of detectable refrigerants as chiller applications within the refrigeration industry demand refrigerants with low-global warming potential (GWP). Bacharach’s proprietary non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology allows its instrumentation to measure levels as low as 1 ppm of refrigerant, while maintaining high accuracy and enabling the early detection of refrigerant leaks.
“The calibration curve for R-514A has now been added into the software for our multi-zone and single-zone continuous refrigerant monitors as well as our portable spot leak detection devices. Our proprietary sensor technology allows us to create these curves quickly to keep up with the development of new and better refrigerants. This enables the precise measurement of all refrigerants, including the new products like R-514A, to maintain the high standards expected from Bacharach’s market leading sensor technology,” said Tom Burniston, product manager, fixed instruments. “Bacharach’s NDIR sensors allow for fast response times, long sensor life, high accuracy, repeatability, minimal maintenance, and no cross sensitivity,” he said.
