Krea KR-DT6 Gas Leak Detector, Made in Italy

The Krea KR-DT6 series gas detector is a fixed gas detector specifically designed for use in harsh or hazardous environments, featuring a metallic case .

This design focuses on durability and high resistance to environmental and mechanical factors, making it suitable for heavy industrial applications and environments that require explosion protection.

Description and features of the KR-DT6 detector (metal casing)

1. Design and structure:

• The metallic enclosure: the most prominent feature, as it provides superior protection against mechanical shocks, corrosion, and vibration.
• Explosion-proof/Flameproof: In industrial environments, a metal casing usually means that the detector is designed to be explosion-proof (Ex d) or intrinsically safe (Ex i) , allowing it to be installed in hazardous areas.
• High protection rating (IP Rating): It is expected to have a high protection rating (such as IP65 or higher) to ensure its resistance to dust, water, and liquid jets.

1. Detection function:

• Gas type: Detectors in this series are typically available in different models to detect a wide range of gases:
• Flammable gases: such as methane (LNG/CNG), propane, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), usually using catalytic bead or infrared (IR) sensors.
• Toxic gases: such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia, usually require electrochemical sensors .
• Operating principle: It works by continuously and accurately measuring the concentration of gas in the air.

1. Outputs:

• Standard analog signal: It typically sends a signal Milliampere-amps (mA) to the central control panel (such as KREA KR-CT series) to display the gas concentration in real time.
• Local relay outputs (optional): Some models may include built-in relay outputs to activate local audible/visual alarms or a small shut-off valve without the need for a central control panel.

1. Environmental use:

• Wide operating temperature range: Designed to operate effectively in wide temperature ranges (-20°C to +50°C or more), which is essential in outdoor industrial installations.

Ideal use:

Perfectly suited for: refineries, petrochemical plants, hazardous material storage areas, large boiler rooms, offshore platforms, and any industrial areas requiring robust and explosion-proof equipment.

Important note: Always check the technical datasheet to determine the exact characteristics of the sub - model (e.g., KR-DT6-M for methane detection, or KR-DT6-C for carbon monoxide detection) to confirm explosion resistance certifications and the specific gas type.
