The GASBAL™ is a suction based gas detection system suitable for detecting unwanted gas formation in Ballast Tanks, Dry Void Spaces and Pumo Rooms.
What Is It?
The GASBAL™ system is designed to detect and analyze gas concentration in enclosed spaces such as ballast tanks, voids or dry spaces. This gas detection system can be installed on board tankers, OBOs, offshore vessels and rigs and any other ship types requiring empty space gas detection.
Features and Benefits:
Large capacity: 24 suction channels +6 stand-alone
Analyzing up to 7 different gases
Large display unit
Protection valves on suction pipes, reduce risks of water being pumped into the electronics
Digital connection with ballast gauging system closes the conduits automatically when water starts pouring in
Single-source tank gauging and safety
Special Features:
Possibility to combine sampling method and local gas sensors
Modbus RTU communication Protocol
2 digital RS485 communication ports
Remote control unit
Option: Analog transmitter scanning
How Does It Work?
The GASBAL™ consists of two main units:
An analyzing unit, including up to seven different gas sensors and up to 24 input channels for sampling and 6 channels for 4-20mA inputs for external sensors,
A control unit for local and/or remote operation, fitted with an LCD display and a keyboard allowing set up, operation, checking and maintaining the GASBAL™ equipment.
The system scrolls each input using suction pumps and activates an alarm if the gas concentration is over the pre-set value.
Two digital RS485 ports allow control and communication with any host computers.
