What is an AC Gas Leak Sensor?
An AC gas leak sensor is a fixed, electronic detector that continuously measures refrigerant concentration around air-conditioning equipment and automatically drives alarms ir interlocks (ventilation, fan/indoor-unit shutdown). It complements handheld detectors used by technicians for pinpoint leak search.

Technology Options
| Technologijos | Geriausias | Diapazonas | Privalumai | Svarstymai |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NDIR (infraraudonųjų spindulių) | A1 ppm; A2L ppm/%LEL | ppm → %LEL | High selectivity & stability; not O₂-dependent; long life | Protect from heavy condensation/dust (filters/enclosure) |
| MOS (puslaidininkis) | A2L/A3%LEL | 0–100% LEL | Fast response; robust; cost-effective | Cross-sensitivities possible; periodic calibration advised |
| Katalizinis karoliukas | General hydrocarbons (A3) | 0–100% LEL | Mature tech for flammables | Requires O₂; susceptible to poisons (silicones/lead) |
Typical AC Applications
Split/VRF indoor units & hotel rooms
Mount low (~150–300 mm above floor) near indoor units and pooling points. Pre-alarm → fresh-air purge; main alarm → fan/indoor-unit shutdown.
Central AC (AHU/MAU) & mechanical rooms
Place near coils, expansion valves, and floor low spots/sumps; use IP-rated enclosures and BMS interlocks.
Line sets, condenser & evaporator sections
Monitor around brazed joints, service valves, manifolds; avoid strong supply streams that could bypass the sensor.
Heat pumps & general HVAC equipment
For A2L systems, use %LFL tiers (≈25% pre-alarm; ≈50% main) to trigger ventilation and safe shutdown.

| Supply | 12–24 VDC (kiti pagal pageidavimą) |
| Eksploatavimo sąlygos | –20…+50 °C; 15–95 % santykinis oro drėgnumas nekondensuojantis (priklauso nuo modelio) |
Placement & Setpoints — Good Practice
- Montavimo aukštis: Most AC refrigerants are heavier than air ⇒ mount low; confirm with on-site airflow.
- Aprėptis: ~5–10 m radius per sensor in open rooms; add units near valves/joints and low pockets.
- Alarms: A2L/A3: pre-alarm ≈25% LFL; main ≈50% LFL. A1: ppm bands (e.g., 1,000–5,000 ppm) per design spec.
- Užraktai: Pre-alarm → ventilation; Main → equipment shutdown + beacons/horns/BMS events.

FAQs — Infrared (NDIR) Refrigerant Leak Sensors
How many sensors do I need per room?
Plan ~5–10 m radius coverage per sensor in open rooms. Add units near indoor units, valves, joints, and floor-level pockets where gas may accumulate. Irregular layouts typically need more sensors.
What alarm thresholds should I use?
For A2L/A3 gases: pre-alarm ≈25% LFL to start ventilation; main ≈50% LFL to trip equipment and trigger beacons/horns. For A1 gases, use ppm bands (e.g., 1,000–5,000 ppm) per project spec and risk assessment.
Where should the sensor be mounted?
Most AC refrigerants are heavier than air; mount low (≈150–300 mm above floor) near likely leak sources and pooling points. Avoid strong supply air that could bypass the sensor. Probe/duct versions can monitor return air.
How often should I calibrate and bump-test?
Typical calibration is every 12–24 months with periodic bump tests (quarterly/biannual). Dusty or humid sites, or areas with cleaning aerosols, may need more frequent checks and filter maintenance.
Which technology should I choose: NDIR or MOS?
Choose NDIR for ppm early warning and long-term stability; choose MOS or IR-LEL for %LEL safety interlocks on A2L/A3 systems. Many sites use both tiers for redundancy.
Can Winsen customize for OEM/volume programs?
Yes—ranges, firmware, Modbus mapping, connectors/harnesses, housings (IP rating), labels/branding, and packaging can be tailored for volume deployments.
