Product Introduction
数据中心机房冷媒泄漏气体报警器
数据中心精密空调常用冷媒:R134a、R410A、R32、R454Betc., refrigerant leakage will displace oxygen and cause suffocation; R32 is also weakly flammable. The refrigerant leak alarm consists ofOn-site detector + alarm controllerComposition, achieving 24h online monitoring, audible and visual alarm, linked exhaust, and integration with dynamic environment monitoring.
1. Sensor Principle Selection (NDIR infrared preferred for data centers)
- NDIR non-dispersive infrared (first choice)Strong anti-interference, 8-10 years lifespan, low drift, unaffected by temperature, humidity, dust, or cleaning agents; compatible with R134a/R410A/R32/R454B, mainstream solution for data centers.
- 电化学传感器: Low cost, 2-3 years lifespan, prone to drift, requires frequent calibration, not recommended for long-term use in data centers.
- PID Photoionization:适合微量检漏,对部分冷媒选择性差,多用于便携式检漏仪。
量程建议:0‑5000ppm, resolution 1ppm; output interface: 4-20mA, RS485-Modbus RTU, easy to integrate with dynamic environment systems.
二、报警阈值(工程通用设置)
Table
| 级别 | 浓度 | 动作 |
|---|---|---|
| 一级预警 | 500‑1000ppm | 弹窗提示,记录告警 |
| 二级报警 | 3000‑5000ppm | 声光报警,自动启动事故排风机 |
| 三级联锁 | ≥8000ppm | 强声光,联动空调冷媒切断阀,上传动环告警 |
参考标准:GB 50019-2015 'Code for Design of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning for Industrial Buildings', GB/T9237-2017 'Refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Safety and environmental requirements', ISO5149 Refrigeration safety standardsAdditional note: R32 is a mildly flammable refrigerant; in addition to ppm concentration, attention should also be paid to25% LEL lower explosive limitAs the hard interlock protection threshold.
三、安装布点关键要点
Installation height (differentiated by refrigerant density)
- R134a, R410A: gas heavier than air, detector installed at a distance from the ground0.3‑0.6m安装。
- R32 (lighter than air): detector installed below the ceiling0.3‑0.6m,气体容易聚集顶部。
布点位置
- Key placement: around precision air conditioner compressors, refrigerant valves, flanges, hose connections, and pipeline welds (high-leakage locations).
- Single detector effective coverage radius ≤7.5m; avoid direct fan airflow, air outlets, strong electromagnetic equipment, and reserve space for calibration and maintenance.
- Alarm controller: placed in the duty room/central control room, 1.4-1.6m above the ground; equipped with backup power supply.Both inside and outside the equipment room, audible and visual alarm devices are installed.。
- Wiring: RS485 uses shielded twisted pair; 4-20mA uses three-core shielded cable; cables are routed through galvanized steel conduit for protection.
4. Linkage Functions (Required for Data Centers)
- Alarm triggered→Automatically activate emergency exhaust fan(Mandatory requirement of GB50019)
- High concentration alarm→link refrigerant pipeline shut-off valve
- Signals are uploaded to the equipment room's DCIM platform for environmental monitoring, with pop-up and SMS alarms.
- Local audible and visual alarm (inside machine room + duty area)
5. Daily Operation and Maintenance
- After 30 minutes of stable power-on, perform zero calibration.
- Calibrate with standard gas every 6 months; infrared sensor recommended to be replaced every 8-10 years.
- Regularly clean the detector's dust filter screen to prevent dust accumulation from affecting detection accuracy.
6. Common Misconceptions
❌ Do not use ordinary combustible gas detectors to measure R134a/R410A; these two refrigerants are non-flammable, and catalytic combustion sensors cannot detect them. ❌ Portable leak detectors can only be used for manual inspection.Cannot replace fixed online alarm systems❌ Do not install all detectors above the ceiling: R134a/R410A are heavier than air, and after leakage they sink to the ground; installing at the top will cause missed detection.
VII. Equipment Qualifications (Key Points for Bidding/Acceptance)
Detector protection rating ≥ IP65; with metrological CPA type approval; for explosive atmospheres, equipped with Ex explosion-proof certificate; controller has backup battery, can maintain operation for ≥30 minutes after power failure; supports relay dry contact output for interlocking ventilation and shut-off valves.
