The Dräger Polytron® SE Ex … DD sensing heads are cutting-edge gas detectors designed for real-time monitoring of flammable gases and vapors in the air. They operate based on the heat of reaction principle, where a chemical reaction within a catalytic bead (pellistor) inside the sensor generates heat, triggering the detection process.
• Dräger Polytron SE Ex
• Eight housing variants
• Comprehensive explosion protection
• Measuring signal
• Pellistor sensors type DD
• Environmental conditions
• Poison resistance
• Very short response times
• Measuring function for explosion protection
for the continuous monitoring of flammable gases and vapors in the ambient air. The measurement is based on the heat of reaction principle, where a chemical reaction takes place in a catalytic bead (so-called pellistor) inside the sensor. The sensing heads are intended to be used in the harsh industrial environment and connected to a suitable central controller by means of a 3-core cable.
