01 / Product introduction

Product introduction

Combining type-II superlattice (T2SL) high-operating-temperature chip technology with optical gas imaging (OGI), this detector reaches a 140 K operating temperature with low power and very light weight while accurately responding to the strong absorption bands of methane (CH₄), VOCs and other hydrocarbons. Its compact body and fast start-up overcome the bulk, power draw and short endurance of conventional gas-imaging equipment, making it well suited to lightweight UAV gas-inspection gimbals, handheld portable gas detectors and explosion-proof leak-monitoring terminals.

02 / Core application scenarios

Core application scenarios

01
Portable inspection at oil-and-gas fields and refineriesExplosion-proof handheld detection and rapid screening of leaks at wellheads, flanges, pipeline valves and storage tanks.
02
UAV-borne methane inspectionFugitive-emission monitoring in industrial parks, LDAR compliance inspection and aerial patrol of long-distance oil and gas pipelines.
03
Chemical and power high-temperature safety monitoringThermal-defect screening of high-temperature reactors and industrial kilns, and intelligent 24-hour monitoring of high-voltage assets.
04
Environmental enforcement and emergency responsePortable rapid gas imaging for environmental inspectors and on-site response to sudden gas releases.

03 / Core advantages

Core advantages

01
High operating temperature, very low powerA 140 K chip operating temperature cuts steady-state draw to ≤3 W, substantially extending runtime for handheld and portable equipment.
02
Ultra-light for payload integrationAt ≤270 g including the controller, the compact assembly integrates easily into explosion-proof portable terminals and light UAV gimbals.
03
Gas leak visualisationAn NETD of ≤18 mK captures very small temperature differences and low-concentration plumes, making trace leaks immediately visible.
04
Rapid start-up and high consistencyCooldown of ≤2 min (@23 °C) and operability of ≥99.7% deliver smooth, clean imagery around the clock.
