Gas Detection System An Alternative To Traditional Paper Tape Technology
Guardian Gas Detection System for the semiconductor industry that uses economical, electrochemical sensor technology for detecting hazardous gas leaks, such as hydrochloric acid and vapors at low concentrations, where byproducts can easily foul tubes, pipes and instruments.The Draeger Guardian is considered to act as one to one replacement of the common paper tape technology widely used throughout the semiconductor industry today. Unlike the limited shelf life & refrigerated storage requirements of the paper tapes, the Draeger Guardian unit uses sensors, manufactured by Draeger, with an expected sensor life time of up to 3 years. These sensors stand at the ready to monitor gas concentrations at any time. The Draeger Guardian provides rolling, charted recordings of the hazardous gas concentrations over time.
The Draeger Guardian uses no consumable parts and requires no replacement paper tapes in the event of a gas release. This allows emergency personnel the time at the tool to assist with the emergency rather than be fixed at the monitor replacing any cassettes, which may or may not be on hand in the event of a crisis. Rather than using expendable tapes, the Draeger Guardian, uses the electrochemical sensing technology that does not require frequent replacements. The user could easily exchange the existing paper tape system with the Draeger Guardian technology while making no adjustments to the clean rooms or plumbing as they exist. The Draeger Guardian functions the same, and is identical in installation to the standard monitoring devices used in semiconductor plants today.
