Cooled Infrared Detector for Optical Gas Imaging

The cooled infrared detectors used in optical gas imaging (OGI) are specifically engineered for gas leak detection. They convert medium- and long-wavelength infrared radiation from targets into electrical signals. These detectors feature common and expandable mechanical, optical, and electronic interfaces, making them highly adaptable for various integration needs. Their typical applications include environmental monitoring, gas leak detection, emission tracking, and chemical gas analysis in petrochemical plants and refineries.
Leveraging advanced sensitive materials such as Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) and Type II Superlattice (T2SL), these detectors deliver outstanding sensitivity and precision across a broad range of gas detection tasks. The complementary strengths of MCT and T2SL technologies ensure consistent high performance over diverse infrared wavelengths. This results in exceptional responsiveness to target gases, enabling accurate detection even at low concentrations, and providing real-time visual imaging of gas leaks to support rapid assessment and timely intervention.
These detectors are suitable for a wide variety of gas detection scenarios, including:
Detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in petrochemical settings to maintain safety and regulatory compliance.
Continuously monitoring carbon monoxide (CO) leaks in industrial environments to protect both personnel and equipment.
Tracking industrial exhaust emissions from heating furnaces and kilns operating under extreme temperature conditions.
Identifying sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and ammonia (NH3) gases across diverse industrial applications.
