Hard plastic case, NiMH power stick, 12V and AC adapter/recharger, tip filters and infrared cell included. Used to detect leaking combustion gases/carbon dioxide that may find their way into the cooling system when a head gasket blows or a cylinder block cracks. If the detector has an alarm function, ensure that it is activated and set to an appropriate threshold.

These include power plants, breweries, beverage manufacturing facilities, chemical plants, and food processing plants. Once you have completed the bump test, take the CO2 Leak Detector and scan the area of interest, moving about 2 seconds per inch. Ensure Safety: Before conducting any tests, ensure that you are in a well-ventilated area or wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) if necessary.Checks for cracked cylinder heads and blockages, blown head gaskets etc in petrol and diesel engines. If there is CO2 in the gases it will turn the fluid green indicating a blown head gasket or similar issue.

Thanks to the universal adapter with a wide measuring range (25-55 mm), we can check among other things: cars, trucks, road tractors, excavators, motorcycles, forklifts. Thus, it is important for an engineer to detect any leaks before they result in a dangerous level that can cause asphyxiation, or combustible concentration. For those needing to detect higher concentrations of CO2, our 0-100% Carbon Dioxide Gas Analyzer is the more appropriate option.A CO2 leak detector should be used with an appropriate pinpoint probe, built-in pump (to increase detection speed), and display CO2 concentration in ppm. When CO2 is drawn through the sampling cell by the D-TEK CO2's internal pump, some of the infrared energy is absorbed by the CO2 . The lifespan of a CO2 (carbon dioxide) NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) sensor last between 5 to 15 years.
