- PPM zgodnje opozorilo (NDIR) in/ali 0–100 % LFL/LEL
- 4–20 mA / RS-485 / releji
- Ideal for VRF/VRV rooms & hotel guestrooms
Automotive A/C — A2L/A1
- NDIR ppm for process/comfort; %LEL for interlocks
- Integrate at charge stations, test booths, bays
- Modbus for line interlocks & traceability
What “AC Freon” Means
In everyday language, “Freon” often means any AC refrigerant. Technically, Freon™ is a trademark historically used for CFC/HCFC/HFC products (e.g., R12/R22). This page uses “AC Freon leak sensor” in the common sense—electronic fixed sensors that detect refrigerant leaks in air-conditioning systems.

How Infrared (NDIR) Refrigerant Sensors Work
| Stage | What Happens | Korist |
|---|---|---|
| Emission | IR source emits broadband light through the gas sample. | Reliable optical excitation |
| Filtering | Narrowband optical filter targets refrigerant absorption bands; a second channel serves as reference. | Gas selectivity & drift compensation |
| Detection | Photodetectors measure attenuated signal vs. reference; MCU computes concentration. | Stable ppm / %LEL output |
| Compensation | Temperature/pressure & baseline routines (e.g., ABC optional) correct drift. | Long intervals between calibrations |
Tipične aplikacije AC
Split/VRF indoor units & hotel rooms
Mount low (~150–300 mm above floor) near indoor units, under beds/sofas in hotel rooms, and other pooling points. Pre-alarm → fresh-air purge; main alarm → fan/indoor-unit shutdown.
Central AC air handlers & mechanical rooms
Place near coils, expansion valves, and floor low spots/sumps; use IP-rated enclosures. Integrate with BMS to start purge fans at pre-alarm and trip systems at main alarm.
Line sets, evaporator/condensing sections
Monitor around brazed joints, service valves, and manifolds; avoid strong supply streams that bypass the sensor.
Automotive service bays & EOL test
Position near charging/recovery stations and low-lying areas. Use ppm early warning plus %LFL safety interlocks (beacon/horn/vent).
Tehnološke možnosti
| tehnologija | Najboljše za | Razpon | Prednosti | Premisleki |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NDIR (infrardeči) | A1 ppm; A2L ppm/%LEL | ppm → %LEL | High selectivity & stability; not O₂-dependent; long life | Zaščitite pred močno kondenzacijo/prahom (filtri/ohišje) |
| MOS (polprevodnik) | A2L/A3 %LEL | 0–100 % LEL | Hiter odziv; robusten; stroškovno učinkovito | Možna navzkrižna občutljivost; priporoča se periodična kalibracija |
| Katalitična kroglica | Splošni ogljikovodiki (A3) | 0–100 % LEL | Razvita tehnologija za vnetljive snovi | Potrebuje O₂; dovzetni za strupe (silikoni/svinec) |
Placement & Setpoints — Good Practice for AC
- Montažna višina: Most AC refrigerants are heavier than air ⇒ mount low; confirm with room airflow.
- Pokritost: ~5–10 m polmera na senzor v odprtih prostorih; dodajte enote blizu ventilov/sklepov in nizkih žepov.
- Stopnje alarmov: A2L/A3: pre-alarm ≈25% LFL; main ≈50% LFL. A1: ppm tiers (e.g., 1,000–5,000 ppm) per design spec.
- Zapore: Pre-alarm → ventilation/start purge; Main → equipment shutdown + horn/beacon/BMS notification.

Pogosta vprašanja — Infrardeči (NDIR) senzorji puščanja hladilnega sredstva
Is “AC Freon” the same as refrigerant?
In common use, yes. Freon™ is a trademark historically used for certain refrigerants; we use the term generically here to match search intent.
Do I need ppm or %LEL measurement for AC?
Use ppm (NDIR) for early warning and comfort/process protection. Use %LEL (MOS/NDIR-LEL) to drive safety interlocks for A2L/A3 gases (e.g., R32/R454B).
Where should sensors be installed in rooms?
Near indoor units, valves, joints, and floor-level accumulation points; avoid strong supply air. In hotels, place low and accessible for maintenance.
Kako pogosto je potrebna kalibracija?
12–24 months is typical with periodic bump tests; harsher environments may need more frequent checks.
Can Winsen customize for OEM rollouts?
Yes—ranges, firmware, connectors, harnesses, housings, and branding are customizable for volume programs.
