Crowcon IRmax Gas Detector

The Crowcon IRmax is an ultra-compact infrared (IR) fixed gas detector designed for the rapid and fail-safe detection of hydrocarbon gases and vapours. With exceptionally low power consumption, non-intrusive calibration options, and proven performance in offshore and harsh industrial environments, the IRmax provides reliable long-term gas monitoring with minimal maintenance requirements.

The detector incorporates STAY-CLIR™ optical technology, which prevents condensation-related faults without requiring heated optics, significantly reducing power consumption to just 1 watt.
