Gas Detection Systems: More than the sum of their components
Dräger has been setting new standards in gas measuring technologies for more than 70 years. Our modular systems easily integrate with existing and third-party components. We also offer expert planning assistance, maintenance and training. Read about how our fixed gas detection systems, technologies and services help keep your workers and your facilities protected.
Gas Detectors for Toxic Gases and Oxygen
Toxic gases and vapours or oxygen displacement pose a risk in different industrial facilities. We offer various detectors for toxic gases, which operate on tried-and-tested electrochemical, infrared or open-path detection principles and can detect more than 140 substances.
Gas Detectors for Flammable Gases and Vapours
Flammable gases and vapours can become sources of ignition when mixed with air. We offer different transmitters for flammable gases, which operate on recognised infrared, catalytic-bead or open-path detection principles so you can take appropriate action in time.
Flame Detectors
As an ideal solution to the growing demand for flame detection in industrial applications, flame detectors are also increasingly used alongside gas detection equipment as part of a safe solution. Beside the established IR, UV and UVIR detection, Dräger offers the innovative Multi-channel IR Visual Flame Detection flame detectors.
Controllers
The controller is the hub of a gas detection system. This is where all of the information goes. The controller analyses the signal from the transmitter and triggers alarms and other countermeasures if necessary. Our gas monitoring systems set new standards in matters of reliability and user-friendliness.
Sensors for Gas Detection Systems
The sensor is the most important component of a gas detector. The gas detector sensor converts the measured variable, e.g. gas concentration, into an electrical signal using either chemical or physical processes depending on the gas sensor type. Dräger offers a wide range of different gas sensors for fixed gas detection systems.
System Components for Gas Detection Systems
We offer a range of different system components for analysis purposes and for optimising and maintaining your gas detection system, from software and visualisation panels to sampling units.
Gas Detection Tubes
Gas detection tubes
Dräger-Tubes make countless applications possible which require measurement results to be instantly available. Especially when individual measurements or low measurement frequencies are sufficient, tubes have advantages compared to electronic equipment. They are comparatively inexpensive and very easy to use.
