Device technology GasCar Laser HUNTER
GasCar Laser HUNTER - 710005
GasCar Laser HUNTER plus
Pump unit for use with two Laser HUNTERs for separate intake and analysis of the gas flow via
the left and right side of the vehicle.
Possibility to clean the suction system by backwashing using an integrated compressor.
Additional components are required for a functioning system for vehicle-based pipe network
inspection and must be ordered separately:
- 2x Laser HUNTER (item 251220).
- intake unit & probes
- accessories, e.g. hoses
- test system
- notebook, notebook holder & software
- GIS software (Esders Pi NOTE)
- GPS receiver
Description
The Esders GasCar Laser HUNTER is part of a modular system in which the sensor technology, as the heart of the system, has been structurally separated from the pump unit. The sensor system is the highly sensitive and selective gas detection and gas measuring device Laser HUNTER. The advantage of this modular design is a high degree of user flexibility, as the Laser HUNTER can also be used for other applications in the process of pipeline network inspection.
The system can detect even the slightest traces of gas when inspecting buried gas pipelines. Measurement, speed and GPS data are recorded in the process. Sampling is carried out via an intake bar mounted in front of the vehicle or via an intake system integrated in the front of the vehicle. In both cases, different probes can be used. The sample is fed from the pump via the intake system to the Laser HUNTER measuring device, where it is analyzed. In the standard variant, the entire gas flow from all eight probes is led to a Laser HUNTER and analyzed there. In the extended variant (GasCar Laser HUNTER plus), two Laser HUNTERs are used. The gas flow from four probes arranged next to each other is led to one of the two Laser HUNTERs, so that the left and right sides of the vehicle can be evaluated separately and possible leaks can be better localized. It does not matter which laser module (single laser or dual laser) is installed in the Laser HUNTER. The measured values are immediately displayed on the notebook. An occurring alarm is indicated acoustically and visually and can also be evaluated by the user.
The GasCar Laser HUNTER is equipped with effective dust filters and water barriers to protect the system from dirt and moisture ingress. For a functional check of the system, a test set with a 1,000 ppm test gas can and automatic test gas supply can be connected. In use: Austria's high-tech vehicle for gas pipeline network monitoring
