SANTA CLARA, CA and BALLERUP, DENMARK--(Marketwire - May 05, 2009) -
LumaSense
Technologies, a leading provider of temperature and gas sensing solutions,
announces the first in a new family of gas analysis instruments for use in
a wide variety of industrial applications, the Multi Gas Monitor - INNOVA
1316. The INNOVA 1316 is capable of measuring a customer-specified set of
up to five gases at a very affordable price.
The INNOVA 1316 is a cost-effective instrument based on a rugged, reliable,
and field-proven product platform. The instrument provides a highly
reliable, very accurate, multi-gas solution that can be used in numerous
applications, e.g.: Fermentation Monitoring, Refrigerant Leak Detection,
Landfill and/or Greenhouse Gas Monitoring, Biogas Monitoring, Stack Gas
Monitoring (CEMS), Inert gas blanketing in the Food Industry, monitoring of
hospital gases for occupational hygiene, and Industrial Process- and
Production-Control. The INNOVA 1316 incorporates our Andros® brand of
NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) gas bench which has no moving parts in the
optical path. LumaSense has many thousands of these units successfully
deployed for years in harsh and demanding environments. The instrument
measures up to five gases, including Oxygen, and is configured from an
assortment of available gas detection modules and sensors.
"LumaSense Technologies is pleased to address users in several markets with
a cost-effective instrument based on our field-proven NDIR technology
platform. The INNOVA 1316 is an excellent complement to the ultra-low
detection ranges of our existing line of photo-acoustic gas analyzers --
the INNOVA 1412 and INNOVA 1314," comments Jesper Krogdahl, managing
director for LumaSense Technologies A/S.
The INNOVA 1316 instrument has user-friendly software that communicates via
RS-232 or USB interfaces. Measured data can be shown on a PC as numeric
values or graphically for ease of interpretation. Large datasets can be
analyzed by our software or exported to other analytical software tools.
The software can accept up to four INNOVA 1316 instruments each
representing a separate sample point. The software is compatible with
Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows Server® 2003.
LumaSense Technologies designs and manufactures both the INNOVA brand of
end-user instruments and the Andros® brand of OEM gas benches. The NDIR
technology platform allows multiple gases to be measured with a single
optical assembly that can be configured for various tasks including
combustion monitoring, methane capture, fermentation and refrigerant leak
detection.
