The Eagle 2 is designed to withstand extreme conditions (such as nitrogen-purged catalyst units at refineries) and features innovative sensor technology for inert gases. Simplify maintenance and record-keeping with the Eagle 2’s docking and calibration station, the SDM-E2. Automatically charge bump test, calibrate, and archive instrument records using the SDM-E2.
In addition to monitoring combustible gases, Eagle 2 monitors rising O2 concentrations and toxic gases H2S and CO. The CO sensor acts as a dual sensor for carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
Selects either normal or inert mode for alarm levels for the application. The Eagle 2 pump is so powerful that a 125’ hose can be used to monitor the working conditions inside the cracking unit while the hole attendant is holding the Eagle 2 unit outside.
The danger of inert atmosphere – high concentration of explosive gas
It is important to use the proper type of gas meter while working in an inert atmosphere. Inert atmospheres are created when oxygen is displaced by an inert gas, and often a high concentration of explosive gas may be present. An example of an inert atmosphere is the nitrogen-purged catalyst units at refineries. When workers perform any catalyst handling functions in the reactors, special precautions are taken for their inert entry. In these low oxygen conditions, a standard catalytic bead sensor used for combustible gas detection does not operate correctly. RKI’s Eagle 2 uses an infrared (IR) sensor to detect combustible gas from 0-100% LEL. IR technology does not require oxygen for operation.
