The DVLS Simply, Smart Sensor provides a safe technique to detect a hydrogen leak in GC instruments. By constantly monitoring the hydrogen concentrations and automatically switching to an inert gas when the LEL is reached, the Simply, Smart Sensor ensures safety.
Monitor Hydrogen in GC Oven and detect hydrogen leaks
The DVLS³ Simply, Smart Sensor is installed in the GC oven for continuous monitoring of the hydrogen concentrations in the oven air. The LCD screen of the external controller displays the measured gas concentration. If the sensor detects a user defined hydrogen concentration, typically between 25% and 50% LEL (equal to 1%-2% by Vol. hydrogen), it will ensure the safety of the laboratory staff by several means:
1. The LCD screen of the sensor controller starts flashing and the controller transmits an acoustic signal.
2. The sensor software alerts the lab staff by:
– showing a red status on the dashboard
– sending an alarm message by e-mail, text (SMS), Growl or Prowl
3. The sensor controller automatically switches the carrier gas to an inert gas and sends an automatic stop signal to the GC.
Applications
Due to the unique design of the DVLS3 Simply, Smart Sensor you can combine up to four sensors in one controller. For example use four sensors for several GC’s or connect several sensors to one GC. The sensor is compatible with all GC brands. Next to the hydrogen leak detection Da Vinci Laboratory Solutions offers multiple sensors dedicated to the detection of:
* Hydrogen (H2)
* Temperature
* Barometric Pressure
* Level (liquid) weight
