320x256/30μm Cooled Infrared Thermal Module for Carbon Monoxide Gas Leak Detection

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and highly toxic gas that poses severe threats to human life and industrial safety. Leaks of CO often occur in scenarios such as petrochemical production, metallurgical processes, gas transportation pipelines, and residential heating systems.

The LFM330Z7 thermal camera module provides a revolutionary solution for CO leak detection, leveraging high sensitivity, non-contact measurement capability, and real-time visualization advantages. It quickly scans wide areas, accurately locates leak sources from a distance, and provides clear imaging to help inspection personnel efficiently identify hidden dangers and ensure operational safety.

The fundamental principle of cooled MWIR infrared cameras for gas detection lies in the characteristic absorption of infrared radiation by gas molecules. Every gas molecule has a unique infrared absorption spectrum, and CO exhibits strong vibrational absorption bands in the MWIR range (3-5 μm), with prominent absorption peaks around 4.3 μm. Cooled MWIR cameras are optimized to capture infrared radiation in this specific spectral range, enabling the detection of CO gas plumes that are invisible to the naked eye.
