The need for IR CO2…
 CO2 measurement by O2
displacement? The answer is NO!
 Facts:






CO2 is heavier than oxygen
TWA value CO2 = 5000 ppm (0.5% Vol)
0.5% CO2 = 0.1% O2 displacement (20.8% of Air)
O2 alarm = 19.5%
20.8 - 19.5 = 1.3% O2 * 100/20.8 = 6.2% Air
19.5% O2 = 6.2% CO2 (= 62,000 ppm)
 When O2 alarm triggers, CO2
concentration can be lethal
(>62,000 ppm) in the breathing zone!

The need for IR LEL or IR Vol%…
 Crude Oil
 Heavier hydrocarbons (HCs) in inert atmosphere
 Difficult to detect with catalytic sensor
 (Petro-) Chemical Industries
 Comb. gases in presence of high conc. H2S
 HCs
 Welding & cutting pipelines (N2 purging)
 Shipping
 General HCs (cargo inertization with CO2)
 Fiberglass & cabling
 Combustible gases in presence
of silicones, silicates (poisoning)

[FAQs]
 How many Echem sensors
can be installed?
 2 toxic gas sensors and 1 oxygen sensor
 Can the user change the sensors?
 Yes, with the new ORIONplus Link software;
MSA service training is highly recommended!
 Can the Galaxy Test System be used?
 Not for now, for various reasons (fitting,
software, corrosive gases, etc.)

[more FAQs]
 Can an ‘exotic’ sensor or IR LEL be
installed in the existing ORIONplus?
 No, too cumbersome and costly
 Why is the IR sensor different?
 Protects the lamp and sensor against
corrosive gases (sapphire window). Life time
of IR sensor will decrease dramatically
without this protection
 Why is the inlet changed?
 Current inlet reacts with corrosive gases

ORION®plus IR Detector
[more FAQs]
 Will the IR LEL detect Hydrogen?
 No, H2 is ‘invisible’ to IR light (no absorption)
 Can the 20L response factors be
applied on the IR sensor?
 No, the IR technology works differently, is
more specific to the gas
 Why would I need 50 Vol% CO2??
 This is mainly used in the process industry
