Ammonia Gas Alarm | NH₃ Alarm Detector

Ammonia gas alarms are widely used in chemical plants, cold storage refrigeration systems, fertilizer plants, sewage treatment plants, food processing plants, and other industries. Ammonia is toxic and leaks can harm human health and even cause fires and explosions. Installing an ammonia detector monitors ammonia concentrations in the air and issues an alarm, ensuring worker and production safety. Ammonia alarms are essential safety equipment in areas where ammonia is used and stored.

The ammonia(NH₃) gas monitoring and alarm system produced by CMC company consists of a gas detector and controller:

Device Type Main Functions
Ammonia(NH₃) gas detector – Real-time monitoring of ammonia concentration in the air

-Equipped with electrochemical/infrared/catalytic sensors

– Outputs signals to the controller (4-20mA, RS485, relay, etc.)

– Some models have built-in sound and light alarms

– Installed on-site (cold storage, chemical workshop, tank area)

Ammonia(NH₃) gas controller – Centralized reception and display of signals from multiple detectors

– Triggers sound and light alarms when concentration exceeds the limit, can link to fans, shut-off valves, etc.

– Supports multiple inputs (2, 4, 8 channels or more)  – Records historical data and alarm logs

– Supports remote communication and networking  – Installed in monitoring rooms or control centers

In addition to detecting ammonia (NH₃), CMC intelligent gas alarm devices can also detect a variety of toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), chlorine (Cl₂), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), as well as combustible gases such as methane (CH₄), propane (C₃H₈), butane (C₄H₁₀), and hydrogen (H₂). Some models can also simultaneously monitor oxygen (O₂) concentration or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to ensure industrial and production safety.
