Highlights

The Dräger Polytron A500 is a transmitter designed for long-term measurement of ammonia in environments with high humidity and/or dust levels. The special convection cap protects the associated electrochemical DrägerSensor NH3 FL against external influences and ensures continuous NH3 measurement under the specific conditions present in raw and clean gas in exhaust air scrubbing systems.

Durable sensor design enables continuous ammonia measurement in exhaust air

The Dräger Polytron A500 is especially resilient when used in the demanding conditions found in exhaust air treatment systems/air scrubbers or similar end-of-pipe scenarios. The convection cap with integrated heating enables the long-term stable Dräg More information

Precise real-time measurements with high resolution

The DrägerSensor NH3 FL measures ammonia in the 0 – 50 ppm range with high precision and a resolution of 0.15 ppm. The Polytron A500 sensor head outputs a real-time signal via its analogue interface, either 0 – 10 V or 4…20 mA. This allows the device More information

Simple installation and low maintenance

The Polytron A500 is suitable for a wide range of air cleaning system types. It is installed directly within the system. The hanging bracket ensures the transmitter is positioned vertically, allowing the sensor to perform optimally. The Polytron A500 More information

Measuring separation efficiency with a dual-sensor setup

Using two Polytron A500 units makes it possible to continuously monitor the difference between raw gas and clean gas concentrations at the measurement site. To do this, one Polytron A500 with ammonia sensor is placed in the raw gas flow or upstream o More information

Optimising exhaust air cleaning system operation using measured emissions data

The Polytron A500 supports the monitoring and control of both performance and efficiency in existing and new air cleaning systems. It delivers real-time data that helps you optimise operating parameters while controlling ammonia emissions.
