Draeger Introduces Polytron PULSAR Open Path System

Draeger Gas Detection Systems announced here today the Polytron PULSAR Open Path Gas Detection System. Based on proprietary technology developed by U.K.-based Precision Light Measurement Systems (now Draeger PLMS), the Polytron PULSAR represents a breakthrough in Open Path Gas Detection Systems.

Utilizing proprietary multiple high power Xenon lamps with IR (Infrared) optics and the Industry's first auto-alignment system, the Polytron PULSAR is designed for extreme environments such as offshore oil and gas production and processing platforms and in the petrochemical, oil and gas industries.

A combination of Open Path gas detection systems and point sensors offers substantial installation, maintenance and protection benefits over traditional point detector installations.

The Draeger Polytron PULSAR Open Path System uses a transmitter/receiver combination operating over a path length of up to 400 feet (120 meters) to detect and monitor the presence of hydrocarbons via proven IR absorption technology.

The Draeger Polytron PULSAR Open Path System Features;

• Lifetime factory calibration
  
• Fully redundant Xenon strobe light source
  
• Immunity to vibration and high intensity light interference such as from sunlight or production flares
  
• The Industry's first auto-alignment system which eliminates the need for optical alignment tools
  
• One man commissioning to reduce installation and maintenance costs
  
• Heated optics and adaptive variable flash rate lamp technology to achieve maximum detector performance in ice and snow or in foggy or rainy conditions
