MSA Chillgard 5000 – Refrigerant Leak Detector (0-1000ppm)
The Chillgard 5000 is the most versatile and sensitive refrigerant leak detector on the market and can detect as low as 1ppm due to its patented photoacoustic infrared technology (PAIR), providing the quickest response for costly refrigerant gas leaks.
It is compliant with ASHRAE 15 meaning the device will activate both a visual and audible alarm inside and outside of the mechanical room as well as activating mechanical ventilation. The Chillgard 5000 contains 3 levels of alarm, 5 internal relays for fault and a horn option. The 7” touchscreen interface makes the Chillgard 5000 simple to operate and allows for text to be displayed in 6 languages. With a one-touch calibration mode the maintenance of this monitor is simple.
The versatility and stability of this device is unmatched, as it allows you to monitor up to 6 refrigerants and can be configured with up to 16 sampling points. Additional to this, results are not impacted by environmental conditions such as: humidity and temperature. The Chillgard 5000 can operate in temperatures ranging from 0° to 50° C.
For information regarding the usage of this device refer to the Application brochure in the downloads section.
