How BW Flex Detects NO and NO2
In industrial safety, detecting harmful gases is critical. The BW Flex is a smart and user-friendly device. It identifies nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which are common in industrial settings. But how does it work? Let’s find out.
Why NO and NO2 Matter
- NO (Nitric Oxide): This colourless gas is found in combustion processes. It can reduce oxygen levels, making breathing harder.
- NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide): This reddish-brown gas has a sharp odour. It is highly toxic and can cause lung irritation, even in small amounts.
How BW Flex Detects These Gases
Electrochemical Sensor Technology
The BW Flex uses electrochemical sensors to detect NO and NO2. These sensors have electrode-coated membranes that react with the gases, creating an electrical current.
- NO Detection: The sensor generates a current through an oxidation reaction.
- NO2 Detection: The gas reacts differently, producing an accurate ppm reading.
Smart Sensor Calibration
Gas sensors can drift over time. To stay accurate, BW Flex has automated calibration reminders. It also works with docking stations for quick tests.
Real-Time Alerts & Connectivity
- Visual, audible, and vibrating alerts warn users of danger.
- A large, easy-to-read display shows gas levels in real-time.
- Wireless connectivity allows for data logging and remote monitoring.
Built for Tough Environments
- Lightweight & Durable: Built to last without adding extra weight.
- Long Battery Life: Runs through long shifts without interruption.
- Customisable Settings: Adjust alarms based on industry needs.
Why BW Flex?
The BW Flex is more than a gas detector. It’s a trusted safety tool. With precise sensors, real-time tracking, and a rugged design, it helps protect against NO and NO2 exposure.
If you work in a hazardous environment, BW Flex gives you confidence in your air quality.
