MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS

REMORA is the ideal solution for any refrigerant leak detection scenario, from direct integration in HVAC/R equipment such as chillers, rooftop units or heat pumps, to environmental monitoring in cold rooms, machinery rooms or refrigerated transports as well as occupied spaces such as hotel rooms, hospitals or office buildings.


MARKET LEADING TECHNOLOGY

Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) has been the reference technology for refrigerant leak detection for over a decade, preferred to other available solutions in demanding and life-saving applications due to its unparalleled reliability: gas selectivity, poison immunity, fail safe operation, long term stability and extended lifetime (15+years).

NDIR BENEFITS

  • GAS SELECTIVITY (NO CROSS INTERFERENCES = NO FALSE ALARMS)
  • STABILITY = NO MAINTENANCE
  • FAIL-SAFE DETECTION = NO UNDETECTED RISKS
  • OPTICAL MEASUREMENT = IMMUNITY TO POISONING
  • RESISTANCE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
  • SMART SENSOR = EASE OF INTEGRATION

REMORA is based on a glass reinforced, flame retardant IP65 Polyamide enclosure, complete with integrated mounting holes. The gas inlet is protected by an oleophobic filter and oil spray cover. All this ensures maximum protection against shocks, dust and contamination in any possible environment and application scenario.

REMORA gas detection is based on NET range of NDIR sensors – by a distance, the most complete on the market today, covering over 40 different common refrigerants across multiple platforms and detection ranges. NDIR detection ensures unparalleled gas selectivity, poison immunity, fail safe operation, long term stability and extended lifetime (15+years). The sensing part is microprocessor based, providing a linearized and temperature compensated reading, as well as complete diagnostics information while running constant self-check and self-calibration routines.

NET has now over 10 years of experience in detecting refrigerants with NDIR technology and can offer the best integration support available.

The REMORA module has a high-level interface with industry-standard 4-20mA analogue output and MODBUS protocol on RS-485, as well as local Threshold, Watchdog and fault alarm outputs. The power supply rating is 12…24VDC. The unit can be customized with different interface options, such as PokaYoka Automotive connector, NET standard connector and cable.

All the above makes the Remora sensor an ideal solution for any refrigerant leak detection scenario
