Danfoss is pleased to introduce a range of fixed gas detectors for industrial refrigeration applications. The digital gas detectors are not only compliant, but they are also intuitive to work with, from initial specification to long term operation.
Next Generation Gas Detection—Plug and Play
The next generation of Danfoss gas detectors are based on a digital platform that delivers communication and integration options for operational reliability, calibration and maintenance procedures that enable service efficiency and regulatory compliance. Additionally, the intuitive user-interface provides accuracy to simplify operator handling that minimizes operational, settings, and calibration error risks. The portfolio ranges from basic to heavy duty models with sensor technology to match the specific refrigerant, application, and safety requirements of your refrigeration system.
Configuration and Installation
The analog or RS485 Modbus connection enables communication to a central system. Stand-alone gas detection units with integrated relays are available and can be connected to external systems directly to activate alarm devices.
To provide a plug and play solution, all gas detection units come factory pre-configured to match refrigerant and PPM setting requirements.
Calibration and Maintenance
For the calibration process, the range of Danfoss gas detection units have an integrated calibration routine. Gas calibration no longer requires potentiometers and multimeters, simplifying the process and reducing calibration time and the risk of errors. Pre-calibrated and factory certified sensor replacements are available across all sensor types for service ease.
Operational Reliability and Maintenance Efficiency
Several service features support maintenance planning such as service alerts—on the unit, the controller, or both—to indicate when service is due. The dedicated PC tool provides an overview of when each gas detection unit operates as well as generate field calibration reports to support safety documentation and procedures.
The Danfoss gas detection portfolio enables regulatory compliance with EN 378:2016, ISO 5149:2014, IIAR 2-2017, and ASHRAE 15:2016 while providing safety.

There have been gas detectors for as long as people have been aware of the harmful effects of gases in confined spaces. We’ve come a long way since the 19th and early 20th centuries. Now gas detection methods are much more precise – and much less harmful to animals.
