Cubic R32 A2L Refrigerant Sensor
The AM4205 NDIR A2L refrigerant gas sensor by Cubic detects R32 gas for safety or alarms.
Using industry standard UART, in seconds the sensor begins reporting 0-50% LFL (Lower Flammability Limit, equal to LEL Lower Explosive Limit) in with high accuracy. Analog voltage output is also available.
R32 (difluoromethane) and R32-based refrigerant blends have been identified as the lead alternative refrigerant in the HVAC/R market. However, because R32-based refrigerant gases are mildly flammable per ISO 817:2014, they have an A2L classification that requires HVAC/R systems to incorporate a gas leak detection and mitigation system according to UL 60335-2-40 Edition 3 Annex GG & LL.
