If systematic gas pipeline inspection is your business, Esders is currently offering two new professional tools to help improve performance and results. While some developers are forced to compromise with multi-purpose devices, the new HUNTER gas leak detector is optimized for just one application - hunting for gas leaks! And the advantages become clear as soon as it is used in practice. The sample gas guidance and sensor chamber have been developed using all our experience. And the interplay between the selected and moisture-compensated sensors has also resulted in unrivalled reaction times and stability of the measured values. Even the smallest gas leaks are safely detected and the gas detector receives reliable measurement values which are easy to evaluate.

A faster reaction time not only ensures that an alarm is triggered sooner. The alarm threshold may otherwise not be reached at all for small concentrations of gas and minor leaks. A „over run“ in the leaking area can therefore not be ruled out. The graph below clearly shows that a rapid reaction time (green curve for T90*=4s) results in a peak of > 9ppm, while the red curve (T90*=9s) doesn‘t even reach 5ppm. These calculations apply for a gas concentration spanning 1m which is covered at 4 km/h.

Documentation and optional Bluetooth data transfer
As monitoring work is always documented and carried out digitally, the HUNTER gas leak detector can also be supplied with an optional Bluetooth module. Even with Bluetooth transmission activated, the device offers over 10 hours of operating time. The Bluetooth function can also be used reliably under difficult conditions over distances over 2m.
The accompanying PC software reads out the measured value, the pump performance and the battery status and shows this data in a small window on the PC. Alarm thresholds can also be specified and controlled for a „PC alarm“. But the HUNTER can also document the measured values independently of the parallel transmission of the measured data. The maximum gas concentration is stored in a specified interval and can be evaluated using the PC1 software. The memory offers a capacity of over 250 operating hours with data storage every second.
