The Drager Polytron C300 is a sensing head specifically designed for permanently capturing the ammonia concentration in livestock environments.
The Polytron C300 with Sensor NH3-Al was the winner of the EuroTier 2016 Innovation Award, the outstanding award for new technologies and processes in livestock rearing.
Benefits:
The first sensor for the permanent measuring of ammonia with long-term stability
The Drager Polytron C300 with its integrated electro-chemical Drager Sensor NH3-AL allows for a continuous, long-term measuring of ammonia. The technology can withstand a permanent exposure to ammonia without drifting. The measuring accuracy compares to high-precision optical systems. Changes in temperature or air humidity, as well as other gases have no influence on the sensor’s sensitivity. The sensor does not require any calibration during its lifetime.
Bringing climate control to the next level
The Draeger Polytron C300 Gas Detector is specifically designed to be connected to standard climate computers in livestock housings, thus enabling a more efficient climate control. The device delivers a constant signal via a 0-10 V output that can be used for real-time monitoring of the ammonia concentration or be used as an additional steering parameter driving the ventilation output. The device can be expanded by a 4-20 mA output.
Better judgement on climate quality in livestock housings
When using the device, you get a better and more objective idea of the ammonia concentration throughout the entire rearing cycle. This additional parameter on the house’s climate quality enables for more precise actions improving the climate and controlling the level of ammonia as a toxic gas known for its negative influence on the livestock’s respiratory health and their overall performance.
